Why Celebrities Are Obsessed With Jordan 4 Off White

Just one look at that name and you can tell these were a part of the early 80s Fitness boom. They were everywhere.

Not only did the Reebok Ex-O-Fit introduce the use of Velcro — something that has been seen on sneakers from the Air Force 1 to the jordan 4 off white Air Yeezy — it became an influential beast on mainstream sneaker culture, challenging the way popular society thought of fitness and health.

It was also one of the very first sneakers to be worn outside of its purpose, playing a monumental role in the migration of sneakers from sports to the streets and into fashion.  Without this movement, sneakers may have remained on the hardwood and in the gym — and for that reason, the Ex-O-Fit makes the list.

While Tinker Hatfield didn’t invent cross-training per se, he did introduce a new kind of cross-training, something like we’ve never seen before — obviously helped along by a massive marketing push by Nike, and some big names in Bo Jackson and John McEnroe.

When it’s original Chlorophyll colorway dropped in 1987, it’s wild design stood out from the pack — just like the two athletes mentioned above that endorsed it.

It is the grandfather of every 90s baseball and football trainer and cleat of the ’90s; it indeed was a game changer. And if anyone could take on the task that so many had failed to do before him, it was Tinker.

If we’re talking skate shoes, there is none better than Steve Caballero’s Vans Half Cab. It is, to this day, regarded as the single best skate shoe ever made and is still the preference of skaters around the world.

The way these took off in the early 90s truly shaped skate shoes, with brands desiring to recreate their very own Half Cab-status sneaker. And through all the wild trends we’ve seen in skate, nothing has stood the test of time like the Half Cab.

It’s inspired mid-cut skate shoes to vulcanized jordan 4 off white soles and extra padding, and is solely responsible for signature models even exist in skateboarding — think of it as the Air Jordan 1 for skate, because in that industry, it’s just as important, and probably twice as influential.
