Yeah, it kind of goes "underground" a bit in popularity, depending. Well, since I was there to witness the onset of the various brands of shoes and sports gear, First it was Converse canvass Chuck Taylors, then it kinda went to roundball Pro Keds, which, at the time were all the rage, but were suede and heavy and clunky as hell. Then Puma and Adidas came along with similarly heavy clunky roundball shoes, including the "shelltoe", but their logos were cool, so they too became the rage. Then Nike came along with the Portland Trailblazers and I though it was stupid because it looked like an inverted Puma logo. However, their shoes were more streamlined and lighter, using more finished leather which was used ever since, so Nike just kept going and going until they, with the help of MJ, got yuge.
Still not a Nike fan, personally, and also not a fan of the retro, throwback clunky styles of my youth that are recycled in popularity. I used to wear 'em to play roundball--way too heavy.
My fav shoes that Adidas ever came out with were the Adi Racer a few years back, ttly cool:
