Were you guys rocking the G-Unit Sneakers?
As much as I like gunit. I hated how they dressed especially those spinner chains that eventually got even more wack when John Cena started to wear them lol
@@richdude8150 John cena copied everything even the yayo dance
@@pandachopnews he gave yayo his props for the hand gestures but I think he should have dropped yayo a couple millions or even thousands
I wanted to but couldn't afford them
I did have a pair the
Black joints I was in 10th grade
I feel so proud to wear the G-unit RBK. At an early age.

Bruh I can’t believe you made a video on this. You starting to make videos people ain’t made. First the bigfase100 one and now this. You keep doing this and you def gonna blow
Appreciate that bro! I’m trying. I been coming up with a list of videos I want to do and it’s based off what I don’t really see on RUclips. It’s the approach I’m going to have with my interviews too. If some of the stuff is out there but not elaborated on then that’s what I’m going after
@@pandachopnews fosho bro you keep it real 💯 keep making that 🔥 content I’ll always pull up
You a real one man 💯
Thinking outside the box. Actually enjoyed the video. Didn’t even know how big the deal was
@@TheBoyWithThePlans 💪🫡👍🙏 yeah it’s crazy what he was able to do
Loved the original low cut white and blue. It was like wearing a grey goose bottle on your foot.
😂😂😂
Damn Prodigy spoke a like a boss on that book! 50 Cent was always right on this issue, Buck and the others were immature as businessman.
Bruh I keep telling people the g unit area was SOMETHING ELSE
I’m saying man. We never seen anything like it honestly even with today where you have social media and things are more in your face. This man 50 was literally everywhere
era
Production quality and education with this vid🔥. Much respect ✊🏾
Appreciate you 🫡
Crazy video! Great work! g unit shoes were also available in Europe and sold out realIy quickly. A kid from school had the black pair with the tumble leather and they looked crazy but it was impossible to get them how quickly everything sold out. I managed to get a mid orange / white pair but dumb young me didn't take too much care of them so they got holes within 6 months. I had lots of g unit clothing as well. Mark ecko was really popular and I had his video game trane as well. Also had 2 pairs off Hurricanes (the black and white pair). I still have the wristband that came with the shoes
Shouts out to Joe La Puma for knowing the stunt 101 lyrics, that song doesn't get as much attention as it should!! Lol
Appreciate you watching man 🙏 that’s really interesting to hear how big it was overseas too
All my gunit clothes and shoes were super durable I have a container I’m my basement of old shit and it’s mostly gunit shirts and jeans cause that’s all that survived my childhood and we was really outside
Would u sell them?
Ayooo I neveeeeeer heard them RBK promo remixes till this video 😭 props!!
😂😂😂🫡🫡🫡
I still love that sneaker
Yo my guy you did a good job on this one!
🫡💪🙏 you one of my biggest supporters. I appreciate that big homie
@@pandachopnews you know it 🫡👍🏾💪🏾
My 🥷👊
I got a crazy story I remember. I was in prison about a 12years ago and there was this white boy that would always try to walk the track with me and I would try so hard to avoid him because he had G-Unit tattooed big as hell on the side of his neck! It looked so goofy to me and a lot of people would clown him for it. Bumped into him years later and he got the G-Unit tattoo on his neck covered up with some other kind of tattoo? That G-Unit craze was for real back in the day for some people lol
That’s insane why would he do that?! 😂😂😂
Fr though
This was my whole childhood, thanks bro
🙏🙏🙏
@@pandachopnews 🖤
This and Kanye’s Bapesta was my dream shoes back then
This video put that G Unit meeting into a different perspective. Fif was power trippin!! It would’ve been different if they showed up to a public event without the shoes. Banks always got the short end, cause he was repping so hard.
50 showed he was good business man.
I had some of these shoes in hi top. They were the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned
That’s crazy! 💪 a lot of people hated on the shoes
These were hot af for a minute and the dark navy blue sweaters were siik
😂😂😂💯💯💯
I had the G unit pumps. My favorite shoes
Nice vid ideaan
Never heard that rbk stomp : sheeesh 🔥🔥🔥
I had the Yankees pair. I wore them everyday to school with a matching track suit
Cant front I had the oringinal G-Units, they were all black with the blue stripes. I brought them of course because of the Bank's "G-Unit sneaker" line
I still wear my g unit clothes 2023
😂😂😂 what part of the country you live in
@@pandachopnews California hahahaa
I know it's funny but I don't really care what people think. Just a few jackets and hoodies, ain't nothing wrong with that
I wish I had a pair
G unit was the best ever🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I had the white pair @0:37. There certy like the workouts.
obv Rbk was doing bits in the 90s/00s put that with 50s hype n it was n explosion.
He did say G-Unit everything G-Unit flims G-Unit video games 🎮 he really meant everything he was doing the right thing he was hustling the right way
Bro had it in him to hustle and get it. That’s why he said recently he wished yayo was the successful superstar rapper and he coulda just did business
@@pandachopnews Bulletproof is a classic Blood in the sand was an improvement
Yeah the second video game was better because of the game play. It’s also crazy bro he had the soundtrack on point
@@pandachopnews yea blood in the sand was dope took me a minute to beat it but, it was a great game
I still got mine too
WTF!!! 50 and jay z rapping together???
Bring it back!!!
I definitely had the same. Carter and the G-Unit sneakers 👟
😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
@@pandachopnews them sneakers 👟 was dope
💯💪
Fresh of the jet then I breeze to the beaches, blue Yankee fitted Gunit sneakers🔥🔥
I missed school the day the g6 went on sale snd my mom took me to foot locker to cop em
They were showing the 50 cent and jay z sneaker rap on a video that was talking about the beef between them.
👍👍👍
17:52 even as a big buck fan I gotta agree with prodigy on dat one
😂😂😂 it just wasn’t the right time for that
Bet those blu white red striped ones sold well in France 😂
I'm finna get my own reebok deal
😂😂😂
Whats the song in the commercial with the kids standing on the boxes looking through the window? Sound like dmx where the hood at and what up gangsta type vibe.
that’s crazy i didn’t have the rbk’s but i definitely had the hurricanes 😂 2 pair of the black with the red laces tho i didn’t like white shoes back then lol i also been a game fan since then too it’s crazy how rare tho hurricanes would be right now too bad they not worth shit lol i wonder where my pairs went 🤔
😂😂😂 I looked them up and people try to sell them for a grip and they all used and messed up
I had these in middle school
GGGG -unit
don't lie you had the pink ones huh? 😂😂😂
@@pandachopnews lol
I’m just playingggg 😂
Anybody Remember The G-Unit Mixtape 📼 💿 With The GRAND THEFT AUTO Cut-Scene Audio 🎶 ? ? ? On One Of The Songs, LLoyd Banks Was Like “ Flow’s Uglier Than The Master P Sneaker “, LMAO 🤣 ❗
Yeah he said that on the victory freestyle
For a good portion it was as high as or near as long as Rocawear, Sean Jean, And Wu Wear.
The good ol days 😂
I had the black mid top gun it's and the hurricanes white and the black ones
😂😂😂 that’s dope
The sht sold in Chicago when it was around
Yeah it was everywhere
'Gun its' 😂😂😂
Would be cool if you covered some down south artist like Jeezy and Gucci sometimes man. I use to love Jeezy. Well I still do but was really rocking with him when he was buzzing like that and Gucci earned my respect too btw I never saw that commerical with Jay
You’ve never seen that commercial?! Whattt
@@pandachopnews Yep I never saw it lol
@@richdude8150 😂classic
Jay & 50 would hate to hear this but they made a hot combo and should've did like a 6 song LP 2gthr!
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 legendary
👍👍👍
Oohh man fwiw ngl the leather white shoes I like for water resistance and water tight, material and durability vs, the cloth shoes, nowdays thus the K swiss ones fwiw and also the apparently reebok ones fwiw.
I had 1 pair da all white g6'z
😂😂😂 nostalgia huh
Right it was just a wrong day for Banks. I vividly remember Banks was wearing those sneakers EVERYWHERE. Shows, music videos, hell just google Lloyd Banks style. 9/10 it's him wearing Reebok.
Those Reebok g unit pumps and Yankee g unit shoes look sick
They got that much just for wearing those shoes??? F that, I'm wearing them, you gonna bury my ass in them, they'll never come off! 🤣🤣
😂😂😂 right?! I would have taken a portion of that
Reebok now in walmart what a fall
Here in Europe it's not true anymore. I have two pairs of Reebok Club C's (one in white with some navy trim, and the others in black). And I've seen here a lot of people rockin those Reebok's, almost as abundant as Nike and Adidas. Yeah there are two lineups, the cheaper ones (like you've mentioned, that are sold at places like Walmart) and the more pricey Classics lineup for nostalgia purposes.
I have a feelings they might Bring it back for it’s 20th anniversary
What makes you say that?
Because right now this decades. They are bringing back things that they used to wear back in 2000s. Just like 2010s when 90s fashions were coming back. Now is 2000s fashion is coming back in this decades.
💯💯💯 you got a good point
Shet look like some pro keds...but no kicks will ever be uglier than the master P sneaker!!
Banks said it best! HAHA
bro you had hurricane's?? damn i never got yo buy g-unit sneakers or hurricane's i had a g-unit hoodie a g-unit t-shirt and g-unit jeans
They looked looked like sketchers mixed with stan smiths
😂😂😂
You forgot the P.Millers from Penny's lmao
😂😂😂 bro they so ugly you got to forget them. Remember what banks said?? It can get more ugly than a master p sneaker
Where can you buy g-unit sneakers today...I still would wear those joints 😎😎😎😎
Bro they like $500 or more for some used ones 😂😂😂
@@pandachopnews "DAMN!" 😎😎😎
@@MixtapeKilla2004 😂😂😂 I saw someone trying to sell some that were just trashed and I’m like bro who wants to buy that?!
Best shoes ever.These were bigga than Jordan's!!! I had damn near every color!!!!
Are you capping or being real? 😂😂😂
@@pandachopnews Exxagerating but These sneaks were the biggest hip hop/rap artists sneaks if I'm not mistaken.
@@markmercado89 yeah that’s why I was surprised nobody did a video on them!
@@pandachopnews That was a good idea.Good content.If 50 made some Gunit shoes 2day that would be dope.Like a limited time deal.
@@markmercado89 20th anniversary of GRODT next month… best time to do it is now
Why 50 use to talk like he had his jaw wired shut lol
Let me be honest if im getting paid a a quarter of a Million dollars to wear Sneakers........You best believe thats gonna be the only thing on my feet, The problem with G unit members them dudes wasn't smart...........That's Why 50 distance him self after a while, Everybody was ungrateful except Yayo and Banks........Banks was just lazy but everybody else showed there true colors 🤦🏾♂️ Smfh.........I had the black on black and white and Red G unit sneakers............Them joints was comfortable
these were NEVER poppin in NYC to be honest and I was in high school when they came out. by the time G-Unit clothes came out ecko as a poppin brand was already on decline and nobody was fucking with reebok back then besides the iversons
Thanks for watching and commenting 🫡 he obviously was selling a bunch of them. Who you think was buying it then? 😂
They were popping in Jamaica back in the day. It was the go too shoe. Them and custom airforces.
I am what I am
No. But I got a blue Yankees Fitted. Wool.
😂😂😂 those were 🔥
It's cause celebrities and product merchandise or promos, going hand in hand fwiw makes for the statement, that they have the dankest sense in fashion and, whatever else well prolly most stuff as far as brands to promote and to support and stuff fwiw. Like it just goes there man like whatever, like a catchy good song ig.
Plus idk wtf well anything really afaict regarding fasjion or fashion sense lmmfao ngl like legit idk so that also helps fwiw making it easier to do a variety of pieces of various sources for fashion advice/knowing what is going on more or lese.. at least a lil, even just for amusement of learning what is what lmao ngl.
I wish I did
I never ever ever seen nobody from my hood or my city period with a pair of G-Unit shoes on lol it don't even sound right saying G-Unit shoes.
😂😂😂 how old were you at the time though?
@@pandachopnews mid 20s
@@pandachopnews I messed with his music just wasn't feeling them shoes lol
I was a teenager when it came out. Shoes got better overtime but when they first came out they were a little plain Imo
Stop lyin!!! U wasn't outside🤣
my man prodigy said I would have wore the Gunit in my casket. Lol RIP
😂😂😂
Prodigy was right🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's not, a bad, looking sneaker
💯💯💯
Man they use my picture from Reddit
Where can I buy?
Get some old ones on eBay
😭 bruh you was rocking the hurricanes? You got terrible taste! I ain’t gon front I had a pair of the g6 trainers 😅
😂😂😂 I know wth was I thinking bro especially getting two pairs smh it’s funny how you look back on things and think what was I thinking!!! The G6 trainers look dope btw looking back on it
@@pandachopnews 😭I’m the same way bruh I was dressing in them baggy clothes like Banks was saying like all them times I had to walk bo legged like to keep them up when I could have just wore tighter clothing 😭
You was wearing them pants in a 40 and 3XL tee 😂😂😂 you had the skull cap or durag on too?
G-unit boots stay selling out. g-unit reeboks 😢😢😢😢😢
Nelly use to have Vokál
Man they needa bring back them g unit sneakers for real
😂😂😂
Do one in games shoes hurricanes
He didn’t really have a long history of shoes like 50 though
Those sketchers rip offs sold 3,000 pairs😂
@@FukkYuPayMe what sketchers rip offs? 😂😂😂
@@pandachopnews talking about the hurricanes 😂
@@FukkYuPayMe ahhh 😂😂😂
Young Buck, if you're getting a 1/4 of million to wear RBK, then you should wear them every day especially if you're not pulling any weight on your own. Common sense. Bus rider
😅 20:07 I be saying to myself you are are Game fan there it is
😂😂😂 objective fan
@@pandachopnews you also a Game Stan lol 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
@@Obresedk96 nah I wouldn’t say that cuz Stans fail to see any logic to arguments people make about their favorite artist. Game isn’t my favorite artist and I am always reasonable when people make arguments about him or 50. They are connected because they have one of the most infamous rivalries outside of Biggie and Pac
@@pandachopnews got you bro 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
@@Obresedk96 thanks for watching the video bro 🫡
So why not grow with market that's how business work 50
Yeah idk. Would have been interesting to see him go in another direction with it
Yes I feel the same way their could have even be bigger and improve the sneakers style adopt
Them shoes declined with his musical success.
@@GodmadeTrends ahahaha 😂 😆 🤣 😅
I live 50 but he only ever heard 1great album he's second was more about hype from his first
Ain’t nobody was wearing them in Miami 😂
I’m sure some people were wearing them 😂😂😂
So u was all over Miami checkin everybody 2 c if they had em huh!?🤣🤡
@@markmercado89 😂😂😂 must be a khaled fan we the besttttt
@@pandachopnews 🤣
@@markmercado89 you from Miami? I bet you ain’t so how would you know? Why you getting mad for?
Everyone knows the real reason.
The Game ended GUnit
He contributed but I don’t think he was the sole reason. G-unit had ruled the industry for years and people just wanted something different and that’s why Kanye was able beat 50 in the album sales. There was a shift in music
No jay z the satanic mo fo
👍❤(G-UNIT)❤👍
Gunit banks the truth
Banks was your favorite?
@@pandachopnews yes sir since way back got to see your shows a few times by himself and twice with the unit got to meet him twice too real cool humble cat
Yeah banks always seemed like that type of dude where he would be humble and down to earth
