The ultimate status symbol of the 1980s, what sneaker brand does rapper Slick Rick give a shout out to in his hit “La Di Da Di"?

Bally is a Swiss luxury fashion house, founded by Carl Franz Bally and his brother Fritz. Footwear News called Bally "the OG designer sneaker maker" and "became a status symbol in the mid-1980s when rap stars including Doug E. Fresh helped boost its name through street style and lyricism during the emerging urban hip-hop movement."
