Celebrity Sneaker Heads
Celebrities are known for wearing the best of the best, well most of them at least, and some of these famous names focus their attention solely on their kicks… no pun intended. Fat Joe, Bun B, and Wale are just some of the most well-known sneaker heads in the game, but they are definitely not the only ones.
Kanye West has proven to be a lover of all things fashion, including sneakers, with the release of his Air Yeezys. The rapper was recently seen at his Dw fashion show in Paris rocking a pair of Infrared Air Jordan VI. Even though all of the press should have been focused on the clothes of the fashion line, they couldn’t help but give the man himself some attention. Kid Cudi is another celebrity that does not shy away from showing off his kicks. Just last week, he was doing an interview with Conan O’Brian while wearing the notorious Nike Mags. He also talked about how he copped five pairs during the eBay auction. Yeah, that’s right. He got FIVE pairs. I don’t even want to imagine how much that cost. But, even outside the rap game, celebrities appreciate their kicks, like Orioles pitcher, Jeremy Guthrie, and actor Micheal Trevino who both tweeted pictures of their sneakers.
It’s clear that some celebrities are legit sneaker fiends and love to boast about them. They collect as many as they can and they end up treating them like small children. There are some very impressive collections in this bunch, but which celebrity do you think has the best sneaker collection? Take a look at some of these pictures and let us know what you think.
Music Monday: Happy Birthday M.J.!
It was just a little over two years ago that we lost one of the greatest icons in music, Michael Jackson. He was one of my personal heroes for as long as I can remember and nothing can ever change that. When I first heard about Michael’s death, I was in shock and I still can’t believe that he’s gone, but I realized that I need to appreciate the fact that I lived to see him shine. I can tell my kids about how Michael’s music directly influenced me, instead of just telling them what I heard about him. Today, Michael would’ve been 53 years old, so I thought that we should take some time to celebrate the incredible work that he left for us. Say what you want to say about him, but there is no denying that he was a true performer. Michael Jackson knew how to create hit singles and let’s not even mention his legendary dance moves. No matter what, Michael Jackson will always be known as the King of Pop, so I leave you all with one of my personal favorites “Smooth Criminal” (Trust me, I almost broke my ankles trying to do that lean!)
