Monday night, Wiz Khalifa announced a partnership with Converse, making him the latest rapper to officially endorse a sneaker brand. Don't mistake this for a money grab though — Wiz has been down with Converse, even starring in a few advertisements a couple years back. In fact, his Taylor Gang label and crew is partially inspired by the iconic silhouette, so when he calls this deal MAJOR, you better believe he means it.
What the new partnership means moving forward is still unclear, but Wiz is already teasing new product in the form of a signature pair of Chucks. With that, we thought it'd be fun to take a look back at some of Wiz's best moments in Converse sneakers over the years. Chucks are his go-to model majority of the time, but there a few surprises in the mix. Read on for 20 photos of his top selections.
