We wrap up another week with a look back at the latest celebrity sneaker sightings.
Kanye West's rumored adidas deal is still the hottest story in sneakers, bringing light to the discussion of the power of celebrity influencers in sneakers. Nike typically dominates these posts, largely in part to the popularity of Jordan retros. With 'Ye being the first domino, do you see adidas gaining any pull with celebs and influencers in the near future?
The iconic Air Jordan 1 held on to Celebrity Sneaker of the Week honors after being spotted on the feet of Macklemore, Big K.R.I.T., Theophilus London, Trinidad James, Nate Robinson and Carmelo Anthony. Next month's OG Black/Red release may mean we see this classic dominate the rest of the year.
Mayweather knocks out two Nike ACG boots, 2 Chainz rocks chained up Giuseppes, Durant in Duck 5s, Kevin Hart sidelined in the Nike Air Yeezy and much more in this week's Celebrity Sole Watch.
Kanye isn't wearing his 'Red October' Nike Air Yeezy 2, but with the Visvim FBT Shaman and Nike Free Inneva Woven, he won your vote for 11.22 Sole Celebrity of the Week. Did he put together the right lineup to repeat or did another celeb have the answers? Vote for this week's top celeb below.
