Celebrity #SoleWatch: 5.30.15

by Brandon Richard

We're back with an all-new lineup of the latest sightings in celebrity footwear.

One of the most fun stories to hit the newswire in quite some time is Scripps National Spelling Bee co-champion Gokul Venkatachalam putting together his winning performance in the 'Legend Blue' Air Jordan 11. He's also a big sneakerhead, and we had the opportunity to speak to him about his collection, favorite pairs and possible hardships of trying to cop while competing. Read the full interview here.

During a balanced week in which no particular shoe separated itself from the field, the Nike Air Force 1, Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 11 all make the same number of appearances in the spotlight. Yeezy 750 Boost momentum is slowing up a bit with celebrities — just in time for the Yeezy 350 release date.

Dez Bryant goes Jumpman to open training camp, Joe Haden shows Yankee pride at The Q, LeBron James dusts off old ’SVSM’ PEs and more featured in this week’s Celebrity #SoleWatch.

In a really tight vote, readers selected NBA prospect Jahlil Okafor as the 5.23 Sole Celebrity of the Week after he broke out black Air Jordan 3Lab5s for his draft interviews. Let us know who you think rocked the most heat in this week’s watch by voting below.
