Sole Collector Celebrity Sneaker Watch // 5.18.12

words // Brandon Richard

Already a Celebrity Sneaker Watch favorite, Kanye West has almost become a daily candidate for sneaker spotting since his relationship with Kim Kardashian went public. After lacing up the recently released Nike Air Flight 89 retro in London yesterday, Kanye spent today wearing his go-to sneaker, the "Infrared" Air Jordan Retro 6. Unfortunately, there was no matching pair for Kim this time around.

Elsewhere, Teyana Taylor went hardbody in the "Playoff" Air Jordan Retro 12; The Game and his granny are ELITE for the postseason; Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is clutch in Under Armour; Jadakiss brought out the cannons; J.R. Smith slept on the "Cavs" Air Jordan Retro 4; 50 Cent and Eddy Curry caught taxis; and Michael Jackson's eldest is a lowkey sneakerhead.

Keep an eye out for all of these kicks and more in today's Sole Collector Celebrity Sneaker Watch.
