Get your weekend started by joining us in our latest recap of kicks worn by celebrities.
Earlier this week, we tackled the topic of celebrity sneaker endorsers still wearing shoes by other brands. While this may be perceived as something negative, it could also be a good thing for a few reasons. An example of a celebrity who does this featured in this week's spotlight is Kanye West, who chose Visvim over adidas for his SXSW Watch the Throne performance. Now, Visvim isn't exactly viewed as a direct competitor to adidas, but would you like to see Kanye West in stripes from time to time? Or would it seem forced if he suddenly started showing up everywhere in adidas?
For the first time in a while, a non-Jordan shoe was the most worn Celebrity Sneaker of the Week. This week, the 'Red October' Nike Air Yeezy 2 gets the nod, spotted on the feet of Trinidad James, Allyson Felix, Rick Ross, Wale and Theophilus London.
Nicki walks Jeremy Scott's poodles, Future's on a mission, Boosie home in 'Taxis' and much more in today's Celebrity Sole Watch.
Even while he's shelved, Nate Robinson is still winning your vote for Sole Celebrity of the Week. His lineup of Jordans helped him earn last week's honors and he's in good shape to repeat. Let us know who you think brought the heat this week by voting below.
