It's once again time to take a look at the kicks being laced up by the biggest names in sports, music and entertainment.
It's been hard not to take notice of Austin Mahone's sneaker game lately. Believed to be the next big pop star, Mahone has been hard at work as one of the acts for the Jingle Ball concert series. For this week's shows, he laced up two colorways of the Air Jordan 11, 'Doernbecher' 9s, 'Thunder' 4s, 'Safari' Foams and the Air Force 1 Hi. In previous weeks, he's rocked the 'South Beach' LeBron 8 and multiple colorways of the Nike Air Yeezy. Not exactly who we had pegged as the next big celebrity sneakerhead, but he's certainly one to look out for.
The Air Jordan 5 held on to its Celebrity Sneaker of the Week title. Drake, Twista, Future, DJ Clark Kent and J. Cole were among the names that laced up a pair this past week.
DJ Khaled lines up 'Pearl' 9s, Bieber visits the Philippines in the Skytop 4, Kobe in Christian Louboutin and much more in this week's Celebrity Sole Watch.
With a strong lineup of Jordan retros, Bow Wow dethroned Kevin Durant for last week's Sole Celebrity of the Week crown. Who gets the nod this time? Cast a vote for your top celebrity sneakerhead below.
