This Washington D.C. rapper is widely considered sneaker royalty. He is a bona-fide collector who has been on the scene since long before the trend caught fire. Wale’s prominence means he is in high demand as a sneaker model, and many know him as the face of Nike Foamposites. He remains a respected force behind many sneaker design collaborations with big-name brands such as Asics. Plus, he kills it on Instagram, where he oftenposts about his self-proclaimed obsession. The true hallmark of Wale’s sneakerhead status? Much of his music references shoes (Complex even published an entire guide dedicated to hislyrical sneaker references).
“Take this good advice / If they're gonna judge you for life / Say we can't always be fly / We gon' be good long as them sneakers white.”
