Over the past few weeks, we have unrolled the Sneaker Files Celebrity Shoe Sightings series. Welcome to the Air Jordan Edition!
Our last two Celebrity Shoe Sighting posts focused on Converse and New Balance. This time we feature the biggest name inspired by the greatest game. There appears to be a great history of Air Jordans appearing on the feet of celebrities. It started when Spike Lee gave the brand some free product placement in his movies. Nowadays, celebrities are photographed wearing Air Jordan sneakers both on-screen and off. From Will Smith to Seinfeld, John ‘King Ralph’ Goodman to Fred Savage (Wonder Years); the supporters of Jordan Brand are well diversified. There are some great pictures after the break. Please share your thoughts!

  5. I don't see why Will Smith can't design a Jordan shoe. He was wearing J's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before Nelly even started singing about them.

  6. Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee) gets the crown for being the original Jordan-head, but Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison ) from A Different World is the Crown Prince. Check the re-runs from 1987 to about 1991!

  8. The cast of Home Improvement would rock Jordans and other classic 90's Nikes on many episodes as well as The Backstreet Boys who also rocked Jordans in some of their music videos.

    Great post! I'd love to see this expanded on, it illustrates the shoes' influence on culture and style.
