While Nike shoes, especially styles like the Air Jordan, have been used widely by many important athletes in the sports world in sports like basketball, they have also been making a huge impact in the style choices of big names in the music industry as well. There are many paparazzi that follow the big names in the music industry around on a regular basis, and more often than not they are snapping photos of these stars wearing top notch Nike shoes. This includes Hollywood celebrities and actresses as well, but not in the same large numbers when you mention rap and hip hop stars.
And the Nike shoe company has noticed the support from the music industry, and has since made a new line of Nike Air Jordan’s that are made to be worn especially in hip hop and rap music videos, so they can take advantage of this unique product placement. Nike Air Jordan’s are the hip thing to be wearing on your feet in the eyes of music royalty, and many of these celebrities come out in droves to purchase and support Nike and their new shoe collections.
One of the most supportive female musicians of the Nike shoes is Lily Allen, a famous British pop star who kicked off her career around 2008. There have been many photos taken of her in her Nike’s, and her Nike shoe of choice is the Air Force 1 – Air Jordan 2 Fusion Black, Green Bean which was actually released in the winter of 2008. There have been numerous other occasions and musical appearances that Lily Allen has made, each time pairing her dresses and outfits with a pair of Nike shoes.
By far one of the biggest names in hip hop and rap is Kanye West, and he is one of the big supporters of Nike shoes. More often than not you are going to see him in his Air Jordan boots, which have actually been featured in many of his music videos. In addition to these Air Jordan boots, Kanye is also seen around town sporting another favorite pair, the Air Jordan 8 Aqua. Whether he’s on the stage, on the basketball court or hanging out around town, Kanye never seems to be too far from his Nike’s.
In addition to these two celebrities who are currently sporting the newest and hottest pairs of Nike shoes, there are also collections being created for Nike by celebrities who the love the brand, so you can get a taste of the Nike and celebrity style all at once. These shoes reflect the DNA of the Nike brand, but with a hip hop brand that helps celebrities stand out from the crowd.
