Fancy Footwork

Like many a hip-hopper before him, Game has his own footwear, the 310 Motoring “Game,” a white-and-black athletic shoe that’s as clean and stylish as Jayceon Terrell Taylor himself. But Game’s not the only celebrity to bring acclaim to a pair of kicks.

Air Jordans

Considering Michael Jordan was the most phenomenally amazing basketball player on the planet, it should come as no surprise that Nike’s Air Jordans ended up one of the most iconic shoes in the universe. Case closed.

Adidas

Sure Run D.M.C. tossed the three-leaf shoes into the mainstream with 1986’s “My Adidas,” but the bad boys from Bakersfield in Korn updated the footgear fetish when they made Adidas sneaks (and track suits) all the rage during the nü-metal ’90s.

Manolo Blahniks

Relationships come and go but Manolo Blahniks are forever. From the first Manolos Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw put on to the fling with the black Mary Janes at Vogue to those final blue satins, Bradshaw’s ups and downs with boys is nothing compared to her ups and, well, ups with the Spanish pumps.

DC Shoes

When DC Shoes decided to sponsor skate/reality TV star/entrepreneur Rob Dyrdek, the popularity of these already-popular skate shoes went big. Rob & Big big.
