It's 4/20 and one of your favorite smokers dropped a new mixtape at midnight -- Covert Coup with The Alchemist -- for you to get proper to. Curren$y has been around for a few years but recently has really started to show up on everyone’s radar with his music, and now his sneaker game. If you follow Complex’s “Spotted” section, you have peeped the kid rockin’ some legitimate heat as of late. We recently sat down with the New Orleans rapper and discussed his favorite shoes. Click through the gallery to check out Curren$y’s 10 Favorite Sneakers of All-Time.

Sooo... For all of this guys sneaker raps he doesn't know about Altitude XIII's, or that True Blue was an OG colorway o the III.

Currency is a "sneakerhead" with money. He probably has as much sneaker knowledge as Jim Jones...which is none. Clown.

You a fool , that was only a sample , not Og , there was two og's that Jordan wore , learn some knowledge.

Pick number 5 are not the infrareds VI's they are the varsity VI's
the prufessa April 20th, 2011 at 02:10 PM

brooklynboi April 20th, 2011 at 11:34 PM

An OG sneakerhead taught me that if you can see through the air unit, its Infrared. If the air unit is black its the Varsity Red. So those are actually the Infrared...

#5 is the retro VI pistons colorway retards..I kno cuz I gotta pair
you're dumb April 20th, 2011 at 04:55 PM
you're officially a retard get your facts straight before posting a dumb comment.
Miggz April 20th, 2011 at 04:15 PM
LB213 those are infareds. The Piston colorway is black suede and patent leather. The midsole is grey, red and blue that matches the tongue, heel tab, and Jordan Jumpman logo. U stupid for reckless an dnot knowin' shit. xNnoitra I can see why u would think that.
JetsNigga April 20th, 2011 at 05:20 PM
Are you kidding me.? Curren$y has crazy shit, like the OG Columbia XI's, I guarantee none of you haters got a pair of them, let alone a beat pair.
Gunna April 20th, 2011 at 10:06 PM
Throttle back there sprout. I can't defend/justify anyone's comments but my own. No hate simply made an observation. If I talked about the movie Shaft w/ Sam Jackson all of the time, & I list it as one of my favorite movies ever. You'd expect me to know that it was a re-make & that original was released decades earlier, & was better... Right or wrong?
Gunna April 20th, 2011 at 10:17 PM
Almost forgot... get off of his dick! Everything on this list I want, I have w/ the exception of the IV's. So if you don't have those in a sz 12, or the Columbia XI's you're speaking on, stop cheerleading.
Lee_Malone April 20th, 2011 at 07:51 PM
I have columbia XI's. I have all XI's that ever dropped. But then again im not hatin! But I do have 1 question.. how are XI's not on the top 10 list of a 'sneakerhead' ?
ADam April 20th, 2011 at 08:08 PM
The only rapper sneakerhead with any knowledge of sneakers is wale. mad respect for him
Koach_CartER April 20th, 2011 at 08:24 PM
alltitudes arent a og 13 colerway bruh
Gunna April 20th, 2011 at 09:46 PM
Didn't say they were... said he doesn't know about them as he referred to them as though someone was wearing some unknown, knock-off 13's.
RJ April 21st, 2011 at 11:14 AM
What did you read? He didn't insinuate that the Altitudes were knock offs, he said he wasn't familiar with them and didn't like them. Does a celebrity have to know and love every single Jordan in order to be credible? FOH
Gunna April 21st, 2011 at 10:36 PM
Should've left it at unknown I'll admit, but for the 2nd part of your reponse nope, def doesn't have to love them that's called an opinion & he has a right to one. Apparently w/e he knows or loves it doesn't matter you'll ride that dick right , wrong, or on the fence... don't forget to strap up.
Lawrence April 27th, 2011 at 05:27 PM
What happened too the space jams spitta? you got them in almost all your raps? WTF?
