Gallery: Throwback Photos of Celebrities Wearing Iconic Sneakers

The '80s and '90s were filled with great sneakers, style and entertainment — much of which we see retro versions of today. While it's great to appreciate how that golden era influences today's trends, it's best to take an in-depth look at it firsthand. We've seen what Seinfeld and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air's respective sneaker arsenals looked like in the midst of the '90s; their early love for kicks was unparalleled and second to none. But, what about the rest of the celebrities in said time period — what were they wearing? What did Jay-Z think was hot? What did Jordan wear before, well, Jordan Brand? Did Spike Lee always do the right thing when it came to footwear? The Backstreet Boys? Well, it wouldn't be right if we didn't tell you. So, here's a gallery of Classic Celebs Rocking Heat...

Mase has always been one of the most down-to-earth, smartest rappers, hence the UNC jersey. He's looking at Cam, like bro you know you're wrong. Air Jordans are always going to be classic. I'm looking at the range of celebs wearing them, pretty incredible.

Omg, how much taller and wider is Dirk than that full grown man? You would almost think this was an altered picture. Yes, Dirk has always had swag.

okay on the photo where Jay-z where in the "Jordan IV" ya stated "he's never used auto-tune or worn jeggings" ________________________________________ correctionnn!!!! yes I believe he never wore jeggings...but at the same time he did use(try out) auto tune at first when he was working on Blueprint 3(because at that time EVERYBODY was on that auto tune shidd and Kanye was on that 808's phase) but it totally backfired on him soo he decided if it did not work for him...lets just make a track bout it...and there you have it "DOA". side note:"Ghetto Techno" didn't prove that he was experimenting with auto tune???>>>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srxY7pFyUww ohh yeah and if complex is trynna take shots at wayne with the whole "jay-z never used auto-tune or worn jeggings" you are also taking shots at Mr.West himself because he uses autotune(idk now...but he did) and wears women clothing. and to add on that he does follow "what's hot" because look at him now wearing snapbacks n all ...he's no longer a trendsetter now(he's damn near 42 in a field where young cats are setting the trends NOW)...sorry complex :( don't suck his di#k too hard now COMPLEX!!!! ;)
