This feature is a part of Complex's J. Cole week.

We’re halfway through J. Cole week here at Complex, and the next feature we built with Cole for was his Top 10 Sneakers of All-Time. If you’ve noticed, Jermaine has steadily been name-dropping Js, and rocking them during shows. Oh, and after those first week numbers we’re hearing, expect the North Carolinian’s closet to look a lot more like Mike’s. Kick off Cole’s top 10 list that includes Jordans, Griffeys and other classics.

    ^^Exactly. It all about the memories and stories with sneakers. And the fact that Cole doesn't claim to be into sneaks but he has memories with them is cool to me. Unlike, Big Sean and his terrible ass top sneakers list on here. Dude sounded like the biggest phony smh
