The unofficial poster boy for adidas Originals x Jeremy Scott’s Wings has been lacing up in only the trillest kicks since we helped introduce him to the world. Rocky stayed true to his word, the clothes are getting weirder but the sneakers are the only thing you can imitate from the style.

When you think back to when MTV Cribs was major, you don’t remember too many people really stunting with the sneakers like Big Boi. Fast Forward a decade and not much has changed, half of the duo that is Outkast still breaks out the grails on a daily basis.

Tigger isn’t just that dude who instigated your favorite rapper’s freestyles on The Basement, he's also been stacking kicks for decades. Check out his Instagram to get a look at some craziness from the past and the new drops that he still seems to get before all of us.

Bun B sets the standards of what is hot or not, before hypebeasts get a chance to ruin something or the rest of the e-streets get a chance to co-sign a shoe we were all on the fence about, Bun B already had them. Few sneaker enthusiasts have the type of weaponry as the south’s favorite son and he never had to brag about it. If you want to see how it is done, he is definitely worth a follow on Instagram.

A lot of people feel a lot of different ways about C Breezy but we can all agree that the dude is deep into this thing of ours. His Jordan collection is crazy, he gets stuff months in advance, and he still incorporates the basics into the everyday rotation.

We hear the people talking, after our 25 Biggest Celebrity Sneakerheads list earlier this year, it was obvious that Curren$y’s name belongs up in the ranks. His Instagram is enough proof for us to co-sign, between all the whips and kicks — my God.

Besides helping build-up your favorite emcee’s debut album, Clark is known to be a bit of a sneaker connoisseur. His sneaker room looks like your iPod—it would take you years to get through it all. Kent is nice enough to throw up pictures of the classics and the one-of-ones we bore our chicks to death talking about needing every day. Salute to an undisputed living legend.

Before you hit the comments section with the remark about Fab rocking fakes you may want to go through his Instagram and see what’s really good with the Brooklyn-native’s resume.

Few rappers have a sneaker collection worth more than your life, Fat Joe is that dude. If licking a pair of clean white-on-whites on MTV Cribs wasn’t enough you might want to check out his feed of throwback heat and shoes you’re still waiting weeks to get — well connected.

Jim Jones is forever ballin’, posted up in the latest Jordans and Nikes—one look at his Instagram profile and it’s obvious that the Diplomats general is always connected to the culture.

Very few wanna spar with Budden, lyrically or with the custom kicks. Peep his Instagram and you’ll catch him wearing some Foams that never hit the streets on a weekly basis—royalty checks well spent.

JR should be credited for a lot of the Knicks’ early season success and he has already been a favorite among the sneaker community for his relentless attack of open 30-foot three balls and swapping out new sneakers on a nightly basis. He also rides dirty on the team bus, hitting us up with looks at his favorite off the court sneakers. We’re still waiting on someone to make him some custom Kold Game kicks. Nike?

The people’s champ — Cudi seems so much more every day than most other celebrities from his Instagram but his sneaker rotation still trumps yours and ours. The thing is they are usually incorporated in a regular photo, we’re afraid to see what would happen when he really started stunting on people. You can’t fathom the wizardry.

You still hate LeBron? Get over it. In 2012 LeBron won back America and he didn’t do it as some elaborate PR plan. He simply did the same thing he did that won us all over the first time — played like every game was his last and looked like he was having a lot of fun doing it. His Instagram showed us someone who was having a blast with his teammates and family en route to winning hardware, rings, and gold medals. He gave us some pretty dope previews of the sneakers that took him to those places. How cool would it have been if Mike had the technology to do the same?

Nate’s goal to be the on court sneaker MVP could be a reality but aside from killing it in all the Bulls-influenced options, his off the floor sampling is just as impressive. Hit up Robinson’s Instagram feed and it ain’t hard to tell that dude has been messing with sneakers for a minute with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

The Pacers finally got their gold swagger back and players like Paul George are a big reason why. Besides rocking a solid rotation of heat on the hardwood, PG24 has been killing consistently off the court too. In a city that was owned by Peyton Manning for over a decade it’s cool seeing a role model skateboarding in Foams or relaxing in Yeezy IIs — Naptown no longer.

Have you seen this guy’s Instagram? Basically it looks like P. Rod is making money, having fun, and getting laced with some of the illest sneakers along the way. Yeah, he isn’t the only athlete to do that but when do you see his name under fire on ESPN? Skaters – 1, Ballers – 0.

Since Nike resurrected Anfernee’s sneaker legacy with hybrids, new colorways, and even a new signature shoe, Penny has taken to Instagram to give us a preview at some of the things that are in the works and that may be hitting retail shelves in the near future. Now when can we expect the Nike Air Ups to make their return, sir?

As if you really needed an excuse to follow Miss IDAGF herself. Besides the obvious perks of following Rihanna, you really can’t deny that in terms of female celebrities she rotates a nice assortment of sneakers and she makes them look pretty damn good.

Sneakers have always been important in hip-hop culture but it seems like a lot of new rappers just mess with them because it’s a trend — like throwbacks in ’01. Stalley doesn’t exactly fall under that, ever since his days on the court, sneakers have been a big part of his image. Check the Instagram, an impressive mix of old school and new school — just like homie's skills on the mic.

The first lady of G.O.O.D. Music and every sneakerhead’s dream woman was doing it and doing it well before anyone else. A trip through Taylor’s Instagram will prove that she can challenge the best of us with her diverse collection and well, she looks better in a pair of hi-tops and sweats—it’s just different.

Theophilus’ Brooklyn roots are evident in his sense of style and his sneaker game might ring out just as loud as his music. Just a few years into the mix and he is already getting connected with Yeezys and Jordans early, but what impressed us most is the fact that he could bring out the OG Is like it was nothing and hit us with the humble brag on Instagram — a real fan of sneaker culture.

When he isn’t salsa dancing in the end zone and helping you win your Fantasy Football League, Cruz is steadily getting catered with customs and laced in exclusive kicks. We guess being one of NYC’s best athletes has a few perks.

If you aren’t already following Wale you must be a newbie to the sneaker channel — few celebrities can match Wale’s day-to-day heat and he knows how to cater to the sneaker blogs by always showing off his latest and greatest pick-ups via Instagram. The real question is does the weed carrier double as photographer? Someone needs a raise, homie.
