Sneakers and celebrities have always gona hand in hand but with more and more artists getting sneaker deals, things seem to be getting out of hand. Yesterday we decided to put some celebs on the chopping block when it comes to Air Jordans because it seems like everyone who is even remotely close to a celebrity is getting seeded Js. But if we step back and look at the big picture, there are a lot of celebs putting in work and when it comes down to it, they could actually be solid endorsements for Jordan Brand. Check out 10 Celebs Who Deserve to Be on Jordan Brand and let us know who you think should be getting a new deal and laced with more Js.

Pusha T
Clearly with an album like My Name Is My Name, Pusha recognizes the importance of a name. Jordan, Jordan Brand. King Push may not be widely known for his sneaker game but that doesn't mean he's a slouch. He's like the Randy Moss of the Team Jordan days, a loose cannon and a questionable choice but you won't forget his kicks.
Rihanna
She takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Oh, wait that's Timex. Well. Truth is, we don't really care what's on Rihanna's feet but we are damn sure Jordan Brand sells more of the shoes she wears. Besides, we're pretty sure that Umbrella song was actually about keeping her Jordans out of the rain.
Paul Rodriguez
First off, P-Rod has already had a Jordan shoe, technically-remember the J-Rod? Plus, having a legit skateboarder on Jordan brings it all the way back to the Bones Brigade days when guys like Lance Mountain and Tommy Guerrero were burning through original Air Jordan 1s as fast as they could snatch them off clearance tables. Perfect fit.
Ernie Johnson
Not that dude wears sneakers much, but as the de facto point guard for the Inside the NBA crew for nearly the last 20 years now, it's high time he had his own signature sneaker. All-Star status.
Teyana Taylor
Now that she's a sneaker free agent, it's all wide open. She proved with adi Originals that she can push a shoe, and that she's not averse from sporting outlandish designs. Maybe don't bring in her and Rihanna at the same time, though.
Dave Chappelle
Finally back in the public eye, Dave Chappelle mysteriously retired at the top of his game. Unless, that is, he was performing in small clubs as "Johnny Kilroy." Someone call Steve Martin.
Drake
Sure he wore fakes once, but that was a long time ago. Considering dude still holds grudges from high school-"My high school reunion might be worth an appearance/ Make everybody have to go through security clearance"-he's a lot more like Michael Jordan than a lot of the cats who wear his shoes in the League. Plus, it's time the Yeezy line got some real competition.
Kevin Hart
Kevin Hart is like a condensed version of Mars Blackmon-he's shorter AND funnier. Get him some Cazals, a chain, and the Stepson of Mars.
Victor Cruz
Hey, he's the only celeb that actually cares about sneakerheads.
Justin Timberlake
The most popular artist on the planet that doesn't have boobs. JT has been known to rock Js on the regular but it's time he really just got his time to shine (as a sneakerhead). Hell, Justin Timberlake could probably design his own shoe for Jordan Brand and it would sell millions.
