Last week we showcased Kid Cudi's kicks, and while people agreed the Cleveland rapper had some heat, commenters kept bringing up Wale's kick-game, and how impressive it was. And, so we did some digging and compiled a gang of photos when Mr. Folarin was seen out and about rocking some grails. Not only was he the first person to have the Copper Foam's, but he also has an extensive collection of Jordans, Air Force 1s and Air Maxes. Still skeptical?
