We've already established that Mark Wahlberg is a huge sneakerhead. He recently got laced with a pair of ultra rare "Duckman" Air Jordan IVs and was even spotted courtside in "Oregon Ducks" Vs.
For a non-athlete like Wahlberg to get these kinds of exclusives is very telling of his powerful connects over at Jordan Brand. Turns out, Wahlberg is friends with the Jumpman himself.
TMZ recently spotted the actor and Michael Jordan outside a Beverly Hills restaurant where the two had just finished lunch. After TMZ asked Wahlberg who picked up the bill, he responded that he did after all the free shoes he gets from MJ. Appropriately enough, Wahlberg had on a pair of "Concord" XI Lows that he was probably gifted. Free sneakers and lunch with MJ? Marky Mark has come a long way.
