Eminem's sneaker closet is as complex as his multi-syllabic and inner rhyme schemes. The focus of Em's career, undoubtedly, has been on his ability to out-rhyme and shock the hip-hop industry, but we've always had our eyes on what's on his feet.
He's been gifted the opportunity to design Air Max Bursts and Air Jordans in the past, but Eminem has worn his fair share of sneaker heat, too. He's had an undying infatuation for Air Max LTDs and Air Max Wrights, but he's also worn O.G. Jordans, and as he says himself, "Being a celebrity has one perk that I'm not ashamed to name: limited-edition sneakers."
Eminem's latest album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, released today, and to pay tribute to his love for footwear, we've chronicled the best sneakers we've seen Eminem rock. As you bump his new tunes, take a look through Eminem's Best Sneaker Moments of All Time.
