His music has helped make a generation of '90s babies. And after 20 years of being in the business, R. Kelly, "The R in R&B," is still at it with his new album, Black Panties, that drops today.
But don't get it confused, R. Kelly knows sneakers just as much as he knows how to make ridiculous love songs on the fly. In the late '90s, Kells spent a short time playing pro basketball for the USBL. And of course, let's not forget that he produced the soundtrack to Space Jam and sang at Michael Jordan's 50th birthday party. Here are some of R. Kelly's Greatest Sneaker Moments.
