Apparently, if you’re from the “Ville,” then you like sneakers. We say this because Hyattsville, Maryland native Wale has been sneaker name-dropping in verses since before he became well-known at all. J. Cole, who is from Fayetteville, North Carolina and is customarily considered to be in Wale’s class/crop of up-and-coming rap artists, finally dropped his freshman album yesterday- Cole World: The Sideline Story. He too is known for being a sneaker enthusiast; and, as part of celebrating the long-awaited drop of said album, Complex was able to sit down with J. Cole and discover what his top ten favorite sneakers of all time are. As one would imagine, among these are the royal blue Penny Foams and more than just one Air Jordan XI. Follow the link after the jump to find out the rest of his top 10 and the order.
