This week, Drake rocks a fresh pair of Nike Air Max's while courtside at the Toronto Raptors vs. Milwaukee Bucks game, while Justin Timberlake heads to the studio in his Air Jordan kicks designed by Dior.

Justin Timberlake: Air Jordan 1 “Dior”




Dior’s creative director Kim Jones gifted Timberlake an early pair of the majestic Air Jordan 1 “Dior”s, which the artist rocked for a recent studio session. The lavish designer kicks are expected to be released sometime in April in limited quantities, for a pricey $2,000 retail.


Dreezy: Jordan 1 Mid SE Fearless Melody Ehsani




When Melody Ehsani was enlisted to design her colorful Jordan 1 Mid, she envisioned fearless creative women like Dreezy rocking her kicks. The rapper confidently posted up with an icy watch, which overshadows the pair of watch faces that replace the lace locks on both sneakers.


Drake: Nike Air Max ‘95 Lux Supreme Triple Black




Drizzy is getting a ton of use out of his black Supreme Air Maxes lately, as he continues to favor the luxury Italian leather. The 6 God pulled up to Scotiabank Arena to see his Toronto Raptors take on the Milwaukee Bucks, but his squad ended up catching the tough loss.


Ciara: Nike Air Force 1 Jester XX




It’s not every day we get to see Ciara donning some heat on her feet. CiCi posed for a photoshoot in Nike’s whimsical spin on their AF 1 classic. The subdued kicks took a backseat to her extended braids, which stole the show by touching the ground and are longer than the size of an average teenager.


Lil Durk: Dior B22 Sneakers




Durkio claims he doesn’t even try when he dresses these days, but how is he going to explain being draped in thousands of dollars worth of Dior here? The OTF leader’s comfy B22 sneakers complete his look, as the rubber outsole and welded construction make a long day on the feet seem light.


Yo Gotti: PUMA RS-X3




Yo Gotti became a PUMA ambassador back in 2017, and the roster has grown to include the late Nipsey Hussle and, most recently, J. Cole. Gotti represented for the brand this week in a pair of the sleek RS-X3 model. The bulky mesh silhouette provides performance while maintaining a sense of style.


Lil Baby: Air Jordan 13 “Chinese New Year”




Prior to the release of his highly anticipated My Turn sophomore album, Lil Baby spent some quality time with one of his kids this week. Baby brought out the Chinese New Year 13s to go with his Dior outfit, while his child was laced in Gucci from head-to-toe.


Travis Scott: Nike Dunk SB “Paris”




It was the first-ever Travis Scott bobblehead night at the Toyota Center for the Houston Rockets' matchup with the New York Knicks earlier this week, and the star's footwear definitely didn’t disappoint. Scott went into the vault and brought out the rarest of Dunks, which cost you about the price of a Range Rover over on Stock X.


Kylie Jenner: Travis Scott x Dunk Low "Cactus Jack"




A newly blonde Kylie Jenner let her hair down on her private jet in a pair of Travis Scott's latest Nike SB Dunk’s. Is this a hint that the former power couple has straightened things out and is finally back together?


JT of City Girls: Fear of God x Nike “Oatmeal”




Fear of God designer Jerry Lorenzo fuses the worlds of performance and luxury streetwear through his innovative collaborations with Nike. Rapper JT fashionably stepped out of her house looking real cozy in a pair of the Oatmeal-flavored basketball kicks this week.


Layton Greene: Air Jordan 12 “Game Royal”




After taking a minor break from music, Layton Greene is back in the studio cooking up some new tunes. The 21-year-old is currently feeling the blues, as she donned a navy tie-dye jumpsuit that was complemented by a pair of the royal Air Jordan 12’s.


Roddy Ricch: Air Jordan 11 “Vast Grey” (slide two)




While Roddy Ricch has been holding down the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 thanks to “The Box,” he’s also been upgrading his closet. The Compton native was photographed near his Bentley Truck in a pair of women’s sparkling Air Jordan 11’s, which nicely matched the metallic silver pinstripes of his throwback Toronto Raptors’ Vince Carter jersey.
