Celebrity sneakerhead and hip-hop artist Wale is known to rock some sneakers well in advance of release dates, but his latest appearance, which was for a live performance at the Heineken Red Starr Access Present Roc Nation event in Philly, wasn’t exactly of the ‘these ain’t out yet’ category. “Matching” his throwback Padres uniform and military-inspired pants was the Nike Air Max LeBron VII ‘Christ The King’ PE, a sneaker that released at House of Hoops locations last year. Despite having a connection with the prep school in Queens, NY, the Christ The King LeBron VII was widely popular for its resemblance to the Cavaliers’ wine/gold jersey colorway, and clearly Wale as a soft spot for these because he definitely dug deep in his sneaker closet for these. Check out Wale and his LeBrons after the jump and let us know what you think.

Can Fab really have that title? On the show love and hip hop his baby mom said she was his stylist. Wale been fly before he could even afford a stylist.
August 12th, 2011 at 11:50 pm
Smh Wale and his doo doo jeans, not kool bro
August 13th, 2011 at 12:36 am
nice cargo's
August 13th, 2011 at 12:52 am
Wow- it amazes me how many Wale dick riders there are, I do respect his shoe game and yes he probably would be in the top 3 celeb sneakerheads but I just find that alot of his pictures make him look grungy- is it perhaps that alot of "sneakerheads" can relate with his look? ( that it seems like an affordable ,ordinary any guy in the mall look). I like the lebrons and all but this look isn't really breaking any ground – hate on what I day all you want but can anyone really say that this is a good look , a baseball jersey and camo pants? I'm not saying it's a bad look but it's certainly forgettable IMO .
….but some of you guys are dickriders and that's a fact
August 13th, 2011 at 1:53 am

Nah Lou, his look is regular but dope in the same sense. I'm pretty sure he put that look together in a couple of minutes, not rocket science but you gotta admit he has an eye for detail…

August 14th, 2011 at 12:05 pm
nigga that baseball jersey dont match the shoes…..and the jersey looked died years ago….dont bring that shyt back….never see a jersey touch my body again unless im at an eagles game or lakers game…..i can tell you people on here just follow celebs actions….what some of yall start wearing your throwbacks again just because you seen "Wale" doing it…..create your own style man
August 14th, 2011 at 12:06 pm
shut the fuqk up moe…..you sound lame
August 14th, 2011 at 12:07 pm

August 14th, 2011 at 9:11 pm
It matches the Padres pretty good, but I guess I know what you mean
August 14th, 2011 at 9:53 pm
OoooOo I'm so scared of Mr.Internet Gangster haha
August 14th, 2011 at 11:33 pm
i agree
August 14th, 2011 at 11:58 pm
First of all Wale quit trying to bring back throwbacks they have not been in style for some years now and you are not a big enough artist yet to set trends and bring them back….Just sayin….Now those Lebron 7's are dope and I wish I could snatch those joints but I still feel that my Lebron ST V./ST. M green/gold forces are killin those……..and Wale is 26 but he looks 32,33,…..Just sayin, exfoliate that skin bro lol….And I don't care if shoeheads or dick riders do not like my comments….too bad
August 15th, 2011 at 1:19 am
Some sneakerheads are as caddy as women. All clothes this, clothes that, anybody who coordinates their shit to match their shoes should also check if their dick is attached.
August 15th, 2011 at 2:55 am
"never see a jersey touch my body again" WOW trend hopper much? your name has mr. polo in it so we know for a fact your hypebeating. niggas been wearing polo since the 80s it nothing to us people that been on the block cuz we're used to wearing it. you sound like one of those lame ass teenagers who use some corny line as their middle name on facebook. Mr Polo lmao!
August 15th, 2011 at 8:19 pm
