Pharrell Williams attended and performed at the Cannes Film Festival this past weekend at the Red Granite Pictures party. Pharrell posted up on stage with his MacBook Pro and some lovely ladies while playing some new songs, all in a pair of crispy Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’s’. It seems that Skateboard P may have traded his ‘South Beach’ LeBron 8′s for some Air Jordan’s as of late, as he’s been seen in nothing but Jordan’s over the past couple of months, including the last time he showed up here on a Sneaker News Celebrity Feet feature, which featured his Toro Bravo 3M Jordan V’s. Check out Pharrell and his Bordeaux VII after the jump. via: BBC/Ice Cream Blog

After making a splash this weekend at a select number of retailers in the US and across the globe, the Air Jordan VII ‘Year of the Rabbit’ was found on the feet of rapper Fabolous as he attended a “fuse Rocks the Classroom” taping at fuse studios in New York City. The Air Jordan VII ‘Year of the Rabbit’ was arguably one of the most anticipated releases of the year from Jordan heads and it definitely shows as pairs are now double the retail price if not more on online retailers. And while Fab is known for getting his Jordan’s earlier than most it seems that even he may have had to wait until the release date to get his pair of ‘Year of the Rabbit’ Jordan VII’s. Check out Fabolous in the most recent Air Jordan release after the jump, and if you were unable to cop a pair on release date, grab one now on eBay.

Mike Posner performed at Sunfest 2011 in West Palm Beach, Florida over the weekend and was seen rocking a pair of the limited Air Jordan IV ‘Thunder that was released 5 years ago in 2006.

Let us know what you think of Mike Posner’s Jordan’s and what your favorite colorway of the Air Jordan IV is after the jump.

Pharrell Williams has definitely been stepping up his Jordan game lately as he’s been spotted wearing various colors of the Air Jordan III in the past few months, and just last night he was seen with a pair of the Air Jordan V ’3M’ sneakers on that were a part of the Toro Bravo (Raging Bull) Pack of 2009.
