With genuine DS pairs about as rare as an autographed first pressing of Infinite, the Eminem x Air Jordan IV ‘Encore’ is one of the most desired collectibles born in this age of collaboration. Em’s IVs came in a distinctive Lions-leaning blue nubuck upper just like the sample version pictured here, but instead of a matching eyelet wing, this nixed design went with the traditional polymer build. This coupled with a lighter grey on the mid- and outsoles makes for an easy spot, but then again, the photos that you’ll see after the jump below are likely as close as any of us will get to seeing these in person. Let us know if the right one was issued and stick with Sneaker News for more rare Air Jordan samples like this one revealed by former Jordan Brand head and current Nike Sportswear lead man Gentry Humphrey.

Get ready for an ‘encore’ for the Air Jordan IV in 2012, because if 2011′s releases of the Air Jordan III is any indication of what’s planned, it’ll be OG heaven. The White/Cement IV and Military Blue joints are already confirmed (and the Bred IVs could possibly be a Black Friday 2012 release), so what Retro+ or Lifestyle colorways are there in store? An Air Jordan IV ‘Year of the Dragon’? Just reciting that phrase should send chills down your spine. Let’s take a look back at one of the sickest Air Jordans of all-time – the Eminem x Air Jordan IV; just fifty pairs exist and are in the hands of Eminem’s closest individuals as well as the utmost of sneaker collectors (even Jordan Geller has a pair displayed in his ShoeZeum). We can thank Slim Shady’s relationship with Nike for this astounding sneaker, but let’s cross our fingers for a similar release in 2012 (the Knicks Spizikes came pretty close). If you’re on that collector’s tip with disposable money, cop this size 14 pair right now from lilshk54321 on eBay.

Eminem has had a long-standing relationship with Nike and Jordan Brand, resulting in some sick super-limited releases that are some of the most sought-after sneakers of our generation. Eminem’s got a thing for wearing Air Max shoes, as those are his sneaker of choice when he performs live; some of the Eminem x Nike Air Max collaborations we’ve seen included the Air Max 1, Air Max 97, and Air Max 360, although we’ve spotted him in the Air Max LTD/Wright quite often as well. Some of his Air Jordan collaborations are prized as well, like the Air Jordan IV and Air Jordan II, which fetch quite a the pretty penny in the sneaker resale market. Check out some of the Eminem x Nike/Air Jordan kicks below and be sure check out the entire video as well.

“We can get in two cars and accelerate at each other to see which one’ll swerve first.”
Looks like Converse decided to see what would happen if their iconic flagship silhouette collided with two of hip-hop’s most violent minds, and neither one flinched. The Bad Meets Evil x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High sees Royce da 5’9″ and Eminem’s collabo reunion lend its branding to the side panels and tongue for a look that’s about as busy as you can get on an all black/white sneaker. The ‘Hell: The Sequel’ EP just hit record stores and Converse will drop the dual-branded Chucks in New York and Boston tomorrow, Friday, June 17th. Click through for a closer look and let us know how these compare to Eminem’s other sneaker designs.

The Eminem x Air Jordan IV is one of the rarest Air Jordans ever produced (and yes, Jordan Geller of the ShoeZeum has a pair). If you can’t have ‘em, make ‘em, like what jwdanklefs did with this Nike Air Max 1 iD. Clearly he had the concept in mind when he chose the colorway, because the royal blue, grey, and black upper is quite similar to the Eminem IV, and adding the Jumpman Flight tongue label really sets these off. A simple iD colorway + a quick and easy add-on = one of the best ‘custom’ Air Max 1s we’ve ever seen – and the hardest part was waiting for the shoes to arrive! Check out another view of this Nike Air Max 1 iD x Air Jordan IV ‘Eminem’ custom below and let us know what you think.
