Jay-Z continues to show his support for the Reebok return. Last time around it was the the then just-released Reebok Kamikaze II, and this time around he’s skipping ahead in the release date timeline with a pair of the Reebok Shaq Attaq. This quick paparrazi snap unfortunately obscures the sneakers to a good degree, but there’s no doubt given the forefoot view that that is indeed said Shaq model on feet. Stay tuned to see if Jay-Z keeps his Reebok trend going and let us know in the comments if you’re excited for the Shaq Attaq return.

Continue reading for all the photos and stay tuned to see which other celebs pop up in the much buzzed about retro.

If Kanye West wears it, does that guarantee that Jay-Z will be spotted in it somewhere down the line? In the world of sneakers that sort of seems to be the case, as Jigga’s footwear has very much reflected Ye’s in recent memory. This time around it’s the Nike Air Force 180 Mid that’s on feet for Jay, a pair that has been popping up on the feet of Mr. West for the past month or two. Continue reading to get all the photos of Jay-Z wearing the Nike Air Force 180 Mid and give us your thoughts on the comments about how much of an effect the cosign of these two dudes can really have on a sneaker.

Jay-Z in Reeboks? Long before he stayed in Yeezys, LeBrons, and the like, that wasn’t such an uncommon site. You’ll remember that just ten years ago Jay-Z was a Reebok company man thanks to his wildly popular S. Carter collection (admit it, you bought a pair). For whatever reason, he’s back on the bandwagon, spotted here in the just released Reebok Kamikaze II. The Shawn Kemp pair isn’t too far away from the Brooklyn Nets color combo, so maybe we’ll even see them courtside sometime soon. Continue reading for the shots of Jay-Z in the Reebok Kamikaze II and stay tuned to see if Jigga continues to diversify in 2013.

Was Jigga not feeling in the holiday spirit? We’re sure he’s got the kind of pull to get a pair like the Nike KD V ‘Christmas’ a little early but he opted not to, instead showing up for a little bit of Christmas Eve shopping with the ‘DMV’ colorway on feet. Jay-Z has been pretty partial to LeBron’s line of footwear when it comes to Nike Basketball stuff, with this sighting marking one of the few times he’s branched out from that category. Get a better look at him and Beyonce out in NYC and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Last night was a good one for Jay-Z, as he sat courtside with wife Beyonce and watched his Brooklyn Nets trump the New York Knicks in the first meet up between the teams, jumping their crosstown rivals to become the second best team in the East. Many a watchful eye noticed that Jigga was rocking the Air Jordan IV ‘Bred’ throughout, a bit of a throwback moment if you remember that classic Sean Carter photo of him squatting in the same sneaker, dookie ropes hanging off his neck. Click through to check Jay-Z in this Air Jordan IV and let us know if you approve of his courtside fit in the comments.

The King of Brooklyn took a seat on a court-side throne with wife Beyonce during last night’s season-opener between his New Jersey Nets and the visiting Toronto Raptors. He appeared in a pair of Air Jordan 1 customs called ‘Brooklyn Zoo’, designed by sneaker customizer PMK; we previewed the luxurious custom-made Jays in early October, but here we have a full gallery of them ‘on-fee-t’ on Jay-Z himself. Click below for a gallery and let us know what you think of the growing sneaker custom game now grabbing the attention of celebs like Jay-Z!

Most of us would no doubt go back and snap up plenty of old grails in terms of sneakers if we ever made it to the financial level that Jay-Z is currently at. Jigga has other things to worry about at the moment though, like that epic string of Barclays Center concerts and keeping Beyonce and Baby Blue happy. So hopefully you can forgive him for varsity red on his Air Jordan VI’s in this epic shot, taken atop the roof of 560 State St. (you remember that Empire State of Mind lyric right?) with an incredible view of the Brooklyn Nets’ new home. Click through for the full shot and stay tuned to see if Jay rocks more J’s as the Barclays Opening bonanza continues.
