Back before every rapper out there wanted to be a sneakerhead, individual MCs were associated with one particular shoe. Snoop Dogg came on the scene rocking Chucks in classic West Coast form, Ghostface Killah proclaimed the arrival of the Wally Era, and Nelly told us all about his Air Force 1s. Four Pins ran through these rappers and more, and ranked each-apparently out of the top 2,500 rapper/shoe connections. Click through to check out the illustrations and let us know in the comments who your picks are for the other 2,495.

Most of the gentlemen featured in this edition of Celebrity Feet have been known to rock heat on the regular, so what happens when you get them all in the same room? Something of an arms-race it turns out, with each sneakerhead bringing out their big guns for the 2011 B.E.T. Hip Hop Awards this past weekend in Atlanta.

The celebrities continue to come out of the woodworks from the Labor Day Weekend, as we get a look at Nelly and his Air Jordan XI IE Low from his live performance in Las Vegas. He was accompanied by former Pussycat Dolls Nicole Scherzinger, who you might remember accompanied 50 Cent and his rare appearance in Nikes (he was wearing Pewter Foams). Nelly and kicks isn’t exactly a groundbreaking new discovery, but let’s just say with Nicole at his side, it’s definitely worth the second look. Check out Nelly, his kicks, and even more eye candy after the jump!

Hip-hop artist Nelly recently attended a charity event in Beverly Hills, CA for a celebrity poker tournament event. The event featured both celebrities and poker pros, as Nelly, Mekhi Phifer, Kevin Hart, Paul Pierce, Irv Gotti, and more played some Hold’Em against poker pros Phil Laak , Jennifer Tilly, and more. Nelly, who isn’t a newbie to the game (he won the Rolling Stone’s Celebrity Poker Tournament) showed up to the hot outdoor even wearing the Nike Air Max JR in the Grey/Volt colorway. It certainly kept him cool throughout, as he enjoyed a days worth of table games (poker and ping-pong) without breaking a sweat. Check out Nelly and the Air Max JR after the jump and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more celebrity feet coverage!

With the new year to look forward to, you can be sure to be on Sneaker News’ top coverage of celebrities and their sick kicks, so in the meantime, check out Nelly’s ‘Veterrran’s’ Day LeBrons after the jump and let us know what you think.
