SXSW is one of those events that brings out interesting sneaker moments every year, and Complex has compiled a list of some of the most recent celebrity sneaker sightings. The list includes everything from 50 Cent wearing the “Galaxy” Foamposite One shortly after they released, to Kanye wearing a promo sample pair of the “Zen Grey” Nike Air Yeezy right as the excitement surrounding that shoe was at its highest.
