Jay-Z headlined and shut down this year’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. The “best rapper alive” took a brief break from his Blueprint 3 tour to perform at one of the world’s largest music and arts festivals in Indio, California. We got a glimpse into the kicks that Jay-Z was rocking during the festival both before performing and during his performance. Prior to going on stage and bringing out his wife, Beyonce, to perform his newest single “Forever Young”, HOVA was spotted backstage with one of his favorite Nike styles, the RT1, in Dark Cinder. However when Jay did perform he decided to switch it up into the shoes that he’s been seen performing in while on his current tour, a pair of Black Radii high top sneakers. Take a look at additional pictures from the festival after the jump…
