The last installment saw Wale whipping 50 Cent&#8217;s head with the &#8220;Retro&#8221; Nike Air Foamposite Pro. Will Wale retain his crown over ATL&#8217;s own Big Boi today? Over the weekend, we spotted the Mr. Folarin wearing the recently released &#8220;Solar Red&#8221; Nike LeBron 8 V2 Low at the Heineken presented Roc Nation Tour In D.C. On the contrary, Big Boi was spotted rocking his own crowd at the Outside Lands Music And Arts Festival while wearing the iconic &#8220;Bordeaux&#8221; Air Jordan 7, a shoe that also released earlier this year. Which rapper rocked the best pair of sneakers this weekend?
