When Nike dropped the LeBron 8 in that vaunted colorway, the game changed completely. Fast forward to 2012 and the release of the Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite &#8220;South Beach&#8221;. Many people waited in never-ending lines, camped out for days, and\/or paid?exorbitant amounts just to get their hands on a pair. It was well worth it. Rappers <strong>Wale<\/strong> and <strong>Drake<\/strong> show us just how good they look on foot. Wale coupled his kicks with a not-often-seen 1996 Michael Jordan All-Star jersey (jerseys making a comeback?), while Drake opts for a more subdued t-shirt and jeans look. Who rocked them better?
