Drumma Boy<\/strong> has always walked to his own beat. Coming up in Memphis, the hit producer behind ?No Hands?, ?Put On?, ?Phone Numbers?, ?Spend It?, and much more took notes from the biggest yet humblest stars in the music industry. His sneaker pedigree has musical roots just the same, showing love to his hip-hop heroes and surroundings. See what classic kicks he’s rocking with in this installment of My 5<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Drumma Boy:<\/strong> “After years of growing up or finding yourself, you start to become more familiar with what you like. You start to build a fashionable resume for yourself. I remember wearing Shelltoes with the adidas outfit one day when I was 12. It was crazy because the feeling that outfit gave me made me really feel like I was a part of hip-hop– like I?d been inducted into the game.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Drumma Boy:<\/strong> “There?s no greater player than Michael Jordan. For him to take a price cut to bring a ring to that city as opposed to going to another team for more money was him really doing it for the passion, doing it for the love. The Air Jordans from 1 to 9 are probably my most favorite, but if I had to pick one model, it?d be the 11s. The way this shoe makes me feel and the way it looks in the mirror I love. Just classic.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Drumma Boy:<\/strong> “The Grand Prix is a shoe I?d choose to wear to be a little smoother. They often have the suede finish and they?re a little more comfortable than the Shelltoes. The Grand Prix has a little more of a soccer feel, and I think I actually got these one time playing soccer. There would be so many people wearing Shelltoes and I remember people wanted to know what they were. Kids in the hood weren?t rocking them. These were more of my prep alternative to the adidas world.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Drumma Boy:<\/strong> “Chucks are probably the cleanest, cheapest shoe– and they?re only $39.99! I can?t ever remember a pair not looking good on my foot, whether it?s low top or high top. It?s a go-to shoe for the kids and for the single parents. To be able to get this shoe for $39.99 you?ve got to be happy every time you buy it. I just bought like four pairs of the leather Chucks. With me it?s about fashion and not finance; I go by fashion and not how much the shoe costs. That?s whether it?s $300 or $30.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Drumma Boy:<\/strong> “Swizz, Ross, and the whole Reebok staff and family have been really good to me. But even amongst all that, the Iversons, the Pumps, and where Reebok came from, I?ve got to take my hat off to them. A lot of trends in hip-hop come from the street, especially in the South. I remember the Ruff Ryders\/Cash Money concert came to Memphis back in ?97 and they were all wearing Reebok Classics. It was crazy to see DMX, Birdman, and Lil Wayne all on stage in Reebok Classics. It was almost like the hood shoe. It?s like the Mercedes 500 Benz? you see that everywhere in the hood but when you got to the suburbs you see more reasonable cars like the E-Class. Rocking that one shoe and then seeing your favorite rapper rocking it made you feel like you had on the right kicks, like I?ve got on Snkrs Day for real.”<\/p>\n Pick up Drumma Boy’s The Birth of D-Boy Fresh (Deluxe Edition)<\/em> now at iTunes and keep up with him @DrummaBoyFRESH<\/a> and miFlyer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Drumma Boy has always walked to his own beat.
