If you haven’t heard of Detroit’s Big Sean, you will very soon. As as recent signee to Kanye’s GOOD Music label and the Island\/Def Jam conglomerate, you know the kid is for real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His single “Getcha Some” and his latest mixtape banger, UKNOWBIGSEAN, hosted by another “5 Minutes With” alum, DJ Mick Boogie, are already blowing up spots across the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In between the promo tours and video shoots, we got a chance to catch up with the young emcee and talk about sneakers. Shouts to AZ and the Burn Rubber crew for all their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name:<\/strong> My name is Big Sean. Reppin GOOD Music\/Island Def Jam. FF 2 DEF!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where you represent:<\/strong> Detroit! All day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shoe that got you hooked to the game:<\/strong> Jordans (early ones only though), Nikes, etc. I’m loving the Yeezy’s right now too. Thank God they sent them to me because they overcharge like a bitch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What?s on your feet right now:<\/strong> House shoes, lol. But I rock the Jordan 7’s, 6’s, 4’s, 8’s, 9’s (olive & black), 13’s, (Flint Blue), 11’s (Space Jams), and the Yeezy’s. Them Ken Griffey’s are on some other shit too. I remember I used to love those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last pair(s) you purchased:<\/strong> The 7’s. The Raptor colorway ones. Came out in like ’02 or ’03. Had to go back and cop those, lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pair are you still looking for:<\/strong> I want the Ray Allen 8’s but not paying that much for them lol. I like those a lot though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Top 3 Sneakers of All-Time:<\/strong> Red\/Black 6’s (OG), Aqua 8’s (OG), cant decide for the 3rd one. That’s a tough ass question, lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amount of pairs you own:<\/strong> Probably about 30 pair of shoes. Nothin’ too serious. I got some shit though lol. Don’t test me, lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hottest sneaker trend right now:<\/strong> I think straps are really popular right now…tucking the bottom of your jeans behind the tongue of the shoe. Another is wearing them real loose, if not tied at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most tired sneaker trend right now:<\/strong> Over-accessorizing your shoes…different laces, lace locks, adding designs, paint, etc. All that shit is just played to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you weren?t a rapper you would probably be a…<\/strong>Student trying to get my life together…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Favorite spots to shop at:<\/strong> Bape, BBC\/Ice Cream, Flight Club, Burn Rubber, Leaders, Undefeated, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
