Heavy Rotation:<\/strong> Retro Jordans, Nike Blazers, Nike Dunks<\/p>\n

Ain\u2019t Celine but fittin\u2019 to put the D on, Big Sean went from doing talent shows to playing some of the most famous venues and universities in his home state of Michigan after inking with G.O.O.D. on his debut mixtape. Dipped in Ice Cream gear and Burn Rubber fitteds, a young Sean lived up to his \u201cGetcha Some\u201d bars by being one of the freshest newcomers on the hip hop scene. His 2008 footwear picks were both timeless and of the moment, rocking rare Jordan retros before Twitter RSVPs and casual colorways of Nike Sportswear staples.<\/p>\n Big Sean in the Nike Dunk High (photo by Cliff Skighwalker<\/a>)\n Big Sean in the Air Jordan 5 “Fire Red”\n Big Sean in the Air Jordan 13 “Flint” (photo by Cliff Skighwalker<\/a>)\n

By his second mixtape, people nationwide began to know Big Sean. Slender Sportswear silos got the boot in his footwear rotation, leaning towards the signature shoe of his big bro Yeezy and bulky retros like the Air Jordan 6, Air Jordan 8 and Air Jordan 13. Sean also got his first taste of sneaker money, with his song \u201cDesire, Want & Need\u201d appearing in an early Brandon Jennings Under Armour commercial.<\/p>\n Big Sean in the Nike Air Yeezy “Zen Grey” (photo by Cliff Skighwalker<\/a>)\n Big Sean in the Air Jordan 8 “Aqua” (photo by Roger Kisby\/Getty Images via Concrete Loop)\n
