From playing baseball at Duke to rapping sold out shows across the country, Mike Stud<\/strong> has covered the bases. Fulfilling both sides of Drake’s “We want to be them and they want to be us” statement about artists and athletes, this hip-hop riser earned All-American honors as a Blue Devil freshman before undergoing Tommy John surgery. As an escape from the injury, Mike Stud<\/a> started rapping as a joke, but the time-killer has now turned into an booming career. Collaborating with names such as French Montana<\/em>, the Rhode Island native recently released his second studio album, Closer<\/strong>, and is currently finishing up The Summer Stud Tour<\/strong>. Throughout the string of summer shows, he has kept his sneaker rotation tight with straight Air Jordans. To see Mike Stud’s current kicks on tour, click through the following pages in our latest installment of My 5<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 11 “Concord”<\/h2>\n

Mike Stud:<\/strong> \u201cThe \u201cConcords\u201d are probably my favorite sneaker. I wore them last night. I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t necessarily have a reason as far as why I love them, but if I had to pick a favorite it\u2019d be the 11s.\u201d<\/p>\n photo by Burnside Images<\/a>\n

Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”<\/h2>\n

Mike Stud:<\/strong> “Space Jams. You\u2019ll definitely hear me leaning towards the 11s. I\u2019m not a flashy dresser, so I like that there\u2019s a little bit of flash in these with the patent leather. There\u2019s just that certain thing about the design of the 11s that I f*ck with.”<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 1 Mid Black\/Nightshade<\/h2>\n

Mike Stud:<\/strong> “These have like the satin, kind of nylon feel. Love these. I wore these a lot already. I just haven\u2019t seen people with them really. Like anything else, you don\u2019t want to have something that everyone else has. I look for that. Like I said, I\u2019m not really a flashy dresser, so sneakers and hats are kind of where I like to accessorize and find things that aren\u2019t necessarily everywhere you look. They\u2019re comfortable as f*ck too.”<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 5 “3Lab5” Black\/Infrared<\/h2>\n

Mike Stud:<\/strong> “The 3Lab5s. I think I got these in New York City at Flight Club. I went in and wasn\u2019t really expecting anything, but I saw these. I hadn\u2019t really seen them up-close in person, but I love these, they have that different texture. Plus, the sneakers I like to wear on tour is sh*t that I feel looks good on stage. Usually I\u2019ll wear mids or highs on stage, I think it looks better. So that\u2019s definitely a factor in it.”<\/p>\n
