Drake, Usher and Macklemore have received some of the most awe-inspiring Air Jordan exclusives this year, but which artist has acquired the best from the storied brand? Check out a rundown of each artist’s gifts from Jordan Brand this year, and let us know which entertainer has received the best by participating in the voting poll\u00a0below.<\/p>\n

Macklemore<\/h1>\n

As his first 1-of-1 revealed to the public, Seattle, Washington native Macklemore was gifted this \u201cNorthwest King Salmon\u201d Jordan Melo M10 before performing at the Jordan Brand Classic in April earlier this year. The shoe draws inspiration from the salmon, a keystone species in the wildlife of the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n

Macklemore’s second eyebrow raiser came in the form of an all-green, lush suede Air Jordan 6 that he shared via social media earlier today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Usher<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Usher has been obtaining exclusives from Jordan Brand for quite some time now. The music entertainer turned heads by wearing his all-g0ld Air Jordan 11 during a NYLON magazine photo shoot and again most recently at the iHeartRadio Music Festival. He also obtained a grey-based, elephant-printed Air Jordan 11 and another all-gold shoe in the form of the Air Jordan 3 from Jordan Brand this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drake<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drake dominated the summer with various looks at his Air Jordan 3 1-of-1s. He received a few, exclusive 3s for the Drake vs. Lil Wayne tour, debuted another pair in Nick Minaj’s “Anaconda” video and broke out a gold Air Jordan 3 for the OVO Fest.<\/p>\n
