Not many people have more fans and famous friends than Drake. Sure, it might still just be him, 40, O and Neek standing in a huddle, but in the time since So Far Gone<\/em> he’s become the industry’s shotcaller on what’s hot and what’s not sonically. Impressive to say the least.<\/p>\n

From a fashion standpoint, Kanye and Rocky may still be the toast of the industry when it comes to aesthetics. However, being the man in music carries over to the clothing category as it’s helped Drake attain eyeballs, influence and a Jordan Brand deal.<\/p>\n

Since signing with JB in December of 2013, October’s Very Own has put their imprint on a wide array of Jordan silhouettes in a handful of colorways. While those on site know that only two “OVO” Air Jordan<\/strong> footwear collaborations have released at retail, a select few artists and athletes have been appointed ‘gang gang’ as they’ve been gifted or came up on OVO Jordans yet to release. See who’s friends with the family in the pages below.<\/p>\n

Louis Williams<\/h2>\n

Known to keep a good rotation, former 6th man and song subject Louis Williams proved to have the OVO plug on and off the court while in Toronto. Now a LA Laker and PEAK signee, we don’t see Lou break out Drizzy PEs like he once did, but in his height he may have had more than anyone outside of the Sound set rocking AJ3 and AJ10s of OVO and Drake vs. Lil Wayne tagging.<\/p>\n

2 Chainz<\/h2>\n

\"2<\/p>\n

From “No Lie” to “All Me,” Aubrey and Titty Boi have a connection most can’t match on record. Apparently there was a missed connection on the “OVO” 10s as 2 Chainz didn’t receive a pair when they first dropped. What did Drake do? He did him one better by giving him a pair of the “Kentucky Home” Air Jordan 8 OVO PE. We’re not even sure Coach Cal has these.<\/p>\n

Future<\/h2>\n

\"future-air-jordan-10-ovo\"<\/p>\n

Release a joint mixtape with Drake, get gifted his first official release with Jordan Brand. Seems like a pretty good deal, right? Such has been the case for Future. Set to embark on his third tour with The Boy, the Jumpmen might even be up to something new on the PE front this summer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lil Wayne<\/h2>\n

\"lil-wayne-air-jordan-3-drake-vs-lil-wayne-pe\"<\/p>\n

Lil Wayne could not have picked a better successor. While Weezy F still holds title as one of the all-time greats, he’s proved to be that rare artist that can also pick and prep talent of the same caliber. Drake, and of course Nicki, both fall into the aforementioned category with the former teaming up with his mentor for a tour and stellar set of stage exclusives from Jordan Brand.<\/p>\n

Amir Johnson<\/h2>\n

Now a Celtic, Amir Johnson came up as a Raptor after a straight-out-of-high-school start in Detroit. The formidable forward wore the “Black” Air Jordan 12 OVO PE on court, a rare feat that still holds KOC weight today.<\/p>\n

Fabolous<\/h2>\n

\"fabolous-air-jordan-10-ovo\"<\/p>\n

Drake jumping on the “Throw It in the Bag” Remix way back was fortuitous as Fabolous Sport was one of the first rappers gifted the “OVO” Air Jordan 10s. Drizzy even went as far as to give Fab a rare re-gram when he posted a shot in the first OVO shoe release.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Johnny Manziel<\/h2>\n

Johnny Football may be finding his way right now on and off the field (best of luck), but the talent found his way into the OVO circle very early. During his days at A&M, the QB was name dropped in “Draft Day,” used as the muse for crew exclusive tees and also was among the first to score the “OVO” Air Jordan 10s.<\/p>\n

Eric Bledsoe<\/h2>\n

Was it the Kentucky connection or a Flight Club find? Whatever the case may be (we’re betting the former), Eric Bledsoe has maybe the best Kicks On Court moment in history by wearing the “Drake vs. Lil Wayne” Air Jordan 3 PE in a game. The ultra-rare, ultra-expensive shoes break necks and banks alike, but that didn’t stop EB from getting buckets in them.<\/p>\n

A$AP Twelvyy<\/h2>\n

\"A$AP<\/p>\n

Seeing Drake live is a good bet. Not only are you watching The Boy run through his hits, you’re likely getting a preview of who’s up next. For Take Care<\/em>, his Club Paradise Tour saw the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, Waka Flocka and A$AP Rocky among others open on various legs. Supporting Flacko on stage, A$AP Twelvyy got in good with his northern neighbors and scored the still unreleased “Black” Air Jordan 12 OVO PE.<\/p>\n
