Sheck Wes<\/strong> is one artist making sure that Harlem hip-hop stays on the radar. Even though his debut project is still in the works, the New York rapper has already inked deals with hip-hop elites\u00a0Travis Scott\u00a0and\u00a0Kanye West, having gained his credibility through the success of his tracks “Live SheckWes Die SheckWes” and\u00a0“Mo Bamba.”\u00a0<\/em>What’s even better? He has one hell of a sneaker closet.<\/p>\n

Growing up in Harlem, we caught up with 19-year old Wes to talk about his history as a baller (literally) and how hooping in New York has helped shape his personal style.<\/p>\n

Check out Sheck Wes’ My 5<\/em> sneaker rotation below, and be sure to read up on the full interview\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 4 “Doernbecher”<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Dudes be looking at me crazy, people be tryna see if my shits are fake. It’s crazy! [laughs<\/em>]”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sheck Wes: <\/b>I wear my DB 4s almost everyday. That\u2019s my work shoe, you feel me? It almost comes as a type of flex ’cause the way I wear ’em is like… I know it\u2019s a bit disrespectful to people\u2019s desires, but I just don\u2019t really believe in dead-stocking shit. I really believe you should just wear your shoe. Dudes be looking at me crazy, people be tryna see if my shits fake. It\u2019s crazy! [laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 6 Black\/Varsity Red<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sheck Wes:<\/strong>\u00a0Man, coming from New York, I grew up in the whole sneaker culture. But the sneaker that really changed it for me, to be like, “Man, I really got<\/em> this shit?”\u00a0<\/i>had to be the Varsity 6s. Those are probably my favorite Jordans. The 4s are my favorite silhouette — and like it\u2019s the best go-to shoe for me —\u00a0 but when I got those Varsity 6s? Damn.<\/p>\n

It was crazy cause I got the 6s, then I got the Breds. Then those nasty pink infrared shits came out, and then the new Breds came out. There was this time when having the original Bred 1s was such a flex.<\/p>\n

Nike PG1 “Flip The Switch”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“It was always KD first, then Paul George. Then just the whole original OKC big three. That shit changed the NBA.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sheck Wes:<\/b>\u00a0I wanna pick a basketball shoe… gotta be the PG1s. It\u2019s funny, ’cause I was in a meeting with Nike before them shits came out saying, “Yo! Those joints is trash!”\u00a0<\/i>But when they finally came out, with all the colorways, I was like, “Okay, yeah… these are underrated.”<\/p>\n

I’m actually a huge PG fan, too. There was a point where everybody used to love LeBron. But then he was the first snake, so a lot people turned their back on him. I\u2019m not gonna lie, I was one of them. I became a LeBron fan again cause he went back to Cleveland. But when Paul George was in the east playing against LeBron, I was always rooting for PG. It was always KD first, then Paul George. Then just the whole, original OKC big three. That shit changed the NBA.<\/p>\n

Off-White x Air Jordan 1 “Chicago”<\/h2>\n

\"Off-White<\/p>\n

Sheck Wes:<\/b> I’ve been fuckin’ with Nike since I was like 16. So I have strong ties with Nike Basketball. The Nike family always sends me stuff and takes care of me. The whole Off-White collection was fire. So, when those came out, I got my pair maybe 2-3 weeks early. It\u2019s crazy cause, before the DB 4s those were the shoes that I was wearing for everything. I got my own hoodie made at the Off-White campus, too. I had me a little Sheck Wes x Off-White hoodie which was super cool.<\/p>\n

KAWS x Nike Jordan<\/strong> 4<\/h2>\n

“There\u2019s a KAWS court out here. A whole KAWS park, basketball park. I played in this little Nike tournament there, it was super cool and the court was super fire.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sheck Wes:<\/b>\u00a0I don\u2019t want to sit here and cap like I know mad shit about KAWS and his art and shit like that, but I do think that his art is cool. I see it all the time, I just don\u2019t have extensive knowledge on it. He did some really cool shit with Nike before. Like in New York, this is when I was still fuckin\u2019 with Nike Basketball, he painted a whole basketball court. There\u2019s a KAWS court out here. A whole KAWS park, basketball park. I played in this little Nike tournament there, it was super cool and the court was super fire.<\/p>\n

Keep up with Wes on Instagram<\/a> and be sure to peep his new video for Mo Bamba<\/a>\u00a0out now.<\/p>\n
