However, today we witness another Footwear Faceoff between two of the more relevant rappers in the game today.<\/p>\n<p>Reports have stated that Chi-town native Kanye West has been feverishly recording his upcoming album at his hideaway in Hawaii. Yet, lately he was spotted in New York rocking a white tee, some jeans and the Jordan Spizike &#8220;Fresh Since &#8217;85&#8221;. If you recall, this sneaker, in which many of you labeled the best Spizike to release so far this year, released on February 20th, 2010. As for Fabolous, he was spotted this past weekend in Miami at the ?Heineken Inspire? event series rocking the yet-to-be-released Air Jordan 9 Retro &#8220;Citrus&#8221;. Upon showing you this sneaker, a lot of you incorporated it into your must-have list. Does Kanye get the edge for returning to the spotlight with his Spizikes or are Fabolous&#8217;s &#8220;Citrus&#8221; Air Jordan 9s too &#8216;nice&#8217;?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_81572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-81572\" style=\"width: 468px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-81572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kanye West wearing the Jordan Spizike &quot;Fresh Since &#39;85&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_81572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-81572\" style=\"width: 468px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-81572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fabolous wearing the Air Jordan 9 Retro &quot;Citrus&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/static.polldaddy.com\/p\/3259905.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/polldaddy.com\/poll\/3259905\/\">Who Rocked the Better Jordan Sneaker?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font:9px;\">(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.polldaddy.com\">polls<\/a>)<\/span><br \/>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our last Footwear Faceoff saw Toronto rapper Drake and his Air Jordan 8 Retro &#8220;Ray Allen&#8221; sneakers beating out Wale&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1225677,1203519,1225527,1380,101],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Footwear Faceoff: Kanye West vs Fabolous | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Footwear Faceoff: Kanye West vs Fabolous shoes.
