Drake Spends $2 Million On A Pair Of Sneakers by Grammywinner: 9:37am On Jul 19, 2016 |
These celebrities would never stop amazing us with their flamboyant and extravagant lifestyle. Drake, once just a sensitive rapper with a mini-fro, is now a full-on business. His most recent album, Views , cemented his status as a king of commercially viable rap, his brand OVO has legitimate cred in the streetwear scene, and his Air Jordan collaboration is one of the brand’s most coveted capsules. Buying a pair of OVO x Air Jordan 10s on eBay could run you $600, but the versions Drake just unveiled on Instagram are, sadly, a one-of-one custom. They’re also made of solid gold. I did the math, and if he is in fact telling the truth about their weight, that means he would have had to drop about 590 million naira on these sneakers. (Based on current gold values.) That doesn’t begin to take into account how much Drake had to pay artist Matthew Senna to craft these Goldmember-ish Js. To be fair, though, these are unwearable and thus are more sculpture than sneaker. Thing is, being an A-list rapper means being the best at one-upmanship. What better way to do that than to spend an amount of money that could buy a person a mansion on a single pair of kicks?

When I was younger I'll have said this was a total waste of money. I'm older now tho and I've learnt that self investment is the best investment. Love yourself. But OP....you shouldn't have converted that shii to naira jor!!! N590,000,000! Worse yet they are not wearable. So what will he do with it? Build an altar and worship it? Tshew. My bipolar is acting up. I maintain my 1st opinion. Love yourself. 1 Like |
