20 Best Musician Sneaker Collaborations on the SNKRDUNK App
With the 2024 GRAMMYs happening on 4 February, in celebration of music's biggest and brightest stars, here are some of their best work in the realm of footwear.
The 66th Annual Grammy Awards is nigh, happening on 4 February. A night celebrating the best and most influential figures in music, the GRAMMYs, like most award shows, is also a de facto fashion spectacle, with footwear often stealing the spotlight.
Questlove has donned the Salehe Bembury x Crocs Pollex Clog rewriting the rules of formality; Kendrick Lamar, the Martine Rose x Nike WMNS Shox MR4; with LL Cool J even performing in the A Ma Maniére x Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG.
Since RUN-D.M.C. and adidas opened Pandora’s box in the mid 80s, since Ye released the Nike Air Yeezy, since Travis Scott and Jordan Brand flipped the Swoosh on their Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG TS SP “Dark Mocha”, the orbit between the worlds of music and sneakers have never been closer. And thus, once in awhile headed for a collision course.
