In 2018, ASAP Rocky finally debuted his signature sneaker with Under Armour. However, Rocky still keeps his sneaker rotation full with different brands including designer sneakers from Dior and Prada. For Flacko, it’s still about what he wears but more so about how he wears it.

Drake may not have rocked the best shoes in 2018, but he sure made the most noise on the footwear front. In the beginning of the year, Drake made the headlines as it was rumored that he would move from Jordan to adidas. Well, we know how that went. At the end of the year, “Checks over stripes” proved to be the most polarzing and impactful bar when considering sneaker culture as we know it, with lines referencing Virgil and diminishing 350s also proving pull.
