Music-wise, hip-hop artists are regulars in our My 5 column, so what’s an R&B/soul singer doing here? Mateo, the latest signee to Interscope records and Krucial Noise (owned by Kerry “Krucial” Brothers — Grammy-award winning producer for famed artist Alicia Keys), is an avid fan of sneakers and indie streetwear fashion. We recently caught up with the Cincinnati native to find out which five shoes make up his current rotation. Mateo mixes classic, iconic Converse and Reebok silhouettes with some of the newest, up-to-date creations from Jordan Brand. Check out Mateo’s My 5 blend below.
Converse Chuck Taylor
Mateo: “I love vintage Chucks. I have several pair that I literally rock all of the time. I love those. I have a grey pair and a yellow pair that I wear a lot.”
