We've seen a colossal spike in "sneakerheads" in recent years and it seems like Jordans are the popular choice of footwear. While we do love the Jumpman, there are some people who aren't convincing us and need to stop before they ruin J's for everyone. Being a sneakerhead is cool but being yourself is even cooler. It's okay if you're not about that life because we can tell you're not. We can spot fake/lame sneakerheads just as quickly, if not quicker, than we can spot fake Jordans. With that said, check out the 10 Celebrities That Should Be Banned From Wearing Jordans.*

Drake
I love Drizzy and all but seeing him jump into that pool in Motorboat Jones stung a little. He stunted on [most] of us. Maybe this isn't enough to get banned for but it definitely deserves a time out. Rocking fake Jordans on the other hand (remember those purple V's?)... that calls for heavier repercussions. Get it together, Champagne Papi.
Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne fell all the way off. Often seen rocking GR's, he doesn't exactly bring heat to the table. He is corny and hops on whatever bandwagon is poppin'. He's always switching teams and is not welcome at NBA games. Hilarious. Stick to the snowboard boots.
Mariah Carey
She tried to make jersey dresses a thing. And Jordan heels.
Kim Kardashian
Yeezy taught her. He scrapped Kim's entire wardrobe and put her on. The Kanye/boyfriend cosign is cool and all but at the end of the day she's just another hypebeast. On top of that, the whole family's hopping on—Kendall wore Kris Jenner's Jordans in a recent episode of KUWTK. And let's not forget their Skechers endorsements. All the cosigns in the world won't get your sneaker cred up after that.
Macklemore
He questioned his sexuality because he could draw a little...? What? This, and his outfits make me question him. Also, it's safe to assume he didn't pick these up at the thrift shop. (Is that a Laney High School band uniform tho?)
Hulk Hogan
This is just weird. Why is this happening?
Justin Bieber
The Biebs has a cult following so strong that I don't dare say his name on Twitter for fear that his loyal followers will attack my mentions. The fact that he has a "swag coach" is grounds to ban him from sporting Jumpmans. Stop it 5.
Amanda Bynes
It's no question that Amanda Bynes has lost her mind. She's made questionable decisions with her public image and seeing her in Playoff VIII's was equally as weird. She needs help.
Marcus Jordan
It's a given that the son of our beloved Michael Jordan would have access to any and every pair of kicks his heart desired. It's impossible to live up to his father's legacy but how can the offspring of greatness fall so short? Additionally, his twitpic debacle a few months ago must have had Mr. J fuming. Don't embarrass your pops like that, Marcus.
Miley Cyrus
That Jordan "dress" she wore is an abomination to the Jumpman and an unforgivable display of blasphemy. She's not about that life and we can tell. Somewhere in America... Michael Jordan is shaking his head.
