There's no denying the relationship between hip hop and sneakers. The two have gone hand-in-hand since hip hop began. In today's world, the sneakers an artist wears can be as important as the music they make. For some though, the natural ability to dress fresh and create dope music come as easy as the product that's seeded to them. A few of the best dressed, from a sneaker standpoint, include Wale, Stalley, Rick Ross and Meek Mill. Not only do each of these hip hop artists have a sense of footwear fashion, they all happen to be signed to Rick Ross' MMG label.
As Maybach Music Group prepares to release their latest collaborative album, Self Made Volume 3, we decided to take a look back at some of the crew's best sneaker moments. Check out 100 of MMG's Greatest Sneaker Moments and let us know which self made artist holds the crown of sneaker king for one of the hottest labels in the music game right now.
