Macklemore Gets His Own Customized Jordans… and Selfie With MJ

While Macklemore has directly warned his fans of the pitfalls of consumer culture that high-priced kicks carry on his single 2011 “Wing$,” he sidestepped the high-mindedness over Easter weekend with a little gushing Jordan fandom.

The “Same Love” supestar was gifted a special pair of Air Jordan sneakers over the weekend, to celebrate Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ performance at the Jordan Brand Classic All-American game. Jordan Brand hooked he rapper (and, hopefully, Lewis) up with an exclusive design for Carmelo Anthony’s new Melo M10 sneaker. The Northwest King Salmon color is a hat-tip to the fishing culture in Macklemore’s native Seattle.

“I’m proud to announce the unveiling of my ‘Northwest King Salmon’ Melo’s. Courtesy of @jumpman23 and myself,” Macklemore said alongside an Instagram photo of his new kicks. “Never dreamed I’d have an opportunity like this.”

Then he took a selfie with the basketball legend.

“The greatest ever… #jordan #selfiedondada,” he wrote.
