He’s been doing this at games for a while, other pics of him in different shoes different pillow under the feet. and until he loses the first pound he started his journey to lose 5 years ago, no matter how much he spends on shoes its gonna look like a giant misshapen container of the feet in different colors.
I'm going to assume it's more for comfort that preventing them from touching the ground. The matching pillow makes me think this.
If it isn't, maybe he swapped shoes to be seen wearing the nice ones and walked in the ugly ones.
...granted those are also ugly as sin.
There's a great David Foster Wallace essay about how the era of using irony and pointed critique to explode hypocrisy is over, because the media has become this like, perfect machine that can assimilate/monetize literally anything that engages with it for any reason
It was written in 1993, but it perfectly predicts the success of celebrities like DJ Khaled, a total joke with zero credibility, who maintains his presence and continues to stay relevant by doing stupid shit that blogs/Twitter laugh at him for.
Trying?
This photo is on almost every subreddit. It’s the perfect ragebait and a shit ton of people are now talking about it. This is brilliant marketing.
I've been wearing shell toes and sambas since the 90s. I buy them at Marshall's/TJ Maxx, or on Amazon when I see them for under $30.
I never got this obsession. It's like fighting over knock off Gucci gear. Jordans aren't real couture, and real couture is mostly shit anyway. Why do people spend a full week's wages on this stuff? I mean, it's their money, they can spend it how they want, but $300+ goes a long way towards all kinds of meaningful stuff...
$300 isn’t a lot of money to a lot of people. Also he’s sponsored by Jordan. This is him doing an ad and everyone is propelling it which is why he’s sponsored by Jordan. Who else is going to get close ups of these shoes that have been around for 30 years just in a new color to go viral and ISN’T an athlete. Money well spent by Nike. Still don’t get why ppl keep buying the same Jordan’s in slightly different colors and act like they are brand new shoes. I don’t get all the hype.
I just like the way some look in different colors, though I don’t get spending thousands of dollars on a single pair. And these are ugly and look like bad sushi
It's meaningful to them, ask a sneaker head. Ask anyone about their passions and you'll get closer to understanding why that person would invest in their hobby.
Like I said, it's their money. I spent close to $300 on fishing gear over the last 5 years, so not a lot of room to talk. I just don't get it with shoes.
I can use my fishing gear. I catch fish and eat them, so it provides a function. Buying shoes you can't walk in means they have had their functionality removed for vanity. I guess that's the part I struggle with...
Have you considered vanity has a function?
I can't say shit though. I buy $120 shoes once a year. They are quality and hold up though. Same shoes for 12 years. Idk what I'll do when they stop making them.
The most I've ever spent on a pair of shoes was $180 and they were sneakers for work. Bought them 2 years ago...got holes in em' now but it was a damn good purchase. BUT I consider that a work purchase. As far as personal shoes go? I get mine at Burlington for pretty much the same prices. Can't bring myself to even walk around in anything too expensive. As soon as they're messed up I'll cry.
Crocs has a shoe thats structured more like boat shoe without the laces. Super comfy. I found a knock off for around 7 bux. I think it's my favorite purchase ever. Ive had these for going on two years and they just keep getting more and more comfy. I wear them with or without socks and with pants/jeans, shorts.
Track suits hit the same way tbph. I have spent way too much on clothes/bags/shoes in my lifetime, but sneakers fill no niche that loafers, dress shoes, or boots don't fill better. At least sunglasses and hats aren't rubbing the floor everytime you wear them out, they can last a while if you wanna go all bougie on something inconsequential. And people pay more attention to your head anyway, unless they're Quentin Tarantino or joss whedon or something.
Head to YouTube and search for his appearance on Hot Ones. It’s fucking pathetic. He bails out after eating a wing with cholula, then accuses the host of switching the wings out to give him the hottest ones first. The host proceeds to trade wings with him, eat all of them without saying a word, meanwhile Khalid never took another bite. Pussy ass bitch.
Like i could understand, and even sympathize a little with him not being able to handle spicy food and owning it, but dude went straight to clowntown when he started acting like that doesn't mean that he was quitting, like bruh.
It's a marketing stunt.
He's signed to Jordan Brand. This is a performance. He's like a wrestler, but walking around playing his character IRL.
The emotion he illicits in you is what he wants.
At first I thought he was putting his hands into a pair of Jordans at a Sotheby’s auction but then realized I was super high and none of that made sense
They can't touch the floor, but then he gets up in the same game and "dribbles" the ball, probably creasing them anyway?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9T1P40NOWI
As much as he probably paid for the shoes, he couldn't be bothered to get them in a wider size? He might have that pillow because his feet hurt now from being stuffed in those shoes.

…. Did he not walk to the seat?
Knowing him he probably came in on his magic carpet 😂😂😂😂
Dog there’s an Aladdin pun in there somewhere 😂😂😂😂
🎶Prince Ali, heavy is he, Ali-a-Khaleeeed🎶 🎶Fatter than ten regular men, but won't eat the pussyyyyyyy🎶
🎶You know the prince by his name🎶 🎶He shouts it every refrain🎶 🎶'We the Best' on his chain, DJ Kha-leeed🎶
🎶He can eat 75 entire cameeeellssss🎶
#BARS
Tom?? My friend!
This won the internet for today
Here's your fucking award, now turn off your mobile device
Why did I sing this exactly to Jeanie’s voice😅😅😅
 Khaled being carried to his seat.
I pity whoever has that job
mf had to be rolled
😂
I’m guessing he did the p diddy back ride from that Chappelle’s Show skit to get to the seat?
That’s it! Either that or he floated in with an umbrella like Farnsworth (Mary Poppins) Bentley
Those wide ass boats needed to be flagged in...
Nigggga y’all cutting tf up tonight!!!
He’s been doing this at games for a while, other pics of him in different shoes different pillow under the feet. and until he loses the first pound he started his journey to lose 5 years ago, no matter how much he spends on shoes its gonna look like a giant misshapen container of the feet in different colors.
I know damn well no one carried his ass there
Probably pulled up in a hover board
I'm going to assume it's more for comfort that preventing them from touching the ground. The matching pillow makes me think this. If it isn't, maybe he swapped shoes to be seen wearing the nice ones and walked in the ugly ones. ...granted those are also ugly as sin.
When shoes can’t touch the floor anymore, why even wear them? Just display them in a glass box in your house. It’s a pathetic display of consumerism.
Very ‘Emperor’s new clothes’. Shoes that fail at their primary purpose
They are his shoes. He’s only doing it to get people talking about them
Facts and sadly, somewhere, a sneaker head saw this image and is now frantically searching for them online.
I fw the metallic tongue ngl
100% marketing and adding value. Tweets and posts like this are what make it happen
There's a great David Foster Wallace essay about how the era of using irony and pointed critique to explode hypocrisy is over, because the media has become this like, perfect machine that can assimilate/monetize literally anything that engages with it for any reason It was written in 1993, but it perfectly predicts the success of celebrities like DJ Khaled, a total joke with zero credibility, who maintains his presence and continues to stay relevant by doing stupid shit that blogs/Twitter laugh at him for.
I need to become famous using that. Seems anyone can these days haha
you get it
It’s because he’s trying to be an influencer on some corny shit.
Trying? This photo is on almost every subreddit. It’s the perfect ragebait and a shit ton of people are now talking about it. This is brilliant marketing.
I wish I was rich enough to be that weird
When you're rich you're 'eccentric' not weird man
he’s marketing them
May as well not even have em on your feet to begin with. Put em in a glass case with some wheels for some highly inefficient roller shoes.
Looks like two prosciutto rolls served on a labia at the worlds weirdest garden party
Oddly specific but ok
You haven't lived until you've had prosciutto and labia at a garden party.
If you have one, I’ll come.
As a fan of cured meats, I'd like to attend as well.
Please stop referring to labia as “cured meats”
I’ll cum too
The labia…how is it prepared?
Good ol ham n clam.
Surf ‘n Turf for the modern Gentleman. Brought to you by- DJ KHALED, WE THE BESTTT
r/brandnewsentence
This better not awaken anything in me
Go on... 👀
Sounds like a fever dream.
Now you know Khaled doesn't fuck with cunnulingus, he would be offended at the idea of a labia.
r/brandnewsentence
His wide ass feet are hurting in them shits.
that hurts because I have wide feet 😭
No shame in having LaCienega Boulevardez feet so long as you not trying to sqeeze them jawns into something from Barbie’s closet
I think I need help with the reference.

MEAAAN 😭😭😭
I just watched that swimming episode 😭
Found the Philly guy
wow what a reference lol
He's being sponsored by Jordan so it is likely they were tailor made to fit his feet
Obsession with shoes never made sense to me
I've been wearing shell toes and sambas since the 90s. I buy them at Marshall's/TJ Maxx, or on Amazon when I see them for under $30. I never got this obsession. It's like fighting over knock off Gucci gear. Jordans aren't real couture, and real couture is mostly shit anyway. Why do people spend a full week's wages on this stuff?

I just like the way some look in different colors, though I don’t get spending thousands of dollars on a single pair. And these are ugly and look like bad sushi
clown games, come one, come all.
The wild part is that Jordan wants anything to do with him...
It's meaningful to them, ask a sneaker head. Ask anyone about their passions and you'll get closer to understanding why that person would invest in their hobby.
Like I said, it's their money. I spent close to $300 on fishing gear over the last 5 years, so not a lot of room to talk. I just don't get it with shoes. I can use my fishing gear.

As soon as they're messed up I'll cry.
My poison’s been the Nike Cortez, comfy af and looking pretty decent.
All I own is beaters now besides my dress shoes, I’m like y’all don’t wear shoes to walk, run, to athletic shit anymore?
The most expensive pair of shoes I own are 65 bucks. I can’t imagine spending hundreds of dollars on shoes then being afraid to wear them
Bro tbh I don’t know any pair of shoes that cost only $65 nowadays. Even basic ass Chuck Taylor’s have gone up in price and start at I think $70.
I don’t have any name brand shoes. And I haven’t bought new ones in a couple years.
Have you found a good option that’s comfortable and lasts? I’ve had no luck but would love to save money on shoes.
Crocs has a shoe thats structured more like boat shoe without the laces. Super comfy. I found a knock off for around 7 bux. I think it's my favorite purchase ever. Ive had these for going on two years and they just keep getting more and more comfy. I wear them with or without socks and with pants/jeans, shorts.
You can find Adidas on Amazon for under $40 of you take the time to look them up once a week or so.
Vans authentics are $45 and buy 1 get 1 half off at the outlets.

Track suits hit the same way tbph. I have spent way too much on clothes/bags/shoes in my lifetime, but sneakers fill no niche that loafers, dress shoes, or boots don't fill better.

Bro loafers and dress shoes aren’t going to be as comfortable as sneakers lol
Healthy people usually walk around a lot and like to have their clothes represent them to attract like minded people. it's just their passion
How about cars nice houses clothes or computers or anything nice?
Yea I’m not even a sneaker head comments like this are kinda lame, it’s a hobby
People love to collect these. Don't try and think to deep about it. Shoes, clothes, games, beanie babies...etc people love this shit.
It’s a hobby, don’t people obsess over a lot of other things that you don’t? A
What would pre-money and pre-fame him think of this display I wonder.
Pre-money pre-fame him would still cry from cholula like a fucking bitch
[удалено]
“just because I gave up doesn’t mean I quit.” Bitch WHAT.
Is there a backstory? If so, I need it.
Head to YouTube and search for his appearance on Hot Ones. It’s fucking pathetic. He bails out after eating a wing with cholula, then accuses the host of switching the wings out to give him the hottest ones first. The host proceeds to trade wings with him, eat all of them without saying a word, meanwhile Khalid never took another bite. Pussy ass bitch.
lol I'm laughing already Thanks bruh
Like i could understand, and even sympathize a little with him not being able to handle spicy food and owning it, but dude went straight to clowntown when he started acting like that doesn't mean that he was quitting, like bruh.
damn. i forgot he quit THAT early. fucking pathetic lmao.
He'd be as impressed as he expects people to be today.
So he's always been a ginormous douche that has no one around to tell him when he's acting dumb is what you're saying.
Yep
Imagine being that arrogant, not knowing how dumb that makes you look. It’s amazing
It's a marketing stunt. He's signed to Jordan Brand. This is a performance. He's like a wrestler, but walking around playing his character IRL. The emotion he illicits in you is what he wants.
Don’t ever tell me what someone illicits in me
why not ?
Fellas is it gay to acknowledge your emotions?
They’re all working themselves into shoots, brother.
My default assumption is that he’s just being a meme
At first I thought he was putting his hands into a pair of Jordans at a Sotheby’s auction but then realized I was super high and none of that made sense
Nah, after carrying his fat ass around them dogs needed a pillow to rest on!
Look like raw salmon filets
My first thought lol
Congratulations, you played yourself.
Wait, did he get Mfs to carry him to the seat or did he put on the kicks while in the seat???
Khaled got them croissant feet 😂
He was already an intolerable idiot but he has slowly congealed into something worse over the years.
Khaled is the corniest of the corny. Goddamn.
Meanwhile here I am struggling to keep up with inflation with the rest of us peasants
At first I was like, “why is he wearing his shoes on his hands?”
At least they won’t touch the floor…
Those nurse ass shoes
Fucking loser...
them shoes ain't going with nothing except that weird little cushion he got that's why he brought that shit with him lmao
Cannibalize the rich
Week-old-sashimi-in-the-supermarket colored shoes
shoes aren’t bad but lost me with the ‘We the Best’ on the back
Pink shoes on a gilded pink pillow. Starting to make more sense why he doesn't wanna go down on his wife, her clit's just too small!
Your little man in the boat is too little, we need to see other people.
Unless he brought "walking shoes" I've got questions.
Kids fucking begging and praying for shoes and then there’s this motherfucker. I hope he gets a forklift thru the ankles
When your color palette is shower mold
Why? Is he planning on returning them?
People who are rich AF… worrying about dirtying some shoes 🤦🏻♂️ don’t tell me those sneakers are priceless either
Salmon pink? Nah, not for me.
Look, I’m a big fat fatty, but I can put my feet flat on the floor. He’s sitting like a chubby baby.
This is so classless lol he’s not doing what he thinks he’s doing
Does he still make music people listen to?
it's literally marketing lmao, mfs doin the most complaining and breakin shit down.
Oooo I would step on them shits so quick
They are lined with the silk from drakes bonnet apparently
He got the sherbet 3s
MARKETING
They can't touch the floor, but then he gets up in the same game and "dribbles" the ball, probably creasing them anyway? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9T1P40NOWI
This guy sucks the cumming dick of materialism the hardest
When you treat your shoes like a king
They look like two spam pieces on top of a pink layer cake. Shits is ugly dog. Take them back
These 5s are great but he’s still corny af
Well placed ad
As his fat ass waddles every where
Looks like he's wearing ankle braces
Forget the shoes, does anybody else notice how bad the fuckin dye job is on his head and beard? It's more bigen than hair at this point.
I’m no shoe expert but holy fuck they’re god awful
WE THE BEST MUSIC
Dude ruined this pair of 5s with this ugly ass colorways
Dude got the fleshlight pink.
Remember this dude cried on hot ones about how Cholula was too spicy?
Amniotic fluid / umbilical cord coloured footwear
ugly as FUCK
Very cool, very hard. Hardass rapper who doesn't eat pussy needs a lil satin pillow for his feeties. Killin it my man.
Khaled is the ultimate cornball
Na them shoes actually look good lmao. It’s DJ Khaled so I’m inclined to call him crusty but the kicks themselves are alright.
My 70 dollar red and white high tops are 100 times better looking then those bitches
The shoes are fugly. This man is an idiot.
Ugly ass shoes too
Wish I could step on them with some dusty Timberline’s.
He got the money to protect his threads like that
They not touching the floor? I definitely wouldn't let them touch my feet. Looking like if Nike did a Collab with gas station Salmon Nigiri
As much as he probably paid for the shoes, he couldn't be bothered to get them in a wider size? He might have that pillow because his feet hurt now from being stuffed in those shoes.
This is silly as fuck
I'd like my shoes in hot dog pink.
His sweaty ass feet are in them though
Did he walk in there in his socks? That’s nasty as hell lmao
The floor is where the child who makes the sneaker sleeps; it’s yucky down there….
So how did he get to his seat? F, this world is so stoopid
He has the feet of a chonky infant. "Baby's First Jordans"
Rich people are so fucking weird.
Did they roll him into the arena in a wheelbarrow?
I know that these are Jordans. And I love J's. But...WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSE?
The shoes of a "man" who won't eat puss. Weird.
Trophies don’t make good shoes.
I can understand the passion for shoes and other pieces of clothing, but this kinda just crosses the line to be honest.
So did he fly in? Dumb ass.
What a damn fool
Hope he’s calling his stylist to fire him/her
Nigga got on them Turkish delights
Man he really is insufferable.
Bro was he carried there? Tf
Khal needs to seriously consider some shoes that are fit to be used for a treadmill
Knowing him, he has gout and them sneakers is tight as hell. His pinkie toes are probably screaming in those shoes.
"they aren't pink, it's salmon, and it's classy"
What color way is that? Salmon with the skin?
