Lil Wayne x Space Jam Jordans x Grammys
Hello it’s the martian, but he’s better known as Lil Wayne. Last night, Drake, Eminem, and Weezy performed “Forever” at the 52nd Grammy Awards. Sorry, but Kanye West was not in the building. As we all know, Wayne’s “Space Jam Jordans” line from his verse in “Forever” added more hype to the already super hyped Space Jam Air Jordan 11 release last year. We wonder did Jordan Brand cut Weezy a check or at least send him a few pairs of Space Jams?
Anyhow, Wayne was spotted rocking “Space Jams” last night. If you missed the Grammys, we have images and the performance after the jump. For the record, Swagga Like Us performance > Forever performance.
Props to Angel of ConcreteLoop for the photos.
The Grammy’s suck. But the shoes don’t.
lol i hate lil wayne….
hes sooooooo over rated!!!!!
.
remember he was signed to cash money since age 12…
.
so when did he have time to do all the gun busting, drug dealing, murdering, hoe pimping, bla bla bla he claims he does/did in his rhymes???
.
when was 8???? lmao fukkkkk outa here
.
wayne looks like whoopi goldberg
The Grammy’s did suck!! But you gotta expect somebody like lil wayne to be in Space Jams.. Weezy dont need JB checks, he write his own, lol… Everybody got the space jams, its not really exclusive, right? Even all the stars got yeezy’s and you know how that release was..
I would have been more impressed with a custom 1 of 1 shoe.. Honestly..
That was the best part of the grammys. First time Wayne’s actually worn nice shoes. Love Wayne, ya digg
Lil wayne really wanted to UN-DS his space jams before he went to jail!! That what it was, lol…
Dope! @ ATLien_Smoke Idk their pretty exclusive in St.Louis I have them and I haven’t seen anyone with them on yet around here and all the stores soldout so I guess they were limited pairs sold in STL.
lame
Didn’t watch the grammys, but this was the only thing I heard from it by my friends, odd if him wearing space jams is the highlight of the night.
Y’all ain’t got the Carter III in your rotation? I sure as he77 do. Now that recent documentary was WACK!! 1 hr & 10 min of footage of him blowin kush & sippin syrup….waste of time. As for the Grammys, I enjoyed it.
weezy #1..ya dig!?
Im just sayin.. Thats lil wayne. Cash money millionaire.. He could have showed us some 2010 concords or cool greys, coppers are something we havent seen, lol… They( space jams) exclusive I just like debating
But I do see Space jamz in ATL all the time…
I AGREE WITH YOU LIL WAYNE LIES HE WASNT ABOUT NOTHING!!!!!!!!!
Sick shoe and I’m so glad I got a pair. DS until summer. Wear your kicks people cause these will turn piss yellow in due time. Stay out of puddles and snow to keep them from turning yellow that much sooner.
I GOT THEM!
^^^ SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE CRYBABIES. you didn’t like the grammies because it wasn’t hip hop enough. for your information there’s more genre of music than hip hop out there. I enjoyed the Lady gaga + Elton John collobration, I enjoyed the michael Jackson ” earth song ” 3d performance. you should of had the glasses. I loved seen Bon Jovi perform ” living on a prayer” beyonce and taylor swift performance was amazing and drake, eminem, wayne and travis barker tore the place down.
@ATL_Smoke
You right the Space Jams are everywhere in the A. But it was cool to see him actually rock the kicks doing the song.
Nice shoe…..but I don’t care about them. LOL @ ATL FOR THE UN DSing his joints before he goes to the clinker comment……LOL
@RSwag ~ Thanks for dropping Travis Barker! Bottom-line that cat NEEDS to be embraced by the hip-hop world because I’m telling he you he could out track Questlove ANYDAY if someone’s looking for real beats!!! Let’s hope to see T.Barker more after that performance!
Lil Wayne…meh
^T.Baker is nice, but he is no Questlove.
Barker (fixed)
Co-sign wit 4DRUMZ, I’m not gonna even front I like Blink 182. lol I like hearin a lil snare & fiddle mixed wit Hip-Hop, but on the real, it’s not really anythin “new.” Beastie Boys been doin it for as long as I could remember & that collabo w/Run Dmc & Aerosmith….classic.
jay-z all day…freak lil wayne
Travis isn’t that great of a drummer compared to many many others. Not saying he is bad, but dudes give him way too much credit. Step up on your drum game ppl. There are a handful of ppl who can play better.
I guess the Space Jamz really give you the power to take flight!! lol as represented in that one pic where he’s crankin the jumpman!
I’m glad to see Weezy rockin these beauties though, gives him more respect from my part..
Agree with Brinx fake rappers aint wher its at but everybody calls him the greatest. On to the shoes no doubt they are nice seeing Wayne in em makes me sick though
Missed The Performance I was kinda mad They Banned Kanye & Keri Hilson Should of Won Best new artist… Just My Opinion Space Jams = Overrated and thats coming from a person who copped the shoe….
That performance was the only thing I saw of the grammys. I gotta semi agree with Jedi. As a drummer myself, Trav may not be the most technically talented but the things he does over HipHop trax are simply AMAZING. Being able to catch and mimic an electronically manufactured beat!? Fix your face vol 1 is a classic IMO (vol.2 was cool). As far as being better than Quest…they are both equally talented and I def look for anything either does, but the Roots as whole have been doing it for years and Quest “leads” them. Maybe they need to have a drum-off, it would be epic.
Thumbs up for Wayne’s Jams…his tee…not so much
Off topic real quick i think the next fad for these younger kids is gonna be spandex i mean the skinny jeans are tight as spandex anyway
My girl went ape nuts when she seen this nicca came…when i seen hime with the spacejams i jus cracked a smile. Forever performance, Mike Jack tribute, and Beyonce were the highlights of the night
^^ Exclusive Game^^ I totally agree with u. Spacejams is way over rated and I copped them too. I think the cherry 12’s are way better n are real under-rated…Lil Wayne always does his thing. Lets please stop hatin on his talent. The man can rap, and he can make a hot song. He’s not no where near the best to do it, but lets stop hatin and give credit where credit is due please.
^^^ @bronxsneakerhead all respect is it hating when a rapper gets on songs and makes a gay giggle on his and pointless bars. He can make some hot songs but he is hype and sometimes it sounds like someone writes his rhymes then others with the gay giggles sound like he actually wrote those
Why Is Everyone always hatin on wayne, he’s the only one puttin out hot new tracks every week, & when you say why aint he killin people or pimpin hoes, cuz he has money he dont need to do that you think you here everyone that rappin sayin they killed someone is true it bullsh*t not every rapper kills people & gets away & make MILLIONS of dollars to you fuckin idiots.
You Mother fuckers are so jaded
^^^^^ Wayne is the same way and never done any of that except shoot himself
@ Hye Style Kid….young mula baybee hehehehehe – lmao & true dat.
.
Jadakiss – “Ahhhh-Hakkkk”
.
DMX – “Arffff-Arffff”
.
Xzibit – “Oh-Ah-Oh-Ah” (eagle/hawk)
.
Jermaine Dupri – “y’all know what this is….so so def”
.
everybody got their own slogan no matter how stupid it sounds.
They should’ve all wore Yeezy’s (the 3 different colorways) and just played his verse and pointed to their kicks. That would’ve been dope. Even though I like how Wayne’s verse repped the Space Jams. I agree the swagger like us performance was better.
^^^^^ Very true not saying no one does but if that aint the worst ive ever heard in my life lol
^^^@bronxsneakerhead^^^ yeh I Put My Cherry 12’s above the Space Jams and the only reason I bought the Jams in the first place is because in 2000-2001 out of the 4 colorways of 11’s I only managed to cop the Columbia’s which in MY OPINION were the Best (No Disrespect to the OG Colorways because I Understand!)I remember I used to call them Angel Socks but anyway I never owned a pair of Space Jam’s & Being an Avid Jordan & Penny Collector It was a No Brainer for me But The Hype just did not live up to the actual Physical shoes Once again Does Hype Kill? and for me it Did the way they short changed the Patent Leather On the Shoe made me be like damn I really spent almost 200 Bucks for these For what a Box? and some Inserts? So thats why I feel the need to say when a shoe is overated FYI The White & Red 12’s are my grail just for the Fact that in 1997 I bought that shoe with my Own Money My First pair of Jordans So I put those 12’s above any other Jordan just because!!
smh…i plead the 5th
WAYNE IS WHOOPI GOLDBERGS SON ( they just dont tell the public )
anybody booked taylor swift tryna sing the chores but drake was still rappin,aha
you can see her like shit looks down
^^Exclusive Game^^ I fully understand u bro. I felt the same exact way when I brought my pair home. Felt as if i got ripped off n spen all that money on the box n inserts like u said. I couldnt agree more. N I also love the cool grey 11’s too!
^^^ I WILL ADMIT the swagger like us performance was better do to the whole rat pack vibe on stage. but forever took a mix of hip hop/rock which was amazing too. NOW ! let’s talk about the white/red 12’s. I rather would have the spacejams. they aren’t took great since they setting on the shelf turning from red to burgundy and I had a pair and took them back in 3 days.

^^Hye Style Kid^^ I agree he is defin hyped. But on the same note, the guy has some skills. N he does his job well, which is put out songs people want to hear and buy. Regardless to how hyped he is. He’s doin something right cause he’s making money. I cant knock no one making money. He is the people’s champ right now. He puts out wat the people want. So when he does that gay giggle, the people want it, as said as that may seem.
Don’t get me wrong, Questlove and the Roots most certainly have pioneered organic hip-hop and he is a master at it on the skins! Travis style could just explode if some hip-hop folks brought him in to simply create beats… not re-create. I’m not a Blink fan, I’m a drummer, and his style and ability were just so evident last night.
.
Lil’ Wayne… I don’t care… I don’t listen to him but he rocked the Jams really well. They looked good with his jeans and of course the lyric!
That’s because STL is lame! The shoe is an uptown, nelly ruined that shoe n song!!! NYC derty!
^^@ Royal Swagness^^ I Like Both Sneakers Space Jam 11’s & White & Red 12’s There is Flaw in Both of them Tho The Only Difference between the OG 12 and the retro’s is the red color contrasting on the shoe The OG’s were a little Brighter Red which I liked But the Construction Overall Tumbled Leather was Almost dead on Proly one of the Better Retros in this Day & Time concerning Jordan Brand I like the Space Jams only thing I meant was that the Hype was to much for the actual shoes to carry and they were Over priced due to “Packaging” (I guess) and You have to add to the Fact that I owned both the original models to these shoes so Im Slighted in my Opinions Quality Overall Look of the shoe Etc. and Yes they have been sitting on shelves but u kno what u guys are going to be kicking yourself 5 yrs later when u realize they are not going to retro this shoe again proly for another 6 yrs Cop now or wait 11 years for the White & Red 12’s to be retroed again Prepare for the Future even tho its not Promised…… let that soak for a minute…
Definitely not gonna knock someone making money i think he is the hottest in the game just not based on lyrics but solely based on like you said he makes songs that people wanna hear…. By all means he making his money i just dont like listening to him anymore he was best around the Drought mixtape timeframe and went down hill to me thats all… But anyway he had to rock the space jams after his verse in Forever if he didnt he would be heavily criticized and for the record as a sneakerhead i liked that bar
Pants half way down, pants halfway down, lookin’ like a fool with your pants halfway down, with the gold in your mouth, hat turned sideways, lookin’ like a dumbass….Yeah.
And By that time I will be out the Sneaker Game anyway but I can always reflect back I got what I wanted and I have it so im satisfied And the legend goes there r 10-20 pairs of Kicks that a Sneakerhead must have in there collections everything else is extra think about that as well What r your Must Haves? Meaning u will spend almost whatever to obtain it I have 12….
@ Exclusive Game
there is no way that you can put wht/red 12s over space jams i have both i have both deadstock o.gs as well and i can never in my life see the 12s over the spacejams now you wish to speak on underrated shoes,then by all means speak on the colombia 11s which was so serious that i cried when mine got a scuff back in 01′ i got lucky to find a deadstock pair later on down the line and since i work in a sneakerstore i see so many and since my store is well known and has o.gs i get to compare at times and the quality of the ogs the shape and design is classic in both but the spacejams are such a pretty shoe i love the wht/red 12s as well it just has a regal look to the shoe but no way can i say those above the spacejams the price drop on the wht/red 12s are crazy now in shoemania on 14th st union square in nyc they are 100 flat many people passed on those not by mistake but by choice because the jams was the shoe and the color on the 12s do change in time what is your thoughts on the charcole 9s,university blue 9s,oreo 6s,and some of the other retros to be dropped in the later half of the year
Too bad that censorship had to ruin what could have been an epic performance..Anyways, it was still dope seein this trio on stage at the biggest music award show of the year.
^^ @ Exclusive Game & 23 was born in 718. I agree there’s those pair you need for your AIR JORDAN collection and once I get them YOUR done. 2’s o.g, 3’s white cement/true blues, 4’s bred/mars blackmon, 5’s grape/laney/fire red, 6 white/black infrared/carmine/olympic, 7’s hare/bordeux, 8 bugs bunny/aquas, 9’s powder blue/o.g/olive 10’s o.g/blue steel, 11’s bred, spacejams, columbias, concords , and cool greys. 12’s taxi/white/red 13’s o.g, bred, flint and 14’s o.g
overrated shoes with an overrated rapper lol jk Wayne is cool!
anyone else pay attention to Drake wearin the Ronnie Fieg Red Wings? those were a good look.
I like the XIIs more than the SPACE JAMS…. sorry “23 was from the 718″…. F%$# THE SPACE JAMS…. I SOLD MINE…… NICE SHOE… DON’T GET ME WRONG…. BUT THERE ARE 5 SHOES I CAN THINK OF RIGHT NOW THAT I WOULD WEAR BEFORE THEM AND NOT BLINK TWICE…. IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER….
.
.
1. AIR TRAINER 1 CHLOROPHYLL
.
2. EGGPLANT FOAMS
.
3. ROYAL BLUE FOAMS
.
4. SC TRAINERS…. RAIDER C/W WITH THE 34 ON THE HEEL
.
5. ANY BRED AJ VI……..
6. NEON AM95
.
7. ANY CEMENT III
.
8. BRED AJ XI
.
9. CARMINE VI
.
10. PLAYOFF VIII
.
EVERYBODY GOT THEIR OWN TASTE AND CONNECTION TO CERTAIN SNEAKERS…. I’M JUST SAYIN’
COME TO THINK ABOUT IT, I COULD NAME 5 JORDANS I WOULD WEAR OVER THE SPACE JAMS….. WOW…
lil wayne oh wack ass with the space jams!!!
^Also I could think of 5 kicks I would want before the spacejams. – white cement 3’s, -mars blackmon 4’s , -laney 5, -aqua 8’s , and the -white/black/red 13’s.
AM95 I agree… This shoe was over hyped and was a POS…. I bought them to rock, I had old retro and beat it up, but this shoe was not crack, it was a$$ crack…. Not only does Lil Wayne suck making music and alone destroying music it self… HE WAS WEARING SKINNY JEANS AND SPACE CRAP….. Just Turrible
Space Jams were the most overrated sneaker of 2009. Black baby booties for adults. I’d mess with the Concords, and that’s where it ends…..the toe box looks like A$$, the look of the shoe from the side is horrid, I can think of almost too many things to NOT like about 11’s…..they look like the person’s standing with their feet in small colored garbage bags being held on with rubber bands. Cherry 12’s were a better release. I could list about 25 sneakers I’d pay above retail for BEFORE paying UNDER retail for the Space Jams.
.
.
And for the record, and to stop any potential bullsh*t, I had a pair which I got for a price that’d make most people call me a liar(thru a hook up, hence the super low price) and I sold em….if I crush a shoe, it’s because I simply don’t like it, not because I’m being salty and couldn’t get a pair….trust me….TRUST ME….I can get ANY pair of kicks, past or present, OG or retro, within about an hour.
WHOOPIE GOLDBERG OBVIOUSLY HAD SEX WITH THE PREDATOR AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED….HE GOT KICKED OFF HIS PLANET FOR BEING A HALF BREED WANNABE TRUE PREDATOR, AND DECIDED TO LIVE HERE AND KILL US NOT WITH A SHOULDER MOUNTED LAZER CANNON, BUT WITH WACK “MUSIC.”
^^@ 23 was born in 718 @ Royal Swagness^^
With Sneakers every shoe represents something different to the individual like AM95 said I selected the Red & White 12’s as My Grail Shoe BeCuz it represented Success to Me I was poor My Mom never spent more then 50 Bucks for a pair of Sneakers in my Life Until later When the Money was Right Mid 2000’s to be Exact and only then its was a major Birthday Gift But anyway I hustled for months to get the Money to pay for them 12’s Why Becuz like every other Kid in the Hood Michael was my hero Why? Hell Cuz Daddy was not around period. So for a 14 year old kid in 1997 to get that money and buy a pair of Air Jordan’s it meant something I get chills looking at Old photo’s wit me in my OG 12’s Did I lust for the 11’s in 1995-1996 YES! But U have to remember Playstation had just come out Focus shifted Hell Could not afford the 11’s anyway.. But if My Best friend and brother hustled 2getha we could get a Playstation that we all could play. Only cats round my way wit 11’s sold dope and and rode in Box chevy’s and they only Bought them cuz they was the New J’s and they had the paper to buy them The Shoe itself never represented anything more to them ya feel me? I did not sell Dope to get my 12’s That was Honest so it means more Space Jams came out in 2000 and sold out in seconds at that time I was One of those Cats that missed the Boat ended up gettin the Columbia’s me personally rank the Concord 11’s Over the Space Jam’s U cant tell me when u saw the Commercial when MJ Dunked on the 100 ft rim Thats when the Shoe Game changed for the better Black & White Patent leather Couldn’t get Better!! and he Actually wore them throughout the season.. to address the homie 23 brn in 718 Powder blue 9’s are pure Classic Charcoals seen them as a kid did not appreciate them till later oreo 6’s not a Fan.. Only 6’s I cop are OG Colorways hell that was the Shoe Mike Won his First chamionship cant disrespect it!! But Yeah Basically in a Nutshell i collect Jordans 1-14 “The Chicago Years” because thats when History was made and to AM95connoisseur I would Rock Royal Foams to Over The Space Jams to Everybody Know’s That the Space Jam regardless of opinions has etched its name in Sneaker History and to me it was the Fans that did it for that shoe regardless of what it meant… Long post sorry… Im Passionate about this Culture!!!
@ Royal Swagness U hit on the head I Love Your taste in sneakers very similar to me its kinda of Scary…Damn!!
^^Royal Swag, I found VNDS Laney’s last week in Tokyo in my size for $179.00 lol…..
Drake, Lil Wayne & Eminem rocked the Grammy’s!
^ @ TOYKOMIKE. WHAT! the laney 5’s for only $179. that’s a good ass deal. you the man. I just picked up a pair of aqua 8’s for $200 at flight club l.a. but your deal was way better. lol
^^it was lucky…..I almost didn’t look in one spot in the store, and I’d seen a pair in that spot before but they were a size 8.5 AKA G-Roc size, AKA BABY FOOTS…lol, this time, they had em in a size 11. Aqua’s are fresh as hell too….another sneaker I’d rock way before the Spacejams lol….
Haha I had my space jams on last night too
weezy killed it mang…Drakes&Eminems part was a lil bit wack.
^^ I agree ToykoMike I wear both them pair before the spacejams. but if they drop them white cement 3’s I coppin 3 pair. not to sell but just to wear a pair every decade.
^^ @ Royal Swagness C0-SignIts gonna be a Hot Summer!!
^^ @ Fran What it Do?
Nah Space Jams were alright but 09 had better releases . I’m about to catch my copper foamposites for $95 bucks and then probably pick up the rest of the sneakers on my list. Also wayne hit his peak around gangsta grillz and dedication 2 after that he fell off slowly and surely rapping wise,. Matter fact has anybody ever listened to a wayne album not mixtape without fastforwarding.
space jam this ,spacejam that.we will see whos will turn yellow faster, your spacejams or my twelves .ill wait.
^^I got both so it doesn’t matter.
lil wayne in space jams??? it was bound to happen ever since that stupid song came out he should have stuck with his supra’s
Doesn’t really matter who rocks these shoes. Or who doesn’t wanna rock em. Just like it says on the box: WE made them what they are. And the fact that Da Bulls went 72-10 with XI’s on Mikes feet, that’s why these are special to me. I wear mine proudly and will continue to do so. Only XII’s I have are my ‘03 Flu Games and the ‘09 Nubucks. And they are all nice enough for me. Stop trying to impress everybody and just do you and you will be happy. PEACE!
SO MUCH HATE!! THIS GUY JUST PERFORM AT THE GRAMMYS AND U BUMS GOT THE AUDACITY(look it up) TO TRY AND HATE ON THIS MAN U LOOSERS MAKE ME SICK!! U BUMS WON’T EVER REACH THIS TYPE OF SUCCESS U FUCKING LAMES!! I WISH A NIGGA WOULD WRITE SOMETHING BACK!! GO WEEZY-GO!$!$!$!
damn why yall haten on wayne lol ? im with ya cool kid …
am95connoisseur??we are not interested in what kind of shoes you like.
Please do it on your blog.
Glad others feel the same as me with this guy lil wayne
okay i got the space jams too, so should they make a posting about me wearing them? lol
@ Exclusive Game
growing up in brooklyn all the dopeboys did what the d-boys did in your hood,sold them things to get fly,that 100 ft rim had me afterschool going to the courts with the small rims to bang like mike,no 11 comes before the concords that is my holy grail,being that i now work in a sneakerstore i have been able to build my shoe collection mighty and strong capturing those i wasnt able to afford growing up so i agree with you in many ways,we have the sae idea and taste n kicks
@ royal swaggness
the true blue/white cements o.g are a must own
as well as neon 95s o.g
penny 2s in blk/royal/wht or atlantic blueo.g
penny foams the true o.g
pippen o.g blk/red/wht
bred 4s o.g
taxi,wht/red,obsidan 12s o.g
september blue 6s o.g
i like the oreo 6s they look good in person
the 2s o.g colorway is a must own
not a 9s fan,but i want the charcoles again(rain damaged)
the chicago love story is a must have(any o.g from mj’s chi bulls era)
i just got the miro olympic 7s for $220 deadstock and
i may pickup the air carnavores since we got them
sorry but my laptop was acting up so it went on under the wrong email
guess lil wayne’s about to start wearing blue now, if he hasn’t already. i’m mad i missed the grammys. for the past week i’ve been skeptical of hip hop and music as a whole because of this ‘new age’ nonsense they’re allegedly trying to promote. a lot of the grammy winners are allegedly apart of this conspiracy.
as for the shoes though, like the space jams a lot, but the bred playoff XIs are ten times better in my opinion.
sorry but wayne cant rock em good (to the fuckin grammys)seriusly?.just take them shits off u make em look bad as fcuk,btw i didnt saw the grammys but was that a rock song wayne was singing or “hip-hop” cant tell by the pictures
Not big on wayne. Not a fan, but I like the kicks. Jordan Brand got some TV time with that.
^Exclusive Game-you right about collecting jordans 1-14 cause those were the chicago years.
Yeaa dmy i know wat conspiracy ur talkin bout i didnt even look @ music the same..nd i agree wayne should have wore sumthn exclusive like the cool greys
“For the record, Swagga Like Us performance > Forever performance.”….exactly
OMGGG YALL WHACKK STOP COMPLAINING.. THE REASON HE FUCKIN WORE SPACE JAMS IS BECAUSE HE MENTIONS THEM IN HIS FOREVER VERSE.. dammnit .. AINT IT OBVIOUSS THATS THE REASON ? lol
royal swagg iz a homo who da f&ck still say swagg and wayne made them 11s look wack leave them skinny homo jeans in 09
First off Lil wayne is overrated by the white hypebeast wack ass hell I can name guys that been around or underground would lyrically destroy him. And second off the Space Jam Jordans as well as the #11’s are overrated. The best Jordan release this year are the white/red XII”s aka Candycane XII’s.
lil waye is so cute i have and love his sneakers dont for get he is mine
