Last month, Hip-Hop culture was shocked when news of the sudden passing of the legendary DJ Clark Kent was announced. With many of his peers paying homage in the following days, NBA legend LeBron James went about paying tribute in his own way.
Recently, the NBA icon styled in a pair of exclusive Air Force 1s Lows that were dedicated to the memory of “God’s Favorite” DJ and truth be told, they’re low-key fire. The classic silhouette was fitted with a reflective base in a colorway reminiscent of the “Easter” Air Force 1 colorway with the word “GODs” etched on one heel tab and “Favorite” etched on the other. The tongue on the sneakers also feature a “DJ Clark Kent” patch just in case no one knows who “God’s Favorite” DJ is.

If you know anything about DJ Clark Kent, he was a sneaker connoisseur way before sneaker culture was the “in” thing to be a part of and he had collection of kicks that would rival some of your favorite artists.
Naturally, we doubt that these will ever see the light of day as Nike is notorious for giving athletes like LeBron James and artists like Travis Scott their own exclusive sneaker colorways for friends and family. Still, don’t be surprised if a pair of these hits the sneaker resale market as player and artist exclusives are known to slip onto the secondary market here and there.
Do expect to pay a grip though as scarce sneakers fetch big bucks.
