The sneakerhead culture is something else, and was no better on display over the weekend than when DJ Khaled attended the NBA game between the Charlotte Hornets and the Miami Heat.

Khaled went to great lengths to prevent getting his unreleased Air Jordans dirty, so he brought a pillow to rest his feet on while he sat courtside at the game!

DJ Khaled told SI the unreleased shoes “were not meant to touch the court yet,” thus the reason for the pillow.

The Air Jordan 5 'DJ Khaled We The Best Crimson Bliss' will release on November 28, 2022 for a retail price of $225.
