Air Jordan 1-XII - Really though, how can the OG from BK choose just ONE Jordan? The whole retro collection must surrender to his feet. It's only right.

Nike Air Force 1 - If you live anywhere near New York City, then the Nike Air Force 1's are called "Uptowns" to you. Fab had to name drop these or else he might be sent off the island to somewhere really scary. Like New Jersey. (Written by a New Jersey native, so don't trip.)

Adidas Superstar - Shell toe Adidas are the quintessential hip hop shoe as Run-D.M.C. taught us, so Fabolous made sure to show out for the classic kicks and make them a wardrobe necessity.

Fila Originals Fitness - After killing the game for decades now, it's obvious Fab has that universal appeal. So does FILA, since they've kind of eclipsed the whole "hey we're part of the sneaker gang" thing. You can rock these with a velour tracksuit (unless you're on The Sopranos), some nice jeans (no skinnies), anything really.

Air Max 1 - Ah yes, the Air Max 1, aka the Genesis Sneaker for Fabolous. Fab did it on 'em with these from the early days as a lowercase g, and now he's a big G with a shoe collection that'll make you cry laces.
