Eminem continues to make headlines following his most recent Revival album. The rap legend recently went Sneaker Shopping with Joe La Puma at Burn Rubber in Detroit. As he browsed the shelves for fresh pairs of sneakers, Eminem dropped some golden nuggets such as his Air Jordan IV “Encore” reissue, his thoughts on the re-selling culture, as well as Eazy-E inspiring him to wear Air Jordans. At the end of the segment, Em spent a total of $600 USD on Nike sneakers and a pair of Reeboks.

“Get your hustle on. It’s fine. What I do, when I get a pair, is I put them in my closet, then I sell them a couple weeks later. Anonymously online, so nobody knows it. That’s why I said I’m not mad at the people who do it — I’m kidding,” the rapper said in regards to his friends-and-family sneakers fetching for thousands of dollars.
