Many people might not know this but beside crooning your favorite drunken, “what’s up with this chick?" anthem, Biz Markie is an OG sneakerhead. This past weekend PRO-Keds gave credit where credit was due, hittin’ Biz up with his very own 69er Low in collaboration with Packer Shoes. Biz hasn’t made his sneaker collection as public as some other heavyweights (or even been photographed much in them) but even DJ Clark Kent filled us in that Biz has an arsenal. And the legendary Nike Air Safari might not be so legendary without the Biz. Click through the gallery to take a look at some of Biz Markie’s Greatest Sneaker Moments.
