It’s safe to say DJ Khaled might be one of the truest Air Jordan fans out there. The famous American music artist has often brought out his hilarious side on the internet and he was back at it again, but this time featuring Michael Jordan‘s famous shoe brand. There are a few unwritten rules you follow when you wear a Jumpman. Well, only the Jordan buffs know it. A viral video of DJ Khaled speaking about one of the rules before his live concert caught the attention of the internet. 

The 48-year-old was about to leave his car but suddenly hit the pause button after he remembered he was wearing Jordans. DJ Khaled did not want to place his shoes on the hot sand. Instead, he asked two of his security guards to carry him to a mini truck. Khaled said, “I don’t wanna get my Jordans dirty… Can’t mess up with the J’s… We feeling nice”. The guards helped him all the way to the stage as Khaled successfully managed to keep his Jordans clean.
