French Montana sat courtside at the Nets game wearing the Virgil Abloh-designed sneakers: “That’s a Lamborghini.”
French Montana has an enviable sneaker collection that includes a pair worth the equivalent of a luxury supercar.
The “Unforgettable” hitmaker was sitting courtside at the Nets game Wednesday (December 27) when he showed off his kicks.
“I got $200,000 on my feet,” French Montana boasted while panning the camera down to his Virgil Abloh-designed Louis Vuitton Nike Air Force 1 sneakers. That’s a Lamborghini. Like my n#### Baby said, ‘That’s a Lil Duval plane on my feet.’”
French Montana paid tribute to the late designer in the caption, writing, “REST IN PEACE VIRGIL.”

Like French Montana, Fat Joe also has a pair of the highly coveted Virgil Abloh-designed sneakers that he refuses to sell because of their sentimental value.
“I got offers of up to $150,000 for this one pair of sneakers,” he explained during an Instagram Live in April. “Now, somebody offering you $150,000 for a pair of sneakers is almost like the devil is tap dancing, like the Sandman at the Apollo. If you gave me a gift, I could never sell a gift. It was a gift.”
He continued: “I don’t believe in selling it, but boy, is the temptation there. Somebody’s just dancing like this trying to give you 150 grand for a pair of sneakers that, by the way, you got for free.”
Meanwhile, French Montana reminded fans he has a new project coming early in the New Year. The fifth installment of his long-running Mac & Cheese mixtape series is due January 5.
