This might be the most important song about shoes since Blue Suede Shoes. Nelly and his boys love their Nikes the way Carrie and Samantha love their Manolo Blahniks.

Some of my favorite lines:


Nelly:
The last person that touched 'em, I damn near shot 'em

Kyjuan:
Now if you look and see lime green Forces, it's Kiwi
You couldn't get this color if you had a personal genie

Murphy Lee:
We up in Foot Locker, I'm looking like I need those
10-1/2, and if you got 'em, give me two of those
I can tell she's never seen Murphy Lee befo'
'Cause she just standin' there as if I'm shootin' free throws
I said, "Excuse me, miss, I only wanna buy shoes"
She said, "I love you, Murph, especially in the white and blue"
I said, "The white and blue? Sounds nice, make it twice"
Then I signed an autograph, "Thanks for the advice"
