DJ Khaled’s new Air Jordan collaboration is finally out, and he recently paid tribute to the brand by recreating their iconic “Jumpman” logo.
The We The Best boss jumped on Instagram on Tuesday (November 29) to share a series of pictures from his trip to Paris, France, and one of the first clips shows Khaled imitating the legendary Michael Jordan.

In the picture, DJ Khaled jumps in the air and hits MJ’s famous Jumpman pose in front of the Eiffel Tower. To make the picture come full circle, Khaled wore his new Nike Air Jordan 5 x DJ Khaled Crimson Bliss sneakers.
“PARIS AIR KHALED #WETHEBEST Swipe for More moments GOD DID,” Khaled wrote in his caption.
In the following pictures, DJ Khaled links up with several people while out in Paris. One of those is fellow sneakerhead and rapper Fat Joe, who met up with Khaled in the evening and posed for a couple of shots.
DJ Khaled’s trip was his first time in Paris, and he clearly loved every minute of it as he documented the whole trip and even showed the lavish room he stayed in for the quick one-day trip. The next stop on Khaled’s journey is Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he’ll continue to promote his new Air Jordan collaboration.

The DJ Khaled x Air Jordan 5 Crimson Bliss was released via the Nike SNKRS on November 28. The sneaker includes multiple iterations of the Air Jordan 5, light creams along the midsole and “Leche Blue” accents across the adjacent spikes, lining and sockliner, topped off with “WE THE BEST” branding. The words “KEEP GOING” are also stamped across the backside of the tongues.
The promo run for DJ Khaled’s new sneaker collaboration has been a success so far. One of the first pieces of content showed Jadakiss lacing Khaled with a few bars for a special commercial filled with slow-motion dunks, including one from the Miami mogul on a lowered hoop.
“They ain’t believe in us, MJ did,” DJ Khaled proclaimed before passing the torch to Jadakiss, who proceeded to spit a set of fiery bars about the kicks.

“No matter what, all I ever knew was keep flowing/ Air Jordan 5 We The Best keep going/ Because they didn’t believe in him, only thing you see me in/ The colorway’s amazing, the leather’s premium,” he rapped on a sun-drenched basketball court while showing off his handles.
