From the mixtapes, radio shows, and DJ gigs to the other hustles in the “Invasion” conglomerate, DJ Green Lantern is certainly a thoroughbred in the music industry; he’s not a slouch when it comes to sneakers either. We caught up with the “Evil Genius” to ask him about his current sneaker rotation, which like many, shows his affinity for the Jumpman.  Check out his rotation after the jump, and let us know what you think.

DJ Green Lantern: “The shoe is ill because it’s Spike’s combination of a gang of different shoes, and the way that joint comes out is tough. It’s official, unlike a Fusion.”
