There were only 10 pairs of the sneakers collaboration Eminem x Carhartt Air Jordan 4 auctioned in November and one of them were recently worn by Drake. The “Hotline Bling” singer was recently spotted wearing the shoes in an NBA game.

On Dec. 4, Drake watched the game between the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors at the Air Canada Centre. The latter won the game 112-109.

Aside from Drake, the other recipients of the pairs of the Eminem x Carhartt Air Jordan 4 were Eminem’s friends and family. In November, the shoes were auctioned for an average of $22,755 on eBay, according to Sole Collector.

In 2009, Drake and Eminem collaborated in the single “Forever” along with Kanye West and Lil Wayne. It was released from the soundtrack of NBA star LeBron James’ documentary titled “More Than a Game.”

Also, “Forever” was included in “Relapse: Refill,” the re-release of Eminem’s sixth studio album “Relapse.” Eminem rapped his verse of the song at the American Music Awards 2009 and performed the song with Wayne, Travis Barker and Drake at the 52nd Grammy Awards.

Meanwhile, Drake’s “Hotline Bling” was supposed to be nominated for the Record of the Year category of the 58th Grammy Awards but it was not submitted partly because of the label Cash Money’s clerical error, according to Hits Daily Double. If it was nominated, it would go against D’Angelo and the Vanguard ’s “Really Love ,” Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk” featuring Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” and The Weeknd’s “Can't Feel My Face.”

On the other hand, Drake is nominated for Best Rap Performance at the 58th Grammy Awards with his song “Back to Back” and his collaboration song “ Truffle Butter ” with Nicki Minaj. The other nominees are J. Cole ’s “Apparently ,” Fetty Wap’s “Trap Queen,” Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” and Kanye West’s “All Day” featuring Paul McCartney, Theophilus London and Allan Kingdom.
