Complex goes sneaker shopping with Rita Ora, and she knows her sh*t.
It’s no surprise that Rita Ora likes shoes. She was originally known for rocking Jordans while performing and then signed to adidas shortly thereafter. What is surprising is that Rita actually knows her kicks.
On working at European sneaker boutique Size?:
“It was always fun. I worked there when I was 15,16, 17. I hooked my friends up. My girls ended up working there, and we would play our jams. I’d start adlibing and singing. The boys would come to talk to us, because we were, like, the shit. We were the girls from the area who knew about sneakers. We were the tomboy girls who were cute.”
It’s one thing to wear Js but it’s another thing when you know the history behind the shoe. Not only does Ora enjoy the Air Jordan signature line, but she fondly remembers things from her past that coincide with certain releases — something we can relate to. The AJ13 and AJ1 are two of her all-time favorites, and I’ve gotta say, she has great taste as those are two of my favorites as well.
