Blac Chyna has never been one to shy away from making a statement—even when traveling. Back in 2017, the model and entrepreneur turned Los Angeles International Airport into her own runway, pairing laid-back comfort with standout sneaker style.
Her look, anchored by bold Nike Air Jordans and a streetwear-cool BAPE top, reminds us why she continues to be a reference point for fans of athleisure and celebrity sneaker culture.

Beyond her fashion moments, Blac Chyna continued to engage her followers online. Her Instagram feed often mixed brand partnerships with glimpses of her personal style.
Her live sessions gave fans a more unfiltered look at her day-to-day—proving she knows how to balance both business and connection in the digital spotlight.

The Nike Air Jordan 13 Retro isn’t just another pair of sneakers—it’s a piece of basketball and pop culture history. First released in 1997, it became the last signature shoe Michael Jordan wore during his final season with the Chicago Bulls, a year that ended with his sixth and final NBA championship.

Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the silhouette was inspired by Jordan’s “Black Cat” nickname. Its panther-like details remain some of the most distinctive in sneaker design: a holographic “cat’s eye” logo on the ankle, an outsole patterned like a paw, and a sleek, hidden lacing system. Premium materials and Zoom Air cushioning made it cutting-edge at the time, and its bold design continues to resonate today.
If Blac Chyna’s bold sneaker moment has you inspired, she’s hardly the only star to step out in Jordans. From celebrity street style to deep dives into sneaker history, Your Next Shoes has covered some of the most iconic Air Jordan stories worth revisiting.

Of course, this wasn’t Blac Chyna’s only memorable Nike moment. A year earlier, she proved that sneakers were just as much a part of her maternity style as her off-duty looks.
