Drake owns a pair of 24-karat Air Jordans that weigh 100lbs

When it gets to Christmas time and you’re figuring out what to get the man who has everything, here is the answer: a 24-karat pair of Air Jordans.

The melancholy Canadian rapper commissioned artist Matthew Senna to create these custom, one-off solid gold Air Jordan 10 “OVO’s”, that weigh in at a whopping 100lbs - about the same as a baby hippo.

We'd like to see Michael Jordan getting airtime in these weighty boots.

Who says money can’t buy class?
