Drake treats himself to a solid gold treat for his number one album

Los Angeles - Drake has celebrated his number one album by getting a pair of 24 karat gold Nike Air Jordans.

The 29-year-old rapper commissioned the bespoke trainers to be made a couple of months ago and the mega-bling kicks arrived last week, with the Summer Sixteen hitmaker announcing their arrival via his Instagram account.

Posting an image of the bespoke footwear on the social media site, Drake wrote: "#SolidGold #24K #TheseAreNotToWear (sic)"

The truly one-of-a-kind trainers are the work of artist Matthew Senna, and with the footwear weighing in at a massive 20lb they reportedly set Drake back $26 500.

Matthew has also been prolific on Instagram and posted a different view of the Air Jordans and it's fine details.

He posted alongside the picture: "Jumpman! Jumpman! Jumpman! Jumpman! Jumpman! Jumpman! Details are everything. #studyOVO #sennamade (sic)"

Drakes song One Dance, featuring Kyla and Wizkid, has been number one in several countries, including the US, Portugal, Canada, Australia and the UK - where it has spent 14 weeks in the top spot.
