The rapper-turned-actor Ludacris will always hold a special place in the hearts of Atlantans. He is one of many performers from the city who has gone on to great things but shows love to his hometown at every opportunity. 

During halftime of Sunday's NFL game between the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints, the Fast and the Furious actor pulled off an acrobatic stunt during his halftime performance. Check out Ludacris' Instagram post below to watch him rappel from the Mercedes Benz Stadium roof.

Naturally, Ludacris pulled off the stunt and looked cool doing it. The Atlanta native even showed love to the Falcons by pulling an old pair of Air Jordan sneakers out of his closet.

Well, the red and black kicks worn by Ludacris are actually inspired by Michael Jordan's time with the Chicago Bulls. But they work for Falcons fans, too. Below is everything online shoppers must know about the sneakers and how to find affordable alternatives.
