The Hottest Sneakers 2008-2017
Air Jordan 6 "Olympic"
The Air Jordan 6 "Olympic" was a special designed shoe specifically for the olympic games in 2008 in Beijing, China.
Nike Air Yeezy
The original Nike and Kanye West collaboration, the Air Yeezy, has been overshadowed by the Yeezy 2 in every possible way. This shoe has proven that an entertainer’s signature shoe could be as successful as an athlete's.
Air Jordan 11 "Cool Grey"
The Air Jordan 1 Cool Grey was one of the bigger Jordan releases for a pair that wasn’t an OG colorway. The sneaker caused some riots resulting in some damages to stores. The sneaker was released in 2001, priced at $125. The sneaker’s grey upper was too cool for people to pass up, making these still a very popular shoe today. The last time we saw these re-released was back in December of 2010. It may be a little while before we see these come back, so these will remain a hot commodity.
Air Jordan 3 "True Blue"
The Air Jordan 3 "True Blue" silhouette is essentially true to its original design ethos. White tumbled leather is utilized for the majority of its upper, while the signature cement grey paneling is prominent on the eye stays, heel and toe cap.
Roshe Run
The sneaker is exactly what a sneaker should be: It looks good on foot, it's affordable, obtainable, and you're easily getting your moneys worth. Sometimes a great sneaker is exactly that. No more, no less.
Air Jordan 1 "Royal"
Is it weird to declare a more or less exact reproduction of a sneaker from 1985 the best sneaker of 2013? Maybe. But the black/royal Air Jordan 1 retro was just that good, and that long-awaited. The last time the black/royals were available was in 2001. When the sneaker landscape and market were tremendously different. This time around, a true hightop Air Jordan 1 with "Nike Air" branding wasn't to be missed-and in that red and black Nike box, it couldn't be. And the black/reds are still coming? 2013 was the year of the Air Jordan 1.
Air Yeezy 2 SP "Red October"
Nike and Kanye West completely changed the Sneaker game with these shoes. In October 2014 Kanye West released these sneakers to the public but only in a limited amount. This shoe could possibly be the most talked about sneaker in the world.
Adidas Ultra Boost
The comfort of the runner is like no other, but it's the perfect example of when a brand blends performance with a lifestyle look and gets it right. It's good to see a new and technical sneaker take the top spot any year, and 2015 is no exception.
Nike Air Mag
Inspired by Back to the Future and Marty McFly, these shoes were only available if you made a minimum $10 donation to the Michael J Fox Foundation and you would get one raffle ticket for a chance to win a pair of these. These Auto-lacing futuristic sneakers are very sought after.
Air Jordan 1 "Off White"
The Air Jordan/Off White collaboration was voted sneaker of the year for 2017. Virgil Abloh was the lead designer of these Jordan 1's. It is rumored to expect more from him in 2018 with Nike.
