RELEASE MONTH: All summer
COMPLEX SAYS: Athletes wore them after their events in Beijing, and even the socially inept felt comfortable in large crowds by lacing these up.

COMPLEX SAYS: The crew at Hawaii-based In4mation got down with S.B, no, not that SB'Sal Barbier to bring back the Sal 23, in classic colorways that moved major units. Look for a grey suede follow-up coming in a few months.

COMPLEX SAYS: These cleaned-up kicks say “I can be classy, but I came up bodying yacht-club members,” and were the tighest colorway of the Parker to drop thus far.

personal favorite is the air max 90 current(free X am90 hybrid). It performs better than the original while maintaining the freshness IMO.

i have to agree with jason and miguel. how can you not have the CARMINES and HARES on your list.and no PENNY 2’s either. you got to be on one or have altzimers or something to leave three classics like this off your list.
