What are two things that men love the most? Women and sneakers - hopefully in that order. We don’t get mad when a girl has on some Burberry boots or Jimmy Choo slingback pumps but when we catch a PYT rocking some Jordan IIIs our first instinct is to ‘cuff her. Complex takes a look at some of the most beautiful women who are about that sneaker life. Cue Jay-Z “Girls, Girls, Girls” on your iPods (you’re going to want to put that on repeat) and take a look at our gallery of The 50 Hottest Women Wearing The Hottest Sneakers.

Anna Kourn K Swiss
#50 Anna Kournikova in K-Swiss Classic Originals
When: 2008
Complex Says: Yeah, K-Swiss isn’t exactly a sneakerhead staple, but Anna could be wearing Crocs and we’d still be in love.
KimSketch
#49 Kim Kardashian in Skechers Shape-Ups
When: 2011
Complex Says: Yeah, we know – the shoes are horrendous, but hopefully you didn’t even read what we had to say on this one. The photo speaks for itself.
Simmons Pastry
#48 Vanessa & Angela Simmons in Pastry Shoes
When: 2009
Complex Says: Both girls have been doing their thing for a second now including starting their own footwear company, Pastry. We can’t help but get down with attractive girls who don’t only rock kicks but are also on their design game as well.
Emma Watson AM1
#47 Emma Watson in Nike Air Max 1s
When: 2010
Complex Says: It’s tough to argue with Harold Potter, something about this girl is cold.
Kelis adidas x j scott
#46 Kelis in adidas ObyO x Jeremy Scott “Mickey Mouse”
When: 2010
Complex Says: When you hit up Nasty Nas for $44k a month in child support you can afford to splurge on some adidas x Jeremy Scott madness.
Serena AF1
#45 Serena Williams in Nike Air Force 1 IDs
When: 2010
Complex Says: In 2010 Serena needed surgery on her foot for cutting it on broken glass. Apparently during her down time she got on Nike.com and laced herself up with some decent AF1 IDs.
Mandy Moore Bapes
#44 Mandy Moore in Bape Bapestas
When: 2009
Complex Says: Don’t front, your girl made you watch A Walk to Remember at least once. Now you can justify it by saying Mandy is actually kinda cool, she’s down with Bape.
Fergie Y3
#43 Fergie in Y-3 Honja Hi Sneakers
When: 2008
Complex Says: The girl can’t help it. She may pee her pants on stage but at least she does it in high-end Japanese sneakers.
Taylor Vans
#42 Taylor Momsen in Vans Authentics
When: 2010
Complex Says: Born in July 1993? Not old enough. Vans are a classic though, thumbs up.
Mischa Keds
#41 Mischa Barton in Keds Slip-Ons
When: 2007
Complex Says: She was the reason you secretly watched The O.C. for at least season two (love scenes with Olivia Wilde) and when she inked a deal with Keds she proved you can rock a dress and casual shoes and make it look real nice.
Mary J Max 2009
#40 Mary J. Blige in Nike Air Max 2009
When: 2010
Complex Says: Mary J. has been a style icon out of NYC for over a decade and we see her killin’ the Air Max 2009 in a family affair with Jennifer Hudson and Oprah.
Erin Andrews ZigTech
#39 Erin Andrews in Reebok Zigtechs
When: 2011
Complex Says: The first female sideline reporter with a shoe deal, she’s kinda like a big deal. The photos from the ad campaign turned out amazing and the great publicity was peephole-free.
Kim K Nike
#38 Kim Kardashian in Nike
When: 2007
Complex Says: With a certain video dropping in ’07 all eyes were on Kim K. Thank you paparazzi, SFW shots in Nikes like this are what make our work days go by much faster – oh yeah, she is wearing spandex too.
J Biel AM1
#37 Jessica Biel in Nike Air Max 1s
When: 2007
Complex Says: The former 7th Heaven hottie is a big fan of Air Max 1s and we can stand her walking out her sweater puppies in them.
Ciara J Scott
#36 Ciara in adidas ObyO x Jeremy Scott “Wings”
When: 2010
Complex Says: Ciara has always had style since she broke in the game in 2004 with “Goodies.” Making the J. Scott “Wings” look sexy is no easy feat but it earned her a campaign with adidas Originals in 2010.
Nicki Af1
#35 Nicki Minaj in Nike Air Force 1s
When: 2010
Complex Says: The whole ‘fit from head to toe is something only Nicki can pull off. The Nikes mesh perfect with clothes, charisma, and flow. Clap for the heavyweight champ.
Lil Allen J4
#34 Lily Allen in Air Jordan IV White/Military Blue
When: 2009
Complex Says: The Military IVs are a favorite amongst collectors and in 2009 the paps caught one of England’s best-dressed in the Holy Grails.
Cassie Dunk
#33 Cassie Ventura Nike Dunk High SB – Thrashin’
When: 2009
Complex Says: The Connecticut native has always struck us with her beauty and fashion, so when we caught her rocking some premium Dunks it was game over.
Ritchie 97s
#32 Nicole Richie in Nike Air Max 97 Grey/Dark Blue/Navy Blue
When: 2007
Complex Says: It was no coincidence that after she started dating the late DJ AM her sneaker game became relevant.
Teyana Cool Grey 9s
#31 Teyana Taylor in Air Jordan IX “Cool Greys”
When: 2011
Complex Says: The newest member of the GOOD Music clan has proven her alliance to footwear.
Amber Rose Shox
#30 Amber Rose in Nike Shox
When: 2009
Complex Says: The shaved blonde hair, spandex, sports bra and Nike kicks. Yes, some of our earliest memories of Amber Rose.
Ri Blazers
#29 Rihanna in Nike Blazer Black/Gold
When: 2010
Complex Says: Always something about a girl in casual sweats, Nikes, and hoop earrings. Ri-Ri kills the look and the Blazers really stand out against the casual greys. Is that a Kanye Murakami bear shirt?
Linds Skytops
#28 Lindsay Lohan in Supra Skytops Black/Grey/Red
When: 2008
Complex Says: No doubt Sam Ronson had an influence on Lilo’s look at the time and we can’t help but notice how much jewelry she could probably steal and hide in those kicks.
Jess Simpson Shox
#27 Jessica Simpson in Nike Shox
When: 2007
Complex Says: Before she gained a few - dozen pounds Jessica was killing it with her curves in the right places and those killer stems. Apparently the chicken of the sea thing was no fluke because she is definitely eating something she isn’t aware of. Jess, you made need to break out the Shox a few more times.
Joli Fieg Navy Aqua
#26 Joli Robinson in Asics x Ronnie Fieg Gel Lyte III Navy/Aquas
When: 2010
Complex Says: Joli may not be the household name some of these other women are but she should be. Fieg’s exclusive Navy - Aquas heated last summer up nicely and Miss Robinson had people asking about her availability as well.
Cassie Jordan 8
#25 Cassie Ventura in Air Jordan VIII White/Aqua
When: 2009
Complex Says: Typically when a girl hits us up with the MySpace mirror shot we hate on it a little bit. I think we give Cassie a pass with the fresh Jordan VIIIs. Isn’t the shot reminiscent of the “Me & U” video, just a little bit?
Stacy Keibler Reebok
#24 Stacy Keibler in Reebok EasyTones
When: 2009
Complex Says: She is the only legitimate reason you had for watching wrestling in high school. The shoe promises to tone a woman’s butt, we need a little more proof. Stacy we're going to need you to come with us.
C Milian Jordan 13
#23 Christina Milian in Air Jordan XIII White/Grey-Pink
When: 2011
Complex Says: The Jordan XIIIs are a must for an Jordan-head and we wouldn’t mind seeing Miss Milian dip it low in them. What was The Dream thinking? Your ex-shorty is a ten.
Joy Bryant Missoni Chucks
#22 Joy Bryant in Missoni x Converse Chuck Taylors
When: 2010
Complex Says: Missoni helped Converse chop its classic into a more aggressively styled shoe and this look on Joy Bryant made us forget she did that shitty movie with 50 Cent.
Linds Lo Chucks
#21 Lindsay Lohan in Converse Chuck Taylors
When: 2008
Complex Says: I think most guys can back the staple Converse Chuck Taylors in any girls’ wardrobe, and if you want to rock them with your shirt half up we fully support that movement too, boo.
Vashtie Jordan 2
#20 Vashtie Kola in Vashtie Kola x Air Jordan II “Lavender”
When: 2010
Complex Says: Exotic look, great sense of style, and designing your own Jordans. The only three things we ask of a woman to bring her home to ma duke.
Nina Sky Nike x Supreme
#19 Nina Sky in Nike x Supreme Blazer & Nike x Supreme Dunk High
When: 2006
Complex Says: Fly twin Puerto Rican women in Nike x Supreme collabos. We thought so too.
Kesha Supras
#18 Ke$ha in Supra Skytop Gold/Silvers
When: 2010
Complex Says: We aren’t sure if the fact she rocked Supras that match her glitter helped or hurt her, but we do know that she looks bangin’.
Ciara Jordan 9
#17 Ciara in Air Jordan IX White/Black/True Red
When: 2011
Complex Says: Dating a NY Knick signed with Nike isn’t a bad way to up your Jordan collection. Now when can we get her in some Huaraches on the beach?
Olsen Dunks
#16 Ashley Olson in Nike Dunk Low Orange/White
When: 2006
Complex Says: Who wasn’t counting down the day for the Olsen Twins to hit 18? Wait, us neither. The school girl in Nike Dunks look didn’t help the cause.
Lily Allen True Blues
#15 Lily Allen in Air Jordan III “True Blues”
When: 2009
Complex Says: While we are anxiously awaiting the “True Blues” to drop in the US, Lily has been rocking them for a few years thanks to the Euro release in 2009. Can we get a mail order bride and kicks site please?
Soraya Coves
#14 Soraya Yd in Asics x Ronnie Fieg Gel Lyte III “The Coves”
When: 2010
Complex Says: One of the dopest releases in 2010, Ronnie Fieg killed it by pulling out a color unknown to the folks at Asics. Aided by the help of a NYC model, Soraya Yd had just as many people asking about the girl as the shoe. For the first time on this list we’re not sure which one is sexier, the shoe or the model?
Cameron Air Max 360
#13 Cameron Diaz in Nike Air Max 360
When: 2007
Complex Says: Camo hoodie, bare midriff, and some great runners. Charlie isn’t the only person she has going full throttle.
Teyana Carmines
#12 Teyana Taylor in Air Jordan VI “Carmines”
When: 2009
Complex Says: The Jordan VIs are a must. Teyana’s nonchalant street style complements the look perfectly.
Megan Fox Chucks
#11 Megan Fox in Converse Chuck Taylors
When: 2009
Complex Says: Take one of the most gorgeous girls in the world, the most classic sneakers, and that pose… you’ll be on any list.
RoseJ3
#10 Amber Rose in Air Jordan III Black/Cements
When: 2009
Complex Says: The matching sneakers would have been corny on any other couple but Jordan III Black/Cements? Yeezy taught you well.
Kere adidas x j scott
#9 Keri Hilson in adidas ObyO x Jeremy Scott “Gold Wings”
When: 2010
Complex Says: Keri has come a long way from penning hits for the likes of Missy and Timbo to becoming one of the elite females in the game. Unbuttoned blouse or the kicks, either way we’re going for the gold.
Aaliyah More Uptempos
#8 Aaliyah in Nike Air More Uptempos
When: 1997
Complex Says: Aaliyah was so ahead of her time musically and aesthetically. No one made Nikes and baggy clothes look sexier. We miss you.
Keri Yeezys
#7 Keri Hilson in Nike Air Yeezys
When: 2009
Complex Says: We know Amber rocked them too, but Keri rocked them better. Keri’s whole look was on point and Amber got 1 of the 1000 then moved on? Trifey status.
Justene Infrareds
#6 Justene Jaro in Nike Air Max 90 Infrareds
When: 2010
Complex Says: You may be a little more familiar with Justene wearing even less clothes than this. The Penthouse Pet killed the Primitive Shoes photo shoot to commemorate the 2010 release. As if we needed any more excuses to grab them.
RiCasette
#5 Rihanna in Nike Blazer Supreme x Cassette Playa
When: 2009
Complex Says: If the “Rude Boy” video wasn’t enough reason for you to fall in love, how about a top five dead or alive chick rocking an exclusive Nike x Cassette Playa release?
Ciara Jordan V
#4 Ciara in Air Jordan V “Toro Bravos”
When: 2010
Complex Says: The Jordan Vs with jeans are always a good look, not to mention Ciara showing off her incredible body and donning a Braves fitted. She hit dope sneakers, sexiness, and gully points in one shot. That will get you in the top five for sure.
Amber Jordan IV
#3 Amber Rose in Air Jordan IV Black/Cements
When: 2010
Complex Says: Marla Hooch could have rocked these kicks and made the top ten. Amber Rose missing approximately 30% of her outfit in a must have Jordan is the equivalent to Princess Leia in the metal bikini to Star Wars stans.
Cass Chucks
#2 Cassie Ventura in Converse Chuck Taylors
When: 2007
Complex Says: Cassie’s photo shoot for the August/September Complex Magazine is one of our personal favorites. For part of the shoot Miss Ventura rocked more square centimeters of fabric on her feet than the rest of her body. We sold a few magazines and it earned the goddess a runner-up spot on our list.
Kate Upton Jordan VII
#1 Kate Upton in Air Jordan VII “Mineral Blues”
When: 2011
Complex Says: If you aren’t up on Kate Upton please allow us to hit you with a late pass. The 5’10” blonde bombshell has been the baddest since we caught a look of her in SI’s annual swimsuit edition. A few weeks ago Kate Twitpic’d a photo of herself in some Jordan VIIs and the internets went H.A.M. over her most clothed photo to date. How can one woman have all this power?
