Chad Muska's Top 25 Sneakers of All-Time

Chad Muska: “A classic that just always seems to work in any situation for any style! A timeless shoe."

Chad Muska: “Smooth summertime shoe that I used to rock a lot in the '90s. Camo cargo shorts and these all day in Miami!"

Chad Muska: “I remember seeing the Beastie Boys wearing these in all kinds of different colors and I used to hunt through thrift stores hoping to find pairs in my size!"

Chad Muska: “A million colorways and a billion (rough estimate) sold… This shoe just seems to have nine lives and never gets old."

Chad Muska: “This takes me back to my early graffiti days and drawing overexaggerated characters always in shelltoes. I remember getting beat up for wearing red fat laces in mine."

Chad Muska: “I have just always liked these ones. You can’t help but think that the air bag is giving you more comfort by how big it looks in this shoe."

Chad Muska: “Had to follow up the 90 with the 95. I have gone through more than a few pairs of these over the years. Swooshy track pants cinched up to your knee and these in NY all day in 1995."

Chad Muska: “What can I say… I really think they killed it with these ones. A bit on the expensive side, but that makes you even cooler when you are rocking them to your favorite fashion show. Or not."

Chad Muska: “A classic skate shoe that always brings back good memories of my early skating years. After all these years, Cab is still killing it with these!"

Chad Muska: “After a few years of skaters cutting down their Cabs and putting stickers on them to hold them together, Vans finally gave in and made the Half Cab!"

Chad Muska: “Another shoe that brings back great skate memories. I always wanted these but couldn’t afford them at the time when they were hot. And, they were not even that expensive!"

Chad Muska: “I remember seeing the famous skater Jason Lee (now famous actor) wearing these and I had to have them. Much like the Caballero’s, I would cut these off into mid tops and sticker-up the sides."

Chad Muska: “A simple, classic shoe that just works. I really like the Pony logo on the side of a shoe as well. Very bold and adds a design aesthetic without having to do anything else."

Chad Muska: “Although I really do not like the design on a whole… I had to throw this one in because the tongue design has stuck in my head all these years and I used it for inspiration on the Skytop II."

Chad Muska: “My second-favorite Jordan shoe. I thought this shoe really started to pave the way for more tech and futuristic lines of sneakers. I love the chunky mesh on the side."

Chad Muska: “This is the shoe that inspired me, as well as multiple generations and many more to come. Although it is pretty similar to the Dunk, this is the shoe that proved with the right guy (or girl) behind a shoe, anything is possible."

Chad Muska: “Vans is like the Levi’s of footwear to me and everyone has to have a pair of 501s. The Slip-On is just that and I think after Spicoli rocked them, almost everyone has had at least one pair in their life!"

Chad Muska: “This is the first shoe that I ever designed. I drew it on a napkin and brought it in. I remember having no idea what I was doing and had no idea what was going to happen. This is where it all began for me. Thank you Jordan!!!"

Chad Muska: “Also known as the “Dope Man.” This was the hot shoe when I was in grade school and all the cool gangsters were wearing them. I noticed a lot of grandpas like this one, too!"

Chad Muska: “This is the true origin of the Skytop and I have always had this shoe in my head after all these years. Now, I just have to perfect that Hover Board that I have been working on!"

Chad Muska: “My first shoe that I designed for Circa when I helped start the company in 1999. I was trying to take things to the next level with multiple airbags, metal mesh panels and secret stash in the tongue!"

Chad Muska: “A lightweight sleek design that I worked on with my friend Niko. The sunburst design was inspired from a Hosoi tribute rising sun skateboard that I had out at the time."

Chad Muska: “My first Supra shoe that I conceptualized and designed with Josh Brubaker. This is the shoe that was doubted the most and later received the most success."

Chad Muska: “The progression of the first model is a little taller, a little slimmer. This is one of my favorite shoes of all-time. Although it may be a little egotistical of me to end this off with five of my own shoes… All I can say is that I am proud of my work! More to come soon!!!"

Chad Muska: “The Skytop III is a step towards the future of sneaker culture."
