The sneaker collaboration is a relatively recent phenomenon — it hasn't been that much more than a decade since artists and retailers getting a chance to put their own mark on a sneaker company's masterwork became commonplace. Since then, they've more than made up for lost time and virtually no silhouette has been left untouched. We knew selecting the top 50 sneaker collaborations of all time wouldn't be easy, so we passed the task on to the inimitable (and unmatchable) Gary Warnett.

    This might be the best sneaker list ever made. There is a real sense of product and materialization of shoes. Its a fantastic read for anyone interested in sneakers.

    Educational, knowledgeable and interesting. Seriously, why would anyone want to see a list of 50 shoes that came out in the last two years? Most of the idiots complaining that 'Ayo son, you missed out the Burger King x Dunlop co-lab from 2009! You're wack!' were having their footwear picked out by their parents until last year. Best sneaker list online, bar none.
