Believe it or not, we're fast approaching the end of the Aughts—a.k.a. the the first decade of the 2000s. It's been an interesting 10 years to say the least, so Complex decided to put together a series documenting the Best of the 2000s, where we count down our 100 favorite everything.
Next up in the series is the 100 Best Sneakers of the last 10 years. If you're like us, you bought a ton of models—some classics, some not-so-classic—in the past 3,000+ days. Included in the list you'll see all the holy-grail-status SBs, Jordans and other standout models from your favorite brands. Check out which kicks made the top 100, and let us know how you feel in the comments...
List compiled by Joe La Puma & Bradley Carbone with help from DJ Clark Kent, Mayor, and Damian Bulluck.

I always thought these were ugly as sin, but I guess I'm the only one.
