"Surprise" isn't normally a word that you'd associate with sneakers. Releases are planned months—if not years—in advance, and even the hyper-est hyperstrike usually leaks out one way or another.

And if it wasn't for the occasional risk-taker, this whole sneaker thing would be a lot less interesting. Check out The Biggest Surprises in Sneaker History and let us know your thoughts below.
