It's the end of the year, which means it's time to reflect on the best sneaker drops of 2013. It's been a year filled with memorable footwear moments and to determine the Top 10 Sneakers of 2013, Complex TV's Quickstrike gathered a panel of experts for a round-table discussion.
Quickstrike's DJ Clark Kent and Russ Bengtson, SNKRBST editor-in-chief Jay Corbin, Crooked Tongues writer Gary Warnett, Ronnie Fieg of Kith, Sole Collector editor-in-chief Nick DePaula, Four-Pins editor-in-chief Lawrence Schlossman and Complex director of content strategy Joe La Puma all gathered to debate the best kicks of 2013.
It's only fitting that the best sneaker of the year was made for best basketball player in the game today. Even though LeBron James didn't wear the Nike LeBron XI for the beginning of this year's NBA season, it didn't matter, as sales still did better than the LeBron X. See what the panel thought above.
