G-Roc says: "I had to put the Puma Clyde on my list because they are so simple and fresh."

G-Roc says: "Over used, but still a classic New Balance shoe. I will always have respect for the 574."

G-Roc says: "I like the Sk8 Hi, and the Hosoi edition had everyone going nuts, including me."

G-Roc says "When I think about Reebok Pumps, this shoe comes to mind. The colorway is just too clean."

G-Roc says: "Say what you want, but I live in Atlanta and the Fila Original Classic Low is a staple down here. You could only find them at Walter's, which is located downtown ATL. FootLocker started selling all the fruity colors and that killed a lot of the Fila buzz, but I will still rock the O.G. colors."

G-Roc says: "I'm not a fan of many Pippen shoes, but I really like the Air Pippen One. Especially in the black/white/red colorway."

G-Roc says: "In 1992, the Air Tailwind dropped in some nice colors, including the Kenya edition, but the Air Tailwind in white/yellow/crimson/black is the best."

G-Roc says: "Out of all the ZX kicks, I'd have to say the ZX 9000 is the most appealing to me. It looks like this shoe will make you run faster. Don't you agree?"

G-Roc says: "I remember when these dropped in 1995. Junior Seau's signature shoe. I personally think the royal blue/white is the best."

G-Roc says: "No look Dunk. Yep, that's what Dee Brown did in these. Since then, this shoe has been a favorite of mine."

G-Roc says: "The Andre Agassi Nike line offered some of the craziest colorways man had ever seen. I rocks with a lot of them, but the Air Tech Challenge II "Hot Lava" is exactly that—hot lava."

G-Roc says: "Patta is the reason why we see so many Gel Lyte III collaborations nowadays. The Patta Gel Lyte III looks pretty, pretty, pretty good (Larry David voice)."

GRoc says: "Here's my thoughts: Air Trainer Max 91 grey/yellow > Air Trainer Max 91 black/white."

G-Roc says: "I remember seeing these during my first week of 9th grade in 1997. I thought they were awesome, and I still do."

G-Roc says: "Where was a NYC connect when I needed one? Everyone loves the orange and red colorway, but I love the blue. Supreme did a great job."

G-Roc says: "I've been a fan of this shoe since it released, but I never tried to get them when I was younger. Before they saw a retro release, these shoes used to go for $600+ on eBay. Thanks to Nike for the retro."

G-Roc says: "The Air Jordan VII 'Hare' is known as the 'Bugs Bunny Jordans.' In this case, they are known as G-Roc's #34 pick."

G-Roc says: "Why did I snooze on these? The world may never know. These are absolutely gorgeous. I'm looking for a size 8, 8.5 or 9."

G-Roc says: "I remember seeing the 'Home' Rayguns and I saying, 'I gottta get those.' And you better believe, I got ’em."

G-Roc says: "I like all the Air Penny 1 colors, especially the Orlando colorway."

G-Roc says: "Uniquely designed, and I love the colorway. Some people call them the Reese Forbes, I call them the Hunter Dunks. Super fresh!"

G-Roc says: "There were so many Patrick Ewing sneakers that I couldn't even pick one model. So I just said 'Patrick Ewing sneaker' for this one. Good luck to any of you out there who plan on unDS'ing a pair soon. May the Sneaker Father be with you."

G-Roc says: "If this was G-Roc's Top 50 Coolest Shoes list, the ESPOs would be number 1. This shoe had me beastin', but I refused to pay $450+ for them. I would have rather paid retail which I believe was around $120. I still really like this shoe."

G-Roc says: "I have love for the other Air Jordan V colorways, but the Grape colorway is so sexy. Now the real question is why did I sell mine?"

G-Roc says: "The Air Huarache is so comfortable and attractive. We need Nike to retro the OG white/blue/green colorway ASAP."

G-Roc says: "It's soooooo many Air Jordan 1 colors, but this color is the one for me. Really handsome shoe. Yeah, I said handsome."

G-Roc says: "When all else fails, I can always count on the Chuck Taylor. Affordable and classic."

G-Roc says: "This is definitely my favorite Nike SB Dunk High. Such a great collab, and the shoe looks crazy, but in a good way."

G-Roc says: "Who can deny the freshness of the Aqua Air Jordan VIII? I just like the shoe and there's nothing else that needs to be said."

G-Roc says: "I have love for all the Air Huarache Trainers, but this is the color that does it for me."

G-Roc says: "I remember the hype. I also remember liking the Tiffany Dunk. It's such a beautiful shoe. *sigh*"

G-Roc says: "I'm a fan of just about any Nike Trainer with a strap. As for the Air Speed Turf Max, a.k.a. the Dan Marino's, I love ’em."

G-Roc says: "People have been sleeping on this shoe for years. Keep on sleeping. This is one of the best shoes Nike has ever created."

G-Roc says: "This shoe is so important to sneaker history. It's also a super fresh and comfortable. Me likey."

G-Roc says: "Mannnnnnn, I love this shoe. Shout out to Supreme for linking up with Public Enemy. Both colors are cool, but the black/yellow color is my favorite."

G-Roc says: "Just classic. Thank you, Mr. Tinker Hatfield. You are a living legend. This colorway of the Air Trainer 1 is G.O.A.T."

G-Roc says: "I played baseball growing up and all the kids wanted to hit home runs like Ken Griffey Jr. He had the prettiest swing in MLB history. As for his shoes, you'd be a fool to be a fan of baseball and not mess with Griffeys. The Air Griffey Max 1 is one of my favorites."

G-Roc says: "Everyone knows I'm a Cross Trainer guy. The Air Trainer SC II is classic. It's G-Roc AND Bo Jackson approved. Now who wants to argue with that?"

G-Roc says: "I have so much love and respect for the Air Diamond Turf line. The red Air Diamond Turf II is smokin' hot. Period."

G-Roc says: "Out of all the adidas models, the Stan Smith is my favorite. There's no telling how many pairs I've ran through in my life. So simple, so clean."

G-Roc says: "You better act like you know. In 1996 it was already enough chaos going on in ATL due to the Olympics. Nike released at Air Zoom Turf in 96' and I was in love. Fell in love with the white/royal blue/silver/white color, but I love for both OG colors."

G-Roc says: "The Air Jordan 6 Black/Infrared was my first pair of Jordans. My Mom bought me a pair when I was in 3rd grade. This shoe in this color is amazing!"

G-Roc says: "Most of y'all don't know ish about the Air Trainer SC High colorways. This color right here (Katt Williams voice) will break a neck like no other shoe. If you've ever seen this color is person, you know what I'm talking about. With that said, I'm looking for a DS pair size 8, 8.5, or 9. Holla at the kid!"

G-Roc says: "Honestly, this shoe is so motherlovin' fresh, I really don't even know what to say. I have a lot of respect for the Air Penny line, but the Air Penny II in black/white/royal is the best Air Penny shoe ever made. Yes, I'm taking to you as well Air Foamposite."

G-Roc says: "How do I speak on this shoe without having a Kanye rant? It's impossible, but here we go. So, Nike dropped the Air Trainer SC High to coincide with Bo Jackson's Oakland Raiders days. I was a youngin' when those dropped. Nike later released a retro in 1997, and boy did they do those right. I won't even comment on the 2009 release. My point is: I think this shoe is fire upper with a little yoga flame. I need another pair of the 1997 retro in a size 8 or 8.5. Holla! P.S. - No rant because I decided to not comment on the 2009 retro."

G-Roc says: "The Air Jordan IV is a dope silhouette, but the black/cement colorway is the reason I love this shoe. Don't get me wrong, I like the white/cement, too. However, if I had to pick, I would rock with the black/cement over the white/cement. Please, don't stone me."

G-Roc says: "Words can't explain how fresh the Infrared Air Max 90 is. Go ahead and try, but you'll find yourself stuck trying describe the freshness of this shoe. Let me say that I was a big fan of this shoe before the History of Air Pack released in late 2005. When they dropped in 2005, I was already rocking the 2003 Euro release version with the big air bubble. Ha!"

G-Roc says: "OMG! This is hands down the BEST Air Jordan of all time. Yes, I said it. As a matter of fact, Vashite will back that statement up. The Air Jordan 3 in black/cement is so freaking dope. How ironic that the Air Jordan 3 is my number 3 pick?"

G-Roc says: "There's no denying that this is the best Air Trainer SC High colorway. Nike finally issued a retro in 1998, and I have 2 pairs of the 98 retro and three pairs of the OG's. Nike later hit us with another retro in 2009. The shoe is just hot, and if you think differently, you are in denial."

G-Roc says: "Picking the number 1 spot was between the Air Diamond Turf and Air Trainer SC High. I had to roll with the Air Diamond Turf because this is the first shoe that I can recall that I really wanted. I'll never forget getting a pair of the Air Diamond Turf (white/blk/emerald) in 1993 for Christmas. However, I really wanted the white/blk/red colorway but that color sold out fast in my size."
