If there's one thing that DJ Clark Kent knows, it's sneakers. As one half of the duo that makes up Complex TV's Quickstrike, Clark gets a first-hand look at the latest and greatest kicks in the game. He couldn't keep his picks for the best sneakers of the year just to 10, so here are DJ Clark Kent's Top 15 Sneakers of 2013.

15. Air Jordan V "Doernbecher"

"Amazing Execution. Great Cause. Incredible story."

14. Air Jordan I "Black/Royal"

"If I have to explain, you probably shouldn't be reading Complex.com."

13. Nike x Atmos Air Max 90 Camo Pack

"Atmos never goes wrong. Both Shoes in the set are sick."

12. Air Jordan I "Black/Gold"

"One word: SUPERFIRE."

11. Nike Free Flyknit HTM

"Flyknits are great. HTM Flyknits are better. And, the Free HTM Flyknit, continues in the same fashion. I could say, they are insanely comfortable. But, I would hear arguments from people who never tried them on, let alone have ever seen a pair in person. Perfect travel shoes."

10. Air Jordan III '88

"Nostalgia."

9. New Balance 1600 "Daytona"

"Ronnie's BEST shoe, period.... (So far)"

8. Burn Rubber x New Balance 577

"Rick & Ro Killed these. Joe Louis. Clean colorway. Premium materials. Great story. Violin case. Crazy."

7. Operator Emz x adidas Pro Model

"DJ Emz is a pure sneaker guy. Designed the Pro Model as perfect as possible. When you see them (in person.. Good luck), you will understand."

6. Nike Lebron X "What the MVP"

"Might be a little much for the average consumer, but they were ill to me."

5. Air Jordan IV "Fear Pack"

"Air Jordan IV. Black. Gray. White. I'm done here."

4. Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 PRM

"Perfect. Hommyo and the Atmos team are incredible."

3. Packer Shoes x Reebok Question "For Player Use Only"

"The impossible..made possible."

2. Air Jordan I "Black/Red"

"Without the story (multiple fines) surrounding this shoe, there is no sneaker 'hype.' This should be as available as a white-on-white Nike Air Force 1s. Always."

1. Nike LeBron XI "Kings Pride"

"The Machine. This shoe has everything in it. Made for The King. Every time I look at it, I think it's going to transform. Jason Petrie is a stone cold beast."
