Friday Faceoff: Nice Kicks & Complex Pick 2009's Best Sneakers (So Far)

Which kicks have been running the first half of '09? Read on as we debate it with our network partner in this new weekly series.

None


Each week in the Friday Faceoff, the editors of Complex will have an open debate with one of the other websites in the Complex Media Network on a timely topic. We encourage everyone to chime in with comments about our choices, whether you agree or disagree. Don't worry, we can take a sneak-diss or two.

For the first installment of our Friday Faceoff column, we challenged NiceKicks.com Founder and Editor in Chief Matt Halfhill to pick what he thinks are the best sneaker releases of the year thus far. After picking our own Top 5, we went back and forth with Nice Kicks about each others' choices. Let the battle begin...
