Lebron XI "Away"
"Sure, they're not the most heralded colorway of LeBron's best shoe yet, but they won't make you look like a Bar Mitzvah magician and that's gotta count for something."
Nike Air Python white/black
"If fashion bros were ever in good enough shape to be professional athletes, the Air Python would be their pro model."
Diemme python slip-ons
"These are made from real python, cost $625, and are illegal in the state of California."
Jordan V "Oreo"
"These would've been higher, but my editorial assistant copped a pair before me, thus ruining them forever."
Nike Independence Day Air Max 90 Hyperfuse pack
"Each shoe in the pack represents a seminal moment in what was a banner year for Kanye West.
Red = Strugtobers for every Hypebeast who couldn't get his hands on the real thing.
White = Ye stepped out in these the first time he wore his instantly sold out Kanye x A.P.C. capsule collection.
Blue = Getting wild brolic on a paparazzo."
A.P.C. x Nike Air Max 1 white/gum
"These got absolutely fucking destroyed after being worn outside for, like, 10 minutes, but there wasn't a cleaner shoe fresh out the box in 2013."
Sandro hi-top black
"Normally, I'm against messing with the classics, but sometimes-SOMETIMES-someone comes along with their chisel and against all odds improves upon Mount Rushmore. Sandro took the Sk8 Hi, added high-end leather and suede, and made a shoe too pretty to ever skate in."
Air Jordan IV "Toro"
"Red sneakers everywhere. Gotta send Ye a gift basket or some shit for making them the most #relevant #color #of #2013."
Y-3 Qasa high black/white
"Ya boy Yohji is actually back at the house that he built with adidas and the results are astounding. After a few years of lackluster shit, Y-3 dropped their Qasa and mall ninjas everywhere popped a bone cone."
Air Jordan I Black/Royal
"Pretty much a no brainer if there ever was one. Arguabley the best sneaker of all time done up in the best colorway of all time (black/kinda-sorta-not-really-but-close-enough to navy)."
