10. Hanon x New Balance 1500

Ronnie says: "My good friends over at Hanon have a serious winner with this colorway. I respect those dudes and I'm happy I was able to get my hands on them, awesome coloway and quality."

9. Nonnative x New Balance 997

Ronnie says: "Have you ever seen beige look this good? I applaud Nonnative for thinking outside the box with this colorway and executing with such great materials."

8. Nike Air Woven Leather Free

Ronnie says: "These aren't for everyone. I could see myself pulling these out of the closet in 15 years and wearing them, timeless."

7. RF x ASICS GEL Lyte III "Selvedge"

Ronnie says: "This release represents the 1-year anniversary for Kith. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate."

6. RF x Puma Disc Blaze OG "Cove"

Ronnie says: "I love the Disc. Reworking the upper on a classic silhouette was truly an honor, the special in-store packaging was amazing and the future is looking bright for the brand."

5. Air Jordan IV Retro "Bred"

Ronnie says: "These would be in my top two for the year if I didn't have two pairs from '08 on deck. Classic."

4. Nike Air Max 90 Infrared Hyperfuse

Ronnie says: "My favorite Nike Air Max souped up. So very clean, the Infrared colorway will never die. Ever."

3. Nike Lunar Flyknit HTM NRG

Ronnie says: "Most people don't know what HTM stands for. I do. Crack. This shoe will be remembered as one of the greatest in years to come. The Flyknit will only get stronger, and these started it all."

2. Nike Air Yeezy 2

Ronnie says: "It was a big year for Kanye West."

1. Nike Free Inneva Woven

Ronnie says: "Why? Hand woven, comfortable, black, Free sole, very rare, can dress up or down, easy to slip on or off (my go-to airport shoe). When Nike goes premium with NSW it's always amazing, but this is on another level."
