Honorable Mention: Kicks HI x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star

Clark says: "I always thought Chuck's were cool.. Never really wore them too tough. But when I saw the tiger camo on the Kicks-HI... I made it my business to track down two pair of them. They are sick. (Big Thank You to Dave at St. Alfred!!)"

Honorable Mention: Air Jordan V "Tokyo"

Clark says: "I'm not usually the guy who likes Jordans that Mike didn't play in. But, Vs are my 3rd favorite Jordan shoe, and I personally think this colorway looks incredible. (Wish I had three pair.)"

Honorable Mention: Nike Air Force 1 Hyperfuse "Solar Red"

Clark says: "I usually don't like changes to classic AF1's, but Hyperfuse are dope. And this colorway is SICK. I searched three continents to find them, because they were not released in the US. Thanks to some VERY GOOD people in Portland, Japan, France & China, I got three pair."

Honorable Mention: Nike Air Force 1 "Bearbrick"

Clark says: "Beautiful. That is all."

10 10. Crooked Tongues x New Balance 1500 "Black/Orange"

Clark says: "1500's are super comfortable. Add the dope colorway... and you have another great Crooked Tongues collaboration. (Congrats Gary & Mubi!!)"

9 9. Frank the Butcher x adidas Originals Forum Hi "Hustler's Crest"

Clark says: "These were pure money when they came out back in the days. My brother Frank The Butcher brings them back in pure CLASSIC form. And, he did it perfectly. (Congrats to my friend Frankie!)"

8 8. Nike Zoom KD IV "Weatherman"

Clark says: "I slept on the KD IV crazy, but when I saw the "Christmas" & "Nerf," I thought they were sick. But the "Weatherman" is my favorite. GREAT shoe."

7 7. Nike Air Force 1 "Finish Your Breakfast"

Clark says: "White on whites are the best shoes ever created. Add gum bottoms, more insanity. Throw in the tribute to my man John "Franchise" Strickland... Speechless. (Shouts to my boy Killa Will Perkins on the great work)"

6 6. Nike Air Force 1 "Year of the Rabbit"

Clark says: "My boy Rocky Xu did an amazing design job on these shoes. The details are sick. Throw in the crazy packaging... Perfect execution."

5 5. Nike LeBron 8 "112"

Clark says: "(Would I be wrong to say this was the best LeBron 8, period? I'm just saying)"

4 4. Run DMC x adidas Originals "My adidas"

Clark says: "adidas Superstar 80's are GREAT Classic shoes. Pair that with the RUN DMC details.. Incredible tribute. Perfect presentation. (Shouts to Jon Wexler & Leila Momen-Safaii at adidas for hooking me up!)"

3 3. Nike Air Foamposite One "Royal"

Clark says: "Perfect... (So glad these came back out!)"

2 2. Air Jordan XI "Concord"

Clark says: "I don't think I have to explain why these shoes are on my list. Concords along with Black/Cement III's, are in my opinion the two best Jordans ever made. Followed closely by True Blue III, White/Cement III, Space Jam & Bred XI. (I must get 10 pair, minimum.)"
