Nike Air Yeezy "Tan"
Release Date: 2009
Let’s face it, not many people got a chance to cop Yeezy’s. One of the most hyped shoes in sneaker history thanks to Mr. West’s ability to be a walking brand, these had people scramblin’. Out of the three colorways, these buttery space-sneakers might have been the standout, and we guarantee you’ll never be able to get a pair near the price they dropped years ago.

Air Foamposite Pro "Electric Blue"
Release Date: 2011
Aqua has been the colorway-of-the-moment for Nike, but when the Swoosh decided to drape the Foamposite in it, it meant that much more. The release day of these kicks brought about rumors of violence breaking out, and the sneakers sold out in hours. Nothing better than a classic model getting upgraded in color.

Nike LeBron 8 V/2 Low “Solar Red”
Release Date 2011
The lockout sucks, but these LeBrons have been getting tons of wear off the court by major sneakerheads like Wale. The red colorway pops, and if by chance you’re balling in them, you’ll stand out on the hardwood. Sold out everywhere, so you can only get them here or if you’re in Bron Bron’s inner circle.

Air Jordan Retro III "True Blue"
Release Date: 2011
Ask any sneaker enthusiast where the “True Blue” Jordan 3s rank and they’ll probably tell you top 10 of all time. Worn frequently by everyone from Kanye and Kid Cudi, Jordan Brand could drop this every year, and every year they’ll sell out.
7
Nike Kobe VI All-Star 3D/Hollywood
Release Date: 2011
A gang of Kobe 6’s dropped this year, but none as special as this make-up. The most limited Kobe of the bunch was nearly impossible to get a hold of, and wearing them is guaranteed to break necks. Did we mention they’re 3D? Throw on some glasses and they get that much cooler.
5
Nike Air Max LeBron 7 “DunkMan”
Release Date: 2010
The “Dunkman” LeBron is usually known for it’s neon green and black colorway, and it’s usually one of the most limited LeBrons that are released. These 7s are widely considered one the best LeBron 7s to release in the series. Peep the “Dunkman” logo on the sole. Sick.

Undefeated x Nike Dunk HI
Release Date: 2005
Remember the days when crazy colors were all the rage? These quickstrike UNDFTD Dunks were a Hypebeasts' dream when they released and they’ve just got more valuable as years went on. The sneakers come with three different pair of laces, so mix and match ‘em if you really want to go nuts.

Nike Dunk Hi Supreme Spark le “East”
Release Date: 2009
A Nike SB of the same color scheme dropped, but the quality on these Dunk His are far superior. Designed by DJ Clark Kent, the leather on these Gucci-inspired Dunks feel like luxury.
2
Nike Air Foamposite One "Dirty Copper"
Release Date: 2010
Remember the lines for these? Nike introduced this Copper colorway and fans of the Foams went ape. The shoes sold out around the country in hours and resellers jacked the prices up to a pretty penny. See what we did there? Eh, nevermind.

Air Jordan V Retro Quai 54
Release Date: 2011
Unless you had a overseas connect or were BFFs with Fabolous (who was seen wearing the sneakers), you probably didn’t get a chance to score these super-limited Jordan 5s. The sneaker got its name from the Quai 54 basketball tournament that was held in France, and will never hit U.S. soil—until you lace them up, of course.
