TOP TEN OF 2009

10. SUPRA SKYTOP 2

This one sneaked into my top 10, the Skytop has been one of the most successful designs and the follow up was always going to be a challenge, they look great on the page i'm not sure what they will be like in the flesh but I just wish I had a pair...

9. KANYE WEST X LOUIS VUITTON

I had sleepless nights deciding wether to put these in my top 10, but despite Kanye losing his mind and despite the haters these look so good especially when I tried them on in the shop, the colorway is perfect and the detailing such as the lace tassles is bonkers but beautiful, wish i'd had the cash...

8. NIKE STEPHAN JANOSKI

This is my undercover champion of the year, so perfectly styled for this year bringing the boat shoe, outdoor and vulcanised sole aspects together yet still keeping its SB identity. They have flown off the shelves and expect this is be a staple SB for many years to come...

7. ADIDAS ZEITFREI

Fixed gear became a force during 2009 and this new model with its super clean, simple and futuristic design with 3M materials was a perfect match for its use, plis with a release of only 50 pairs to the public super limited, ive got my pair have you...

6. PATTA AIR MAX SERIES

Patta has not put a foot wrong all year, with so many colaborations it was easy to slip up but they were on point every single time, this series shines above the other Max's this year...

5. JORDAN III TRUE BLUE

CLASSIC, Nuff said...


4. TC AZ NIKE DUNK

If someone had told me they put a vulcanised sole on a Dunk I would have probably slapped them, until I saw these, this dunk is proof to all the haters this year, simple colorways still turn heads...

4. REEBOK PUMP 20'S

Reebok are back, and what better way than to prove it than celebrating argueably their best ever the Reebok Pump, 20 years, 20 companies, 20 designs, best campaign of the year...

2. SNEAKER FREAKER X NEW BALANCE 'SKIPPY'

Skippy bounced in at number 2 for me this year, this design is stunningly beautiful, they say its all in the details and this one has it all, even down to the extra padding in the tongue and the outmeal/white sole SF hits the spot...

1. NIKE AIR YEEZY

The Dream, The Hype, The Queues, The Excitement, 2009 was the Year of the Yeezy. Despite the inevitable Marmite effect over the design NO ONE can argue that this trainer has changed the game... Sorry...
