Complex Presents Sneaker of the Year

In 1985, Nike released Michael Jordan's first sneaker, the Air Jordan 1, and sneaker culture was born. Now thousands of people line up at Supreme and companies are throwing millions of dollars at LeBron James to keep him in their marketing plans. The trend, which saw steady growth for decades with the rise of sports, hip-hop and sportswear advertising, has exploded into a phenomenon. And no one has looked at that phenomenon more closely than Complex. This year's sneaker explores the past 35 years of sneaker culture with the expertise, authority and passion that only Complex can offer. With vibrant photography and illustrations throughout, as well as input from some of the sneaker world's most important voices, this collection is a must-have for hypebeasts and sneakerheads everywhere.
