If this were a political argument, somebody would accuse Complex of flip-flopping. As it stands, this is just a list of what one group of magazine editors thought were the best kicks from the last decade, so maybe we can reserve the name calling for a more serious forum. They came back with 10 more sneakers that just missed the cut. The list itself is just like the 100 before it: you could easily hollar about what’s there and what’s not. Key points to take away from this include: Complex purposely omitted most Jordan retros to avoid clogging the list; limited distribution is a selling point for some kicks but not for the Solebox ‘Purple Devil’ New Balance 1500s; and finally, that the Nike Air Max 90 was released in 1990. We’re guessing you know that, and that you know there are more photos after the jump.

Lol, DMP didn’t make it? That was an instant classic that started a new trend of packaging 2pair of kicks. Military4s & Cool grey4s sz10 DS for sale, chkmyftwrk@yahoo.com.

what are we talking about. Seriously, how in the world did the cool greys not make top 5. Top 100! The cool grey Jordan IX would make top 100 of any list (i.e. top inventions of all time). The DMPs was the craziest release of my life. Like for real the people at Complex are just dumb.

Who cares what complex has to say. Just seeing their dunk list, you know they don’t know what they’re talking about. Everything with them is “sick”. Like comon, is that the only cool word you know?
