[1] PIGEON DUNK SB

While the Air Jordan XI was helped out by the recent memories of Christmas Day jubilation, the release of Jeff Staple’s Nike SB Dunk Low Pro ‘Pigeon’ goes a little further back in time. Then again, you might convincingly argue that had Staple’s Pigeon Dunks not caused a riot in New York, that the entirety of sneakerhead culture might be drastically different. This is a shoe that many believe started the current wave of sneaker culture, a release event that set the tone for ravenous collectors and a steadily-growing hype machine. Is being the grail that reignited a whole subculture enough to make the Pigeon SB Dunks our Sneaker News March Madness Tournament Champion?

[2] AIR JORDAN XI

Did the greatest season in NBA history coincide with the release of the greatest sneaker of all time? In 1995, Michael Jordan began his first full season back in the league wearing a shoe that broke necks when it was spotted in the previous year’s playoffs, the Air Jordan XI. Its use of carbon fiber and patent leather demanded respect and with a 72-win season and an appearance in the movie Space Jam, it became synonymous with the absolute peak of Michael Jordan’s dominance. Nearly fifteen years after the OGs dropped, the Space Jam retro rendered retailers helpless in a way only rivaled by its competitor in this tournament. Does unparalleled excellence plus humongous hype make the Air Jordan XI the best sneaker in history?

Now it’s your turn to decide…
