Sneakerheadism and hip-hop culture go hand in hand, from their shared basketball influences to the love of beats and rhymes. In recent years, almost as many rappers have gotten shoe deals as ballers have signature models, but let’s not forget it was Run-DMC’s legendary adidas Ultrastar shelltoes that started this trend some twenty-five years ago. In honor of the massive overlapping between kicks and hip-hop, Complex.com put together a feature entitled ‘Fly Society: The Best Hip-Hop Inspired Sneakers of All-Time’. Like all of their lists, this one is sure to draw its fair share of discussion so click through to see a smattering of the top 20 list and head over to Complex to see the article in its entirety.
