“Basically, I live the Complex lifestyle.”

That’s how Dallas Penn describes his love of fashion, sneakers and other collectible items, and now the man behind Internets Celebrities and various other web-based projects has earned his shot at voicing his top 25 kicks of all time via Mark Ecko’s web mag. Penn’s list, while not full of obscure picks designed to pander to the sneakerhead elite, certainly has a bit more variety than the average Air Jordan and Air Max-dominated list we’ve come to expect from these guest spots, and in fact, the only two Jays on the list would have to rank among the unlikeliest of choices. The man clearly loves him some Mowabb and the top 5 is nothing like you might expect, with only one obligatory nod, so click through for a sampling and then head over to Complex to see Dallas Penn’s Top 25 Sneakers of All-Time.
