The man behind the 800+ pair sneaker collection, SneakerNews.com and Freshness Magazine, and a focal point in a recent CNBC investigative report on sneakers is Yu-Ming, sneakerhead aficionado and curator of the footwear culture. He could easily name 200 pairs but giving a strict limitation of 50 pairs, Yu-Ming detailed his fifty favorite kicks of all time. He’s got love for all brands and for all types of availablity, stuff that are reserved for friends and family and others that you can simply walk in a store and pick up on your own. ‘Air Max’ is a resounding theme in this list of fifty but you’ll find some other brands sprinkled in there as well, so check out a sample of Yu-Ming’s Top 50 shoes of all-time and hit up Complex.com for the full feature.
