Best Sneakers Of The Year #3: Jordan x Fragment Design AJI
It hasn’t even released yet, but here it is, #3 on my Top 5 Kicks Of 2014 list. “Why?” you might be saying. “Why would you rank a shoe that hasn’t even dropped yet so highly?” Well there’s a few reasons for that, and if you read on, you’ll find out.
First and foremost, as you know if you’ve read almost any other article on the site, the Jordan I is my favorite Jordan model of all time. Nothing else even comes close. Crispy and brand new or beaten up and dirty, they look great either way, and the silhouette really works with anything.

Staff Pickups: Jordan I “Melo”
This week, I grabbed a pair of the “Melo” Jordan I’s from my good friends over at Studiiyo23. With the crazy black and gold color scheme and the new box, it was a must-grab pair for me, especially because as everyone knows, I’s are my favorite Jordans of all time. Check out a few snaps of the shoe (and the new packaging!) below!

Best Sneakers Of The Year #4: Supreme x Nike Air Force 1
The countdown is back. We started off last week with #5….and here’s #4. The #4 sneaker of 2014 is the…
Supreme x Nike Air Force I
Take a classic model that’s always been associated with New York. Take New York’s most prominent and successful streetwear brand Supreme. Take a simple base colorway with loud all-over branding and what do you have? That’s right, you’ve got the Supreme Air Force I. Nike and Supreme have linked up in the past for everything from SB Dunks to Bruins to Foamposites (and even an Air Force I Low), but these Air Force I Highs might be one of their best collaborative efforts to date.

Best Sneaker Of The Year #5: Bape x Reebok Instapump Fury
It’s the end of the year, so that means I’m obligated to post an end-of-year “best of list”. There were a lot of dope kicks this year, and it was very hard to narrow them down to 5, but after deliberation both alone and with the KicksOneTwo staff and homies, I was able to get it done.
A few things to keep in mind while reading this list: this is a personal opinion. This is my personal top 5, not the 5 shoes that had the most impact on the industry or changed the game the most (although that is factored in). This is about the five kicks released this year that I enjoyed the most. Also, I’m not including any re-released retro models as that would be copping out. It’s top 5 new models.

“But wait” you might say. “I can’t buy shoes for everyone on my list, that’s outrageously expensive”. Great! That’s where this handy article comes in. I’ve got some of the best Christmas gifts for the sneakerhead on your list, and what’s even better is that they’re all available at local retailers.
