HAHA, you decide whats #1
-
Some damn nice shoes on that list , really loved the Ellingtons , Koston , Mariano , MJ shoes , would love to have some ellingtons or MJs now , maybe I should check ebay .
-
am i blind or are there no Vans Rowleys on there? because if no, that list aint worth nothing.
(but it brought back some good memories.)

46 is Rowleys XLTs
Also, I'm hyped people outside Slap still love them half cabs.
-
supra skytop is on there?? the vision street wear hightop at 13?? this smells like a non-skater was behind it.
-
Yeah, this seems a lot more like "50 most memorable shoes" than "50 greatest"
-
Cant see this on my phone... But is sal 23 isnt top 2 this list sucks

Emerica-Templeton's 1st Shoe
-
Definitely agree with half cabs as the top pick. Reynolds 1 and Emerica MJ 1 should prlly be ranked higher, as everyone was wearing those for about 5 years straight.
-
Bored at work, so I listed down all the shoes I have owned from the list:
fallen rival (given to me), ipath cats, nike bruin, osiris d3 (grade nine, first day of school swag), es scheme, chuck taylor, dc lynx, nike prod, nike blazer, es accel, nike dunk, koston 1s, old school, sk8 hi, era and half cabs. Brought back some memories. The scrazy thing is that this probably is an insanely small fraction of the shoes I have destroyed skating in over the years.
-
templeton 1 and 2
kirchart 1 and 2
-
Probably my favourite shoe of all time, pretty underrated IMHO.

Two of my all time favorite shoes growing up.
-
All the skateboard related lists at Complex are stupid.
-
not a bad list imo. my favorite out of all those shoes is probably the KCK's. god, those shoes are perfect. Duffs needs to reissue them while they're still in business.
and were the Vans Carroll's not on there? that one should've been there instead of some of those Circas or Fallens.
they also had Muska's Supra and Es pro shoes, but i really wanted to see this one on there
(http://skate.ly/library/img/print-ads/large/circa-footwear-muska-cm901-model-1999.jpg)
i want those, some KCK's and some damn airwalks now.
see what you've done? fuck you, marc ecko
(and we all knew the half-cabs were gonna be #1. anything else would be pretty blasphemous)
-
those kck's were really nice looking, but rock hard for the first 2 months.
duffs stramboli were a cool 90s shoes.
-
they put the ipath cats up there, but not the reeds or grasshoppers?
-
I am willing to drop 500 bucks on some KCK's....any size any color....
-
accels should be in the top 10, not number 12
-
complex has no business writing about skateboarding.

I think these should be top 5, and I think you are a fucking jackass.

if you work for the govt imma be bummed
-

agreed
-
i love that the reynolds 1 is a picture of "the boss"
and rowley classics definitely should have been on there.
-
that list is fucked, there is only 6 pairs of vans...
-
Jordan 1's being ranked higher than the Sal 23's is regular imo.
-
The OG Manchester blows the select out of the water. This list is bullshit
-
they might as well have put the chet IV's on there since they listed D3's
i hated that mariano shoe and the es scheme
-
The random Fallen shoes seem out of place.
So is Vans still the #1 skateboard shoe?
-
The random Fallen shoes seem out of place.
I read some of the descriptions of the shoes. The one for Jamie's shoe said they put it on the list because he did what few skaters ever do...Start their own shoe company. I've never skated the shoes, but that just seems like an odd reason to add them to the list.
Also the p-rod SB was on the list b/c it was the first pro model shoe nike released for a skater.
Maybe the criteria they used for greatness is based on overal impact, and not overall skatability.

Damn, I forgot that Rec Specs were part of The Muska's kit for a while. Dude is amazing.
-
O.G. Etnies Raps were my favorites. Sal23's were money as well.
-
The Randy 720 is #3, never seen that one before. looks exactly like the era or cruiser.
