If these were a standard GR by Nike: $14.99 on clearance racks easily

I agree...

"$14.99 on clearance racks easily"... and still I wouldn't get them. IMO, I thnk they're just ugly.

[sosmoove]

The shoes are wack. Period. Couldn't see myself coppin these just because of Kanye West. D*mn hype is a motherfloodpucker

you said of this decade? meaning last 10 years, or since 2000?

either way thats way too many shoes for me to think about, but the one that stands out the most to me was....

(last 10 years)

What he said.!

i dont agree with the phrasing of "og design," but yes i understand what you're saying. im gonna have to disagree with the reasoning behindreplies that simply say that it's a shoe taken from parts of other shoes, because this answer can be applied to most any current shoe. i like how theyeezys look, and think it's a fresh design that hasn't been seen. but i wouldnt say it's the best non-retro this decade.

my answer is gonna be the am 360. and even that can be said to take reference to all its predecessors.

I'm a huge Kanye fan... and a fan of the Yeezy's... but that's a stretch if I ever heard one, bro.

So many shoe have been released throughout this decade...

The Yeezy isn't even very inspired.

2K4?
Hyperdunk, ZK1, AZG, LBJ2, ZK3, ZK4, Zoom Drive > Air Yeezy

 

[swingshot]

Kanye's shoe is just like Kanye's music.

Derivative.

It's just another Fusion.

Nike are moving more and more towards "Athletic inspired" shoes, and further away from the performance shoes that helped put them on the map in thefirst place.

 

[bwc1139]

imo alot of the shoes you said about the 90's sat on shelves then and didnt get big till later.

The best OG designed nike...??

How the hell do you "OG design" a new shoe??

That doesn't even make any damn sense.

A new shoe can't have an original design? Or does OG mean something totally different now?

 

[jthagreat]

we cant hear what you sayin. somethin in your ......?

 

[og_Rodney]

LeBron II's, Shox Stunners>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The Yeezy's.


Both those shoes were dope on the court and with jeans.

 

[jbrist33]

Mean I love Kanye and the shoe, but nah..prob not even top 10

[fudoakira]

Silly toy,
The Air Yeezys are for the Fem Bots that follow Kanye.



Best so far: Air Max 360, Hyperdunk, Lebron 3, Kobe 2

are we talking performance and looks combined?? My vote has the ultraflight up there quite high we're going back quite a ways to 2002.... booty design built into a plastic shell.. performance was out of this world.

I was generally talking about the design and I was basing it on shoes released since 2000.

@manglor I should have said the "best non-retro" of this decade and not put the Yeezy in the title. I just did it because that was my
answer to the question.

I'm surprised that no one is upset as I am that the designs from this decade compared to the '90s is not even close. I wanted to start
a dialogue about how and why Nike fell off. I mean, I haven't bought a non-retro Nike or JB shoe besides the Spiz'ike and Dub Zeros
in about 10 years or so. None of the kicks that have been mentioned thus far are hot to me. Whereas when I was coming up, you
would be hard pressed to find a sig shoe that wasn't ill, plus all of the other releases.

why do you think we all buy retro's? you're not the only one copping them. very foolish statement.

 

[trethousandgt]

Best shoe of this decade was the Presto IMO, followed by the first generation air max 360's, then the nike zoom vapor 3 and the Nike zoom lebron I. Theyeezy's are probably one of the worst shoes of the decade.

 

[sneakerlush]

I agree the flightpos are primo thats why i have the gold and the eggplants and i'm waitin on the metallics.
