The 100 Best Sneakers of The 2000s

What year did you get into the shoe game? No matter what year it was, we know most of you remember all the HEAT thats dropped over the past years. Without thinking too hard, what would you say is the best sneaker of the 2000’s so far? That’s a tough one, right? Well, Complex put together an extensive list of The 100 Best Sneakers of The 2000’s. Check it out and try not to get emotional as you travel back down memory lane.
The Tiffany SB Dunk was ranked #4, so who’s holding down the #1 spot? Who ever it is, let’s just say their Undefeated! After you check out the feature, hit up the comments and let us know what you think.
Feature: The 100 Best Sneakers of The 2000’s









I remember wanting a pair of ESPO’s as if it was yesterday. Tiffany’s are too sexy, and I still slap myself for not taking advantage of getting Stash BW’s for the low-low. And why did I sell my Send Helps & Grapes??? smh
this list is 100X better than the dunk list they made. Its actually believable
list is wack ecept for number 1
no spacejams no playstation forces no freedy sbs atleast
this list is horrible an u can tell some lame just threw
stuff togther an dont no shit about heat
Dont you have the UNDFTD 4’s G-roc?
Ricardo – Nope!
Laney V’s or the Space Jam XI’s would have been a better #1. Also, the Eminem IV’s are better then the UNDFTD IV’s.
what happen to the number 11 concords that is bs
list was GARBAGE!…. well not the entire list but i coulda easily cut over half of those shoes out.
i really liked what was no.1
but wheres the undftd dunk high nl?
Obviously I don’t have the time in the world to go through the whole list, but I did check out the top ten and I think its seriously effed up. Fail. Much respect to the Tiffany’s though, I still have my pair untouched in the box with the idea to whip em out say, 2020 -_-
Heck no No.1 undefeated fours? Those things are WAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too over hyped, freaking army green and citrus orange. GTFO the Carmines were way better then those, pshhh freaking Spiz’ikes are better then those.
This list is idiotic. Nike takes up most of the top 20 spots. That’s biased crap right there. For me, the best release of the 2000’s is the new Converse Weapon Evo.
^i agree
Not with converse king lol he’s delusional lol but the fours are nothin but extremely limited release hype
NO FOAMS @ ALL???????????
i would have liked to see grapes on the list… my favorite of my collection
XX3’s is my favorite sneaker from the past 10yrs.
I regret letting my grapes go.. :/
This list blows…..
were the retro pearl foams(not hoh) on the list?
(didnt feel like going through the whole list because it started off wack)
I can’t believe that the Yeezy’s were ahead of the DQM AM 90s..And where were the Infrared 90’s??..No Barkleys?..No Penny’s?..No Agassi’s?..These were all classic shoes that everyone wore back in the day and again with the retros..Seems like they went strictly on hype alone..Whatever the staff at Complex is on, they need to share it with the rest of us..
Who ever picked this list has obvious favoritism. Just reading the description of each shoe lets you know. This list should have been called: The top 100 Nike shoes or The top 100 great and worst collaborations. How the f@ck do you not include the AM90 Infrared? That list was so inconsistent and lacked substance. Bad Complex, Real bad!!!
DMP 11’s
Space Jams
Cool Grey 11’s
Laney 5’s
Grape 5’s
Carmines
Air Max 94 CB
Foamposite One’s
Black/Gold Patent Leather 1’s……… along with others were a lot a better in my opinion and better than a good percentage of what was listed. But once again, that’s my opinion. I’ve been in the shoe game since ‘96 and following TSG since early ‘07. I haven’t commented in a long time, but I couldn’t hold back on this list. Thanks for all the news and great work you do G-Roc.
wack…only 3 pairs of jordans?…all 4s….no cement iiis or even infrared….converse with the react juice didnt make it?..wtf?
@ converse king, bro you are wack fam lmfao!
i agree with the rest…this list is doo doo!!! i mean i only went through the top 20 or so but cmon way to many SBs….and as much as im over JB, there shoulda been more than just the three pairs of 4s…WEAK!
horrible list. waste of time
I kinda agree with Hyphy J Lover…..I’d have to throw the Carmines and the DMP 11’s up there, and I don’t personally care for either, but they smash some of the other trash listed…..Tiffs suck monkey balls…..oh, and I’d KILL for the camo Super Ape Stars.
..just realized something! They can put Patta but not Solebox? WTF!? Anything they done burns through the ground! Complex should stay away from sneakers..smh
Man no pearl foams no grapes no space jams the lsit could go on seems like most of this list was based off the biggest collabos and how limited i agree wit some but come one now lol
I see alot of people are tripping about what made the list but remember this is only the 2000s…we should know that the list would dominated by collabs and Pink/Black box SBs, there were however some hot Retros released and even some new J’s (depending on who you ask). For them to put the LBJ 7s on there and they haven’t even released though…questionable. What abotu the Zoom Generation 1st games? Air Maxes got love, but most of the list was like the last 2 years…and word not one POSITE (Foam or Flight)made the list??
OH MY GOD THIS LIST SUCKS HORRIBLY HERE ARE THE OFFICIAL TOP 5 SHOES OF ALL TIME
1.GREEN BEAN FUSION 12
2.6 RINGS HOF
