15. Palace x adidas Primeknit Pro
Supreme sure is the rage Stateside, but Palace has been incredibly consistent in remaining true and relevant when it comes to skate and street culture overseas. While adidas was right on the money by betting on the likes of Jeremy Scott, Kanye West, Raf Simons and countless others, teaming with this London label has proven another jackpot for The Three Stripes.
14. Air Jordan 4 White/Cement
When the Air Jordan 4 released in “Tech Grey” back in 2012 feelings were mixed to say the least. Remastered, re-released, and re-stocked a plenty, the Air Jordan 4 “Cement Grey” restored the OG feeling for any hoops historian or fashion fan, doing the ’89 classic a true justice.
13. Rihanna x PUMA Fenty Trainer
Aubrey and Kanye are obviously earning their keep at their respective brands, but let’s give it up for Rihanna and PUMA. While the Creepers were a slick upgrade on a timeless favorite, the Fenty Trainer is something new and a hit at that. What’s more? They’re also selling out fur slippers. Yup, this pairing can’t miss.
12. Packer x New Balance MT580
Models like the 999, 1600 and 997 have risen in the ranks of go-to NB silos for boutiques to style. Since the start of ‘x’d out pairings, the MT580 has been a smash. Packer made the most of the chunky trail shoe’s outdoor opulence with this hearty take.
11. Under Armour Curry MVP Pack
Don’t let social media or convienant amnesia fool you: Steph Curry had one hell of a season. In fact, he had back-to-back seasons that were so good Under Armour was able to put out this two-pair MVP pack.
Sure, the “Chef” Curry story should have never made it out of the kitchen, but the proof is most certainly in the pudding on this package that honors the most prolific player on the most prolific team of the last two seasons. Cleveland’s comeback deserves all the credit in the world, but let’s not forget who’s been owing the ESPN App and causing coaches to re-think their entire game plan these last two years.
