The Air Jordan brand is really strong holding on many shoes. The Jordan 12 The Master, The Nike Air Force 1 Mid Charcoal, The Air Jordan Alternate Spring Collection...there seems to always be more and more designs released by brands. It's very interesting to see what that next idea is. You just sit and wait for that next big release, however many releases just end up being updates and upgrades of earlier models that were released.
1. The first item to make my list from 2015 is the Salomon Snowcross CS. Now, I know the name may not be very popular in the sneaker world but I could see how this shoe became a hot sell near the end of Q4 in 2015. The high built design on these shoes some great quality build and good design on the sneaker-boot. I am definitely impressed with the sneaker-boot. This could become a really boss shoe in the winter time. The images speak for itself.

2. Moving on to the second item in the detailed list, we got the Nike Free Flyknit 4.0. (Now, before I get too far into this list, I want you all to know this is not in a rank, this is just the way I have ordered them up. This is by no means my best to worst list, it's just the way I have it aligned.) Now anyways, the Nike Free Flyknit shoe's have never came to me as a real great shoe. I have heard some about them and seen them before but I have never owned or tried on a pair. I am sure they are really light like many say as it shows itself to be one, but yet, I think it would be too light for me. Of course, I don't like to heavy of a shoe, but I like a little bit more balance and fit in my shoes than what a Flyknit offers. However, that's not to say it isn't a good shoe and that there should not be people who buy it. It's a decent shoe with a decent following so I don't think it's having that hard of a time.

3. Stephon Marbury may of not of been the biggest name in basketball or in the basketball sneaker world, but his Starbury sure had it's place in the court. The Starbury may of not of been the flashiest sneaker ever made, but the story behind the sneaker is intriguing. Marbury supplied a shoe that gave a decent life cycle as far as wearing them and they were relatively inexpensive. Some of his sneakers were reported to sell as low as $15 USD at times. A crazy deal given a decent shoe.

4. Carmelo Anthony's 1.5 sneaker is definite heat in my book. Again, it's definitely not the sneaker that many would jump off the bat for, but the sneaker appears to go from $60-130 bucks on the eBay depending on size and condition mainly. There are some pretty decent pairs I seen on there but I have to say, Kicksologists image of the Melo 1.5 is definitely what got me interested on this shoe. This shoe looks pretty nice and is relatively inexpensive.

5. The KD V is another sneaker that may be a bit older in design but looks like a true classic. The sneaker doesn't look to far off from some modern designed ones, and maybe even better then that on some. The sneaker is definitely a unique mix of materials and a decent weight shoe. This colorway in the image I put really makes me like this shoe.

6. The Patrick Ewing Attitude sneaker is one that in brand new condition in the New York Knicks colorway, boy, you can't get any nicer than that. This Knicks colorway is hot on this shoe and shoe looks like a very greatly made shoe. Definitely could see why it became a hot hit for Adidas and Ewing. The Knicks colorway became the most sought after and even had a lot of off court success. I could see why as Adidas does sorta have that reputation for having some styling sneakers drop from their brand. Again, another sneaker that isn't bad at all!

7. Carmelo Anthony reappears in this list with the Jordan Melo 10. (The sneaker list from Kicksologists inspired this article if you may not notice, I have picked and chose some of my more favorite one's that I think were pretty good from that list.) The Jordan Melo 10 originally came out as a anniversary release. The swagger design gave this a heat look and I could see how it could of definitely been game. A very nice design and hot sneaker, I can definitely feel these.

8. The Alonzo Mourning shoe known as the Nike Air Alonzo definitely has it's basketball nature. Mourning being a star player during his short NBA career, definitely had a decent shoe in this 1997 release. The Air Alonzo was made for big players to protect their feet. Definitely a good and reasonable move by Mourning. The sneaker in it's colors gave Mourning a good deal to work with as it matched up for him.

9. Allen Iverson's innovative and crazy designed Reebok Answer I built a line of never before seen greatness. It worked it's way to build the second longest running line after the Air Jordan and still had some great details. Today, Iverson's Answer I is a highly respected shoe and considered by some people a gem in the world of sneakers. Definitely a amazing sneaker for it's time, its sweet to look at and think about the history of this sneaker.

10. Probably the final sneaker on my list is the Reebok Shaq Attack. Shaquille O'Neal put Reebok on their map as he became their first signature athlete. Shaq made the awesome sneaker that is known today as the one in this list. The sneaker is just another classy designed sneaker that I could see having on and off court success. Shaq's feature dunkman debuted with these shoes alongside the basketball looking bubble on the tongue of the shoe. This sneaker is just a really awesome deal.
