The 50 Greatest Running Shoes of All Time

There’s a general consensus that the Air Jordan Legacy peaked in MJ’s early years and that the series hasn’t been quite the same since Michael Jordan swished the ‘Lasth Shot’, but does a similar common sense exist for running kicks?  European sneakerheads have long professed a love of ‘trainers’ even beyond basketball kicks (as might be the opposite of the stateside sneakerhead population), and Complex has finally set out to determine the all-time best.  As per the usual, the list has its fair share of safe picks, cult favorites and some you may have never seen before, but did they get the ordering right?  Click through to see a sampling of what’s in store then head over to Complex for the list in its entirety.
