Complex’s The 25 Best Sneakers From 1988

25 Best Sneakers 1988 02

The quarter-century mark has been an well-emphasized milestone for pretty much anything that’s lasted that long. 2012 served as the perfect podium for several 1987 classics, and this year, we should expect more of the same – that is, in terms of Retro releases that originated in ’88. Complex took the time to count down their 25 faves from that heralded year, which include the Nike Air Revolution, the original Asics Gel Runner, the Nike Air Tech Challenge, the New Balance 1500, and of course, the Air Jordan III. Check out some the included shoes below and head to Complex for the entire bit.
