<\/a>This was a great year to be a sneakerhead. From Countdown Packs, to Supra sneakers, to retro-releases, we received some of the hottest drops in a long time (see Thankful<\/a>).<\/p>\n

However, as sneakerheads, we are always looking over our shoulders for the latest trends and newest releases. Over the last couple of months, we have received photos of some of the most highly-anticipated sneakers of 2009.<\/p>\n

With that said, our Snkrs Day staff created a list of nine sneakers for you to look forward to this upcoming this year. Click the Snkrs Day photo to view nine sneakers to stack your money up for ’09. What do you have your eye on for this upcoming year?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

9. Supra Terry Kennedy Pro Model
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

2008 was undoubtedly Supra’s year. They took over the skate world by dropping sneakers at an alarming rate. With that said, it will be hard for them to match that in 2009. However, the Terry Kennedy Pro Model has been highly anticipated since photos have surfaced. What a way to kick off the year! Is Supra going to run the skate world again this year?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. Jordan True Flight
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, many people have been inquiring about the release of this shoe. The Jordan True Flight is equipped with added herring bone traction, a flatter sole, and Zoom Air making this sneaker obviously more basketball-ready than the Air Jordan 7. That is where the comparisons stop though! Look for these to hit retailers in mid-January.<\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

7. 2009 Nike Air Force 1 Releases
\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

It is always a wonder to see what Nike will do with the Air Force 1 each year. In 2009, Nike seems to be applying the “cement” effect in a variety of ways. This particular sneaker features the cement print in paint-drip design. Others we have seen contain a cement-filled toe box. Do not get stuck in cement stomping in your Air Force 1’s this year.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

6. Nike KD1 – Kevin Durant’s 1st Signature Sneaker
\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Besides Kobe’s fourth signature sneaker, the Nike KD1 is arguably the most anticipated Nike basketball sneaker of 2009. The fact that he told Nike he wanted a sneaker that will be affordable for most people speaks volumes about his character. Although Durant has laced up those Nike Air Blue Chip PEs<\/a> night in and night out, we should expect to see him wearing the Nike KD1 at the top of the year. Durant’s first signature sneaker will hit retailers in February.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. New Balance MT850
\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n

Much like last year’s arrival of the New Balance MT580 in the U.S., the New Balance M850 is sure to be hit in March 2009.?? Knowing New Balance and their commitment to quality and comfort, these look to be quite promising.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Nike Air Griffey Max 1
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

One of Nike’s classic sneakers will finally be retroed in 2009. The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 debuted in 1996 and many have waited until this moment. The Varsity Royal\/White-Black-Volt will drop in June, while the OG colorway (White\/Black-Fresh Water-Varsity Red) will drop in April.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Nike Zoom Kobe 4
\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Ever since Kobe Bryant debuted this sneaker, many questions have been brought up as to why he would choose a low-cut sneaker. However, this sneaker has a few benefits such as it being the lightest basketball sneaker ever created. This sneaker has grown on many people since the inaugural photos. Look for these to hit retailers in mid-January.<\/p>\n

\n

\n


\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

2. Jordan CP3 2
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Not too many people were enthused about the arrival of the Jordan CP3 1; however, the second installment of Chris Paul’s signature sneaker line seems to be three times better (pun intended this time). Set for a March 2009 release date, the Jordan CP3 2 is sure to be one of the best Jordan sellers. With Carmelo Anthony slumping lately, could CP be the new face of Jordan Brand?<\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

1. Nike Air Yeezy
\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Kanye has been waiting until he gets his money right…literally. Fresh off of the heels of debuting his upcoming Pastelle clothing line and Louis Vuitton sneakers, the Nike Air Yeezy will finally release in March 2009. We have been teased by photos of Kanye and his entourage wearing the Nike Air Yeezy’s throughout 2008. The Yeezy will either be a hot-seller or a heartbreak!<\/p>\n

Other 2009 Releases to look for:<\/p>\n

1. Nike Foamposite “Eggplant”<\/a> – This is arguably the best colorway seen on the Foamposite, and the anticipation for these is ridiculous. The Nike Flightposite “Eggplant” held us over for awhile, but many people are looking over their shoulder for this release.<\/p>\n

2. Air Jordan 2009<\/a> – It will be interesting to see where Jordan Brand goes with this one. Many of you have written JB off upon seeing photos of these. Will it be great or garbage?<\/p>\n

3. Air Jordan 1 Retro Mid “Infrared”<\/a> – The “Infrared” application on the Air Jordan Retro 1 gives it an eye-catching look, to say the least. We saw the removable strap Air Jordan 1 Retro in 2008. Will JB just leave the Air Jordan 1 alone for awhile?<\/p>\n

4. Nike Air Huarache x Nike Air Force 1<\/a> – As part of Nike ACG???s 20th anniversary releases, this Nike Air Force 1 ???Air Huarache???<\/strong> will be debut in the summer of 2009. Just the idea of combining two classic Nike sneakers, makes this a sneaker to look out for.<\/p>\n

5. Air Jordan 1 Retro Mid “Hare”<\/a> – While many people were happy to see the Air Jordan 7 “Hare” return in 2008, it remains to be seen how sneaker heads will react to this “Hare” release. This time around, they even included a “Hare” Jordan for the ladies (see Lola Bunny<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What kicks are you looking forward to?\n<\/p>\n
