\u201cI’m lookin for ur ALL TIME top 10 Nike Signature shoes? Who thinks they know?\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, we have some ideas. Browse through our ranking of the 10 of Nike’s best signature sneaker lines, and then hit our comment section to share your favorites.<\/p>\n

10. Kevin Durant<\/h2>\n

Kevin Durant is only 25, but his signature line is already six years old. Since joining the Nike team,\u00a0Durant has always had the lowest-priced signature kicks from the Swoosh, but the lower price point doesn’t equate to a dip in performance. Over the last few years, the KD line has become one of the most popular signature series on the hardwood, from the NBA down to high school courts.<\/p>\n

Ken Griffey Jr. put in work for over two decades in the MLB, and no matter how you felt about the Kid,<\/em>\u00a0you know he left a major mark on the baseball diamond. Not only did he make dazzling outfield plays and maintain a silky smooth swing, every time he stepped up to the plate he brought style to America’s game.\u00a0His signature Air Griffey Max line from Nike has been sought after by collectors for years and continues to shine.<\/p>\n

8. Sheryl Swoopes<\/h2>\n

\"Sheryl<\/p>\n

Sheryl Swoopes<\/strong>\u00a0can hoop with the best of them. Often referred to as the \u201cfemale Michael Jordan\u201d throughout her career, Swoopes broke women\u2019s basketball barriers by becoming the first woman ever drafted to the WNBA. Another extremely important fact about Ms. Swoopes is that she was the first women to ink a deal with Nike. Swoopes soon became the first woman to receive a signature line with any brand.<\/p>\n

7. Kobe Bryant<\/h2>\n

Kobe’s dominance on the court carries over to his Nike signature series. When the Zoom Kobe IV debuted, it was one of the first low-top signature sneakers to be designed and developed for such a star. Soon after, many players dropped the top on their kicks and started playing in low-cut models. That innovation has continued all the way through the Kobe 9, which flipped the script to fit Kobe in one of the highest cut performance sneakers we have ever seen.<\/p>\n

\"Bo<\/p>\n

Bo Jackson was one of the first NFL athletes with a signature shoe in the late ’80s. Arguably the greatest athlete on earth, Bo Jackson was the first to successfully play both professional baseball and professional football. His need for versatile workout sneakers lead to the creation of the Nike Training line.<\/p>\n

The fifth pick in the 1984 NBA Draft, Charles Barkley signed with Nike at the same time as draft classmate Michael Jordan. Even though he didn’t receive a signature silhouette for some time after signing, once his first signature was produced, Nike never looked back.<\/p>\n

4. Andre Agassi<\/h2>\n\n

Andre Agassi’s rock and roll persona changed tennis in the early ’90s. The man behind the racquet scored many endorsements over his career, but none as big as Nike. His energetic signatures changed public perception of tennis shoes. As the ambassador of futuristic silhouettes like the Nike Air Challenge Huarache, he added flair and technology to a sport based on tradition. Now that Agassi is back with Nike, his signature series is sure to keep making waves for years to come.<\/p>\n

Since then, the Nike LeBron line has continued to live up to very high expectations with the unveiling of each of King James’ signature shoes.<\/p>\n

Although Penny hasn’t played in the NBA for over five years, it’s almost like he never left, as Nike is still dropping new signature silhouettes. However, it’s the classic silhouettes like the Nike Air Foamposite One and the Air Penny 1 that got him on this list, not to mention his unforgettable marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n

1. Michael Jordan<\/h2>\n

When Michael Jordan opted for Nike instead of adidas prior to his rookie season, no one knew that decision would drastically change the landscape of sneaker culture. MJ’s high flying antics helped launch Nike into a league of their own, placing them solidly at the forefront of the footwear industry.<\/p>\n
