2015 is set to be one of the biggest in terms of shoe releases. In addition to all of the new signature basketball shoes that are set to appear on shelves within the next month, we know of a number of other releases, such as Jordan Brand’s Remastered series, the MAGs and much more.<\/p>\n

In our latest installment of\u00a0Kick Chronicles<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, we, the Snkrs Day staff, identify and detail the shoe at the top of our must-have list for 2015.\u00a0Check out the shoes each of us selected, and share with us the #1 shoe you’re looking to purchase this year.<\/p>\n

adidas Yeezi<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s been a really long time since I’ve wanted a shoe this bad. While I know the design of the adidas Yeezi is still very much subject to change, I think these are great right here. For one, I don’t have a single shoe in my closet that looks like these, while I feel like I’ve already done every retro runner or hoop shoe a hundred times over. The look is mature, progressive and performance driven; everything Kanye represents right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In 2014, fashion was pretty much dominated by tapered, luxury sportswear with items like joggers and Tubulars as the catalysts. I think we’ve seen just about as much in the way of cuffed pants as we can get, and I see street fashion either taking a sharp left or right. If it goes left, I think grunge will really catch on and we’ll see people dressing more like Travi$ Scott or Ian Connor. If it goes right, I think we’ll see more mature, lavish and semi-dressy wear like the stuff Kanye and A$AP Rocky have been wearing lately. These Yeezis are the perfect shoe to grow up a wardrobe without selling out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

PS. I know everyone is hating on the split collar but that’s the best part.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Air Jordan 4 “Oreo”<\/h3>\n

I have been wanting the “Oreo” Air Jordan 4 in my possession for quite some time now. It’s the perfect color scheme to go with pretty much anything in my closet, and it’s such a classic shoe. I have February 21st marked on my calendar.<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 8 “Aqua”<\/h3>\n

While this may be a rumor at the moment the impending release of the Air Jordan 8 “Aqua” definitely tops my list of “must-haves” during the 2015 calendar year. I remember missing out on these back during my sophomore year of High School and my friend Daquan rocked them on a regular basis, thus sparking my interest in them. Rest easy Daquan, hopefully I’ll be able to grab a pair and stunt like you did.<\/p>\n

adidas Superstar<\/h3>\n
Similar to the culture shift initiated by the Stan Smith last year, I anticipate even more influence at the hands of the adidas Superstar in 2015. Strategically, this is a power play by adidas. They’ve been able to re-appropriate many of their foundational silhouettes to current mainstays seemingly overnight and across all genres\/age groups. And I think why people love it so much, why I love it so much, is because it breeds individuality. For example, who wasn’t thinking of twenty different fits when Pharrell Williams debuted the rainbow wheel of Superstars last fall. With special edition anniversary releases, collaborations, etc., we’ll all be wearing Superstars this year. Doubt we’ll go back to no laces, though. Run DMC can keep that\u2026<\/div>\n

Gregory Williams<\/h1>\n

Air Jordan\u00a04 “Oreo”<\/h3>\n
One of the few Air Jordan 4 colorways I haven\u2019t had the pleasure of owning, these are without a doubt at the top of my list. Seeing as how I scratched the \u201cLegend Blue\u201d variation off my list, my sights are squarely set on these. Its just something about the blackened tumbled leather and cement grey accenting that I just have to have. To me, this retro just looks like the perfect everyday all purpose pair of kicks to just throw on with anything.<\/div>\n
