22. Air Jordan XX9
Another real love-hate installment, we may get crucified for putting this one so low. However, we’re just not fans of the ‘Photo reel’ colorways. They make the shoe look cheap and when you’re paying a couple hundred bucks, that’s unforgivable. Obviously, that’s a subjective view, but we stand by it.

However, as a performance shoe, this one is as good as it gets. Lighter than any other Air Jordan shoe, it used Flightweave technology, the precursor to Flyweave. This tough weave meant that the on-court appeal was stronger than ever before, we can’t deny that.
