“Best of” lists are usually a source of much controversy, as opinions will always differ on any debatable topic. So, when we started to put together our Top 30 Sneakers of 2009 list, we got as many opinions as possible, asking our entire staff and some friends in the industry to rank their favorites from the year. Each individual list was then indexed and used to create composite rankings, ensuring that a T305 of opinions would be factored into the final list. The result is a comprehensive list of all the kicks that made our cut this year, along with some crisp photos and background info on each.
