Jordan Brand reveals a new mismatched rank the Air Jordan Legacy and its individual releases might be the single most difficult ranking task in all of sneakerhead culture. How on earth are you supposed to objectively assess the value of (so many different) shoes that have unique meanings for each of their devotees?! The way Urlfreeze News has done it over the past couple years is to give our readers a chance to vote in our March Madness Air Jordan tournaments, but each person who submitted a pick has their own top 10 (or 100) in mind. Multiply that by itself and you’ve got a sense of the scope of Russ Bengtson’s ambitious project to rank Complex’s 100 Best Air Jordans, a list that’s absolutely guaranteed to cause its fair share of Slide. We’ve selected one from each group of ten (100-91, 90-81, and so on) to give you a sense of what’s in store, so check out the sneak peek and then head over to Complex Jordan Son of Mars Gym Red Arriving at Retailers.
