Ranking Every Air-Jordan Sneaker I - XX9
Stumbled across this random article on ESPN that ranks Jordans. Doesn't seem like something that ESPN normally gets involved in.
Ive saved everyone who doesn't wanna skim through the trouble and included their ranks below. Added a few of my own comments on certain ranks.
29: XV
28: 2012
27: XIX
26: 2010
25: XX2
24: 2009
23: XVIII
22: XVII
21: 2011
20: XX8
19: XXI
18: XX
17: XVI
16: X - Appropriately low IMO
15: XX9
14: II
13: VIII
12: XIV - Could be higher
11: XX3 - Appropriately High
10: IX - Surprisingly high, but not mad
9: VI - Should be higher IMO, top 5
8: XIII
7: VII
6: V - Top 5 IMO
5: XII - Not better than V or VI
4: IV - Arguably Number 1 all-time
3: XI - Surprised not #1, but no argument with top 3
2: III - IM just not a III's guy, but no argument here
1: I - Same as with III's, Im just not a I's guy
To my surprise, considering ESPN knows nada about shoes, I don't really disagree with much here. I know some NTers go nuts for X's but I think they're super plain and inferior to the XI's that followed, and deserve the low ranking. I don't know about VI being barely a top 10 though, especially with XII ranked as top 5. Lastly, I think the XX3 is appropriately high, def an underrated model, that came with a lot of excellent colorways. If MJ wore it, it would've been a renowned classic.
Is this Chad Jones dude on NT?
