Posted by George Kiel III | Nov 27, 2008|
We are always looking forward to the latest style and colorway; however, this year most of the brands brought us some classic sneakers we will never forget no matter how many new releases we come across. Since this is Thanksgiving, we should all have something to be thankful for; therefore, Nice Kicks has compiled a list of the top 10 sneakers we are thankful for to see comeback after a long hiatus. Click here to view our Top Ten classics that surfaced in 2008…so far. Below our number 1 pick, we want you to decide which sneakers you were thankful of to see make a blast from the past. |

Happy with most of the countdown colorways, Retro Pennys & Pippens. Overall 2008 was a bomb a** YEAR!

The 11s, there are no greater shoes than the 11s
Nov 28, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Yes, the dee brown reebok pumps are a fraud. He would have gotten 8’s if he tried that dunk now. This is an awesome top ten list. If you like top ten lists, you should visit my buddy’s site http://www.toptentopten.com/.

Having the 3’s changes the whole situation…it’s different when you want something
Nov 28, 2008 at 12:15 am
I actually got the 20/3, and the 3’s are legendary and THE best…but the colorway of the Carmines are so appealing, I had to vote for em
Nov 27, 2008 at 11:12 pm
i honestly think da best sneakers of dis yr by far has to be the 7/16 air jordan package..da hare (bugs bunny) 7s r infamous jordan sneakers dat havent been out since dat commercial he did wit bugs and classic patent leatha toe 16s all black wit red onda bottom…come on wats betta den d@??..
Nov 27, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Carmine’s all the way!
Nov 27, 2008 at 10:08 pm
HOLD UP!!! concord XI’s?!?!?!
Nov 27, 2008 at 9:38 pm
and concord 11s would have been sex
Nov 27, 2008 at 9:36 pm
the hares & the 11s
Nov 27, 2008 at 9:15 pm
thankful for 11s
Nov 27, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Best sneakers re-released so far wasn’t on the list: Foamposites.
But I guess that don’t come out until next year so that don’t count… but the AJ 7 Hares are the best re-release this year.
As for the December re-releases, I love the AJ11 but I really wanted the Concords not the BRED so I am disappointed. I guess I’m the only one who wanted the concord because everyone is going wild for the BRED’s.

Nov 27, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Black cement 3s shouldn’t be #1, they’re far from the best up there. I knew they would be though….
Nov 27, 2008 at 3:51 pm
ALL OF THEM ALL I NEED ARE THOSE DEE BROWNS AND IM ALL SET WITH THE TOP TEN
Nov 27, 2008 at 3:49 pm

Nov 27, 2008 at 3:11 pm
^^^^ that’s right, what about the 5’s???
Nov 27, 2008 at 3:09 pm
It was so hard to leave some off the list. Most notably, the Nike Air Flight Lite Highs
Nov 27, 2008 at 2:55 pm
yo the 5’s need to be on this list BAD
Nov 27, 2008 at 2:53 pm
what about neon 95??? the air-unit was a little off but im thankful
but for me, it the #1 had to be carmines, cause you can actually wear them
Nov 27, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Carmines > Black Cement 3’s IMO…
Nov 27, 2008 at 2:14 pm
man, i am looking at the picture of MJ playin’ defense,
and wearing the air jordan IV… with the NIKE AIR…!
now that was a great shoe. they don’t make ‘em like they used to. what a shame… by the way, what does s.m.h. mean?
Nov 27, 2008 at 1:54 pm
p.s of that list I copped in this last year:
Pennys
Pips
3’s
4’s
I regret not getting the Pumps, may buy the white ones which are releasing.
Nov 27, 2008 at 1:51 pm
I voted for the Penny II’s, imo the Jordan III’s are #2.
I didn’t cop the carmines. I don’t like them for some reason…
Nov 27, 2008 at 1:25 pm
The penny IIs win out because I didn’t have to buy another pair of wack shoes just to get the JOs i wanted
Nov 27, 2008 at 1:20 pm
great list
Nov 27, 2008 at 1:08 pm
to #21,
I disagree with you homie, the best looking shoe. What about the Spaca Jams… that’s better looking than the Breds. Ppl see the Breds everywhere. Space Jams, you gotta believe that!!!
Nov 27, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Jordan 11’s all the way!! ha
Nov 27, 2008 at 1:00 pm
still waiting on the bred xi
the best looking and most comfortable shoe ever made!!!!!!!
Nov 27, 2008 at 12:55 pm
OH MAN, I FORGOT ABOUT THE XX3′S, I AM THANKFUL FOR THE BLACK AND ALL-STAR XX3′S TOO… YEP, TRUE THAT…!
Nov 27, 2008 at 12:53 pm
carmines, bred IV, blk cmt III, those are the 1st three. the others who cares? lol
Nov 27, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Also the package in December doesn’t change my list. I have the Original Black/Red XI from ‘96 and the Original Taxi XII from 97
Nov 27, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Nike has been doing good. I copped quiet a few this year, which I never do. Here’s what I copped and am thankful for, which I obviously am since I copped;
01] Hare VII
02] Carmine VI
03] Chili 95
04] Blue Bakin’
05] Black/Blue Penny II
06] Lava Air Tech Challenge II
07] Infrared Court Force
It was cool that the Black/Red IV’s and Black/Cement III’s dropped again, but I still have my wearable 99 Black/Red IV’s and wearable 01 Black/Cement III’s. Either way you look at it, the two colorways are a classic. Since I already had them, they weren’t on my list along with the Infrared 90’s since I had the 05 HOA’s.
I also really liked the Eggplant Flightposites, but I didn’t like how they looked on my feet. I am, however, anticipating the release of the Eggplant Flightposites.
Nov 27, 2008 at 12:26 pm
To # 14
Yeah, my list will totally change after Dec 26. Im already camping 3 days out. =)
Nov 27, 2008 at 12:25 pm
MY 5 BECAUSE I DIDN’T HAVE 10 NON-THANFUL:
5. THE 18′S FROM CDP 18-5
4. THE 22′S FROM CDP 22-1
3. THE 21′S FROM CDP 21-2
2. THE 20′S FROM CDP 20-3
1. THE 15′S FROM CDP 15-8
THESE DESERVED BETTER COLORWAYS IN MY OPINION…
Nov 27, 2008 at 12:14 pm
MY TOP 10 THANKFUL KICKS IN ‘08, SO FAR:
10. THE 1′S FROM CDP 22-1
9. THE 5′S FROM CDP 18-5
8. THE 16′S FROM CDP 16-7
7. THE 7′S FROM CDP 16-7
6. THE 4′S FROM CDP 19-4
5. THE 13′S FROM CDP 10-13
4. THE 9′S FROM CDP 14-9
3. THE 2′S FROM CDP 21-2
2. THE 6′S FROM 17-6
1. THE 3′S FROM 20-3
BY DEC. 26, MY LIST WILL CHANGE… LOL
Nov 27, 2008 at 12:04 pm

Nov 27, 2008 at 11:56 am

Nov 27, 2008 at 11:56 am
Definitely Carmines!
AJ III in Black/Cement is my grail jordan of all time.
but the quality in the CDP release doesnt stand up 2 me.

Nov 27, 2008 at 11:55 am
Definitely Hares are the best sneakers to return after the Carmines. AFTER 16 YEARS OF WAIT!?!? c’mon
Nov 27, 2008 at 11:53 am
THE BLACK 3′S AND THE BLACK 4′S THANK YOU…
Nov 27, 2008 at 11:53 am

Nov 27, 2008 at 11:53 am
Flight Lites
Nov 27, 2008 at 11:45 am
Actually, you were second…smh at the whole ‘first’ hype
Maybe it’s because I didn’t cop the CDP III’s, but I put the Carmines as #1
Happy Thanksgiving
