B/R Kicks Madness 2017

Giancarlo Ferrari-KingMar 16, 2017

Welcome to the first-ever B/R Kicks Madness. We rounded up our Kicks staff, politicked through the entire selection process and completed a bracket of 64 sneakers from the 2016-17 release calendar.

We've broken down each region by brand, pitting the best kicks against one another using a traditional NCAA seeding approach.

There's the Three Stripes Region, featuring NMDs and Kanye West's Yeezy collection. The widely respected Swoosh Region is filled with technological breakthroughs and has a few signature sneakers from Cleveland Cavaliers superstars. The Jumpman Region includes the hyper-popular Air Jordan Retros. Lastly, there's the Mega Mix Region. This is where the best of the rest come to play—everything from Asics to Vans and Under Armour.
