Adidas Ultra Boost 'Triple Black' vs. Air Jordan I 'Bred'

We’ve narrowed our list down to the final two: The Adidas Ultra Boost "Triple Black" vs. the Air Jordan I "Bred."

In retrospect, these kicks couldn’t be more different. One sneaker has helped pushed Adidas into the future, with lofty ambitions and remarkable strides in technology. The other side of the coin features a classic. A piece of art. The Air Jordan I "Bred."

Both were groundbreaking, highly respected shoes that released over the 2016-17 calendar year. However, in the end, we can only choose one. Your winner in B/R Kicks’ first annual Kicks Madness bracket is the Air Jordan I "Bred."

No matter how many times it’s re-released, the Air Jordan I "Bred" continues to evade consumers. Frequent sellouts, frenetic raffles and frustration sets in on release day. Those who can prevail gain a feeling of worth. A feeling that they’ve introduced a masterpiece into their collection.

Endless congratulations goes out to Jordan Brand and the Air Jordan I "Bred." Battling through 64 other kicks and coming out on top is truly a special feat.
