Top 10 Best Sneaker Brands

Whether you're a hardcore athlete, a streetwear enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates comfy and cool kicks, there's a sneaker brand out there for you.

We want to know what you think are the top sneaker brands in the game. These are the ones that combine legendary style, unbeatable comfort, and maybe even a little street cred. Is it classic names like Nike and Adidas? Maybe old-school cool like Converse or Vans? Or perhaps an under-the-radar brand that sneakerheads swear by?

The Top Ten

  1. Nike

    Nike, Inc. is an American multinational corporation that designs, develops, manufactures, and markets footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories, and services worldwide. The company is headquartered near Beaverton, Oregon, in the Portland metropolitan area. It is the world's largest supplier of athletic... read more

    I love Nike because it's beautiful and the number-one sneaker brand in the world. They have super cool designs and colors, including college colors. My favorite color of all time is university red, and I'm in love with Nike.

    Duh! I have Nikes, and I run pretty well in them. They fit well and last for a while. I had Under Armour a while ago, but they broke and got dirty pretty quickly.

    Nikes are amazing. I mean, Nike means victory, and victory I shall have! They have great prices, sales, and clearance. My shoes came from the clearance section - only one pair left - and they're fabulous! Go Nike! Nike, Nike! Victory, Victory! Vote for Nike, or else. Please vote.

  2. Adidas

    Adidas AG (stylized as adidas since 1949) is a German multinational corporation, founded and headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria. It designs and manufactures shoes, clothing, and accessories. Adidas is the largest sportswear manufacturer in Europe and the second largest in the world, after Nike... read more

    Adidas made me a sole collector, or maybe a Boost collector. Adidas deserves to be number one. Maybe Nike is good for their basketball shoes, but they still suck. Their shoes look like boots that you can use when the street is flooded.

    Adidas has great designs. Also, Adidas has Kanye West, Louis Vuitton, Supreme, Neighborhood, Bape, Mastermind, Kith, and Naked.

    "Within the first few years of its introduction, the Superstar was being worn by over 75% of all NBA players. Proof of its revolutionary technology which remains today," says Wikipedia about Adidas Superstar. Adidas is king, from the past until now.

  3. Converse

    Converse is an American shoe company that designs, distributes, and licenses sneakers, skate shoes, lifestyle footwear, apparel, and accessories. Founded in 1908, it has operated as a subsidiary of Nike, Inc. since 2003. It is best known for its iconic Chuck Taylor All-Star sneakers.... read more

    Comfort, quality, and a luxury feel are on one hand, but if a legend is to be considered, then Converse is here to guide you through the ages of skateboarding, a free-spirited lifestyle, and rock 'n' roll. No other brand can push Converse to the backseat in terms of legendary Chuck Taylor designs.

    I think they should improve their business and marketing, as they are not very operational worldwide. Love, peace, and Converse.

    These are really cool. Converse high tops make me feel good about myself and confident. I don't know why - they just do. Additionally, the way Converse feel is a bonus. They are really comfortable and strike a balance between casual and dressy. Anyone could wear them and look both sporty and good.

  4. Vans

    I vote for Vans because they are of amazing quality and look fantastic. Vans are the best shoes out there, and they are incredibly comfortable! I love Vans! They are the shoes of awesomeness!

    I got Vans last year, and they are still of amazing quality. They haven't ripped at all. They got a bit dirty, but they're still great!

    No! This brand should be in first place because they are real sneakers! They are so cool. They have great quality and can go with almost any outfit - casual, hipster, sporty, nice casual, for church, for the park, and to the gym.

  5. Air Jordan

    These shoes are very comfy. The air cushioning is very responsive as well. They also look very nice and will earn you lots of respect. While they are a bit pricey, they are definitely worth it.

    I have a pair of Aqua 8.0s, and I hope to expand my collection.

    I love the Retro 4 and 6's. Why? Because of their colorways. They're telling a story. It's art. It's just too bad that the really nice colorways and collab editions, like the Kaws, are for the very lucky few only.

    I love Air Jordan because it is the coolest sneaker ever. I like the colors and style. I like the Jordan Retro 10 and Air Jordan 1 Midtop. Air Jordan represents greatness. Also, they're both Nike.

  6. Reebok

    Reebok International Limited is an American fitness footwear and apparel manufacturer that is currently owned by Authentic Brands Group. The company was originally established in England in 1958 as a companion brand to J.W. Foster and Sons, a sporting goods firm founded in 1895 in Bolton, Lancashire.... read more

    Since I tried Reebok, I haven't worn any other brand. Their shoes are very comfortable. The design of Reebok Classics is the best on the market, and they are reasonably priced.

    My wife and I wear Reebok. They are well-made and very comfortable. A podiatrist also recommended them.

  7. Puma

    Puma SE, branded simply as Puma, is a German multinational corporation that designs and manufactures athletic and casual footwear, apparel, and accessories. The company is headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, Germany. Puma is currently the third-largest sportswear manufacturer in the world.... read more

    I've had my Pumas for about two years now, and I love them! They sell them at SoftMoc, Foot Locker, and Puma.com. Check them out! They are amazing and cost between $30 and $100, depending on the store and shoe style. I definitely recommend them!

    Puma has the best design, no doubt. They are very comfortable and leather as well. You must give them a try.

    I've never bought Puma yet, but people say that they are pretty comfortable.

  8. DC

    These are the best kicks I have ever seen. I'm a graphic designer, and I'm not easily impressed. As phlegmatic as I am, I give DC my vote. Hands down, it kicks ass.

    These are pretty much the only sneakers I own. They look amazing and are some of the comfiest shoes I own.

    This is the most comfortable brand of shoes I have ever had the pleasure of wearing.

  9. New Balance

    New Balance Athletics, Inc. (NB), best known as simply New Balance, is one of the world's major sports footwear and apparel manufacturers. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the multinational corporation was founded in 1906 as the New Balance Arch Support Company. The company is recognized for producing... read more

    The 811! New Balance is the best support sneaker ever made. It offers comfort, arch support, and balance. Intense arch support and secure movement on all terrains! The three pairs I have had for 15 years now must be replaced.

    I love the style and performance. Please recycle the 811 New Balance shoe. Thank you.

    Comfortable with simple, universal designs. Affordable prices. A wide variety of sizes and widths to fit your foot. The size factor is what brought me to them, and I won't go anywhere else.

    I've owned Nike, Converse, and all the big brands, and nothing compares to the comfort, quality, and value of New Balance shoes.

  10. Vlado

    I have a Jordan collection and just discovered Vlado. I calculated that my Hares are worth roughly three pairs of equally nice sneakers from Vlado. A new collection, here I come!

    Vlado sneakers are really underrated. They have some of the nicest high tops I have ever seen.

    I have a collection of almost all sneakers, but not Vlado.

    11. The Newcomers

    Coach

    Coach is an American luxury fashion brand that focuses on handbags, leather goods, and accessories. The company was founded in 1941 in New York City and has since expanded its offerings to include apparel, footwear, and fragrances. Coach is recognized for its high-quality craftsmanship and timeless designs... read more

    My mom has been a big Coach bag fan, so we often shop there. The sneakers have quite a catchy look, and I love them.

  12. ?

    Bape

    13. The Contenders

  13. Asics

    Asics are very comfy and, unlike other shoe brands that I wear, they are solid and sturdy in the best ways. The shoe may not always look the best, but they are great for running. Once I started wearing Asics for running, I noticed that I didn't get my usual running sores.

    This is simply the world's most sophisticated running platform - without the distraction and unneeded expense of superficially attractive collector's editions.

    The only problem with these sneakers is that they never break, so you have no excuse to buy new ones. I buy new ones anyway. They are super comfortable and pretty too.

  14. Fila

  15. Champion

    I have the Octoflexes. They are so light and comfortable. I like them better than the Free Run 2. I think this is a great shoe for both runners and couch potatoes.

    Yeah, these are quite light and comfortable - pretty good for running.

    I have green and black Champions at home. I have a good interest in them.

  16. Supra

    Supras look so cool! They are the best high-tops I've ever seen! I have, like, every pair of Vaiders they have. My favorite pair is my snake teal Vaiders. They are so attractive! I love them! They leave my boys hanging. I would kill to buy every pair they have in the store! Thank you, inventor of Supra!

    I have used Nike, Adidas, and Puma, but Supra is different from all the brands. I have two Nikes, three Pumas, five Supras, and one Nike Jordan. Of these, the ones I use the most are Supra and Puma. They are comfortable and both have a fresh collection.

    Supras are the best sneakers. Justin Bieber also wears Supra sneakers. They are just awesome and look awesome too!

  17. Lacoste

  18. Marc Ecko

    It's classic and very comfortable. Good designs, worth the price.

  19. Balenciaga

  20. Lotto

  21. Yeezy

  22. Royal

  23. Diadora

  24. Ellesse

  25. Globe

  26. Skechers

    I have had three pairs of shoes from this brand for more than three years. I use them daily over hard sand, and they are almost as new. The price was around $40.00 on Amazon.

    They may be a put-down brand, but their memory foam shoes are heavenly yet stylish.

  27. Under Armour

    Under Armour, Inc. is an American sports equipment company that manufactures footwear, sports, and casual apparel. Under Armour's global headquarters are located in Baltimore, Maryland, with additional offices in Amsterdam (European headquarters), Austin, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Houston, Jakarta, London... read more

    I love Under Armour so much, especially their Currys. If I were to have my own sneaker, I would partner up with them because the quality is great. They are comfortable, nice-looking, and worth the price.

    This ranking is ridiculously low. I understand that because they are my favorite doesn't mean everyone agrees, but I'm stunned at how low UA is ranked.

    This brand should definitely be in the top 5. It's one of the most famous brands on Earth.
