There are a number of factors in play when separating the good from the great, and this list of the fifty best put forth by Complex covers a wide range of what defines “great”.

Peep the list below and let us know what you think, and in the meantime, check out the thorough list of Air Yeezy 2 release spots here before heading to Complex for the full feature.
