Every so often some sneakers come along that are deemed "must-cop," sneakers that the footwear enthusiasts label as must-haves for the closet. Sometimes these sneakers are added to the collection to be a part of the on-feet rotation. Other times their sole purpose is to be kept in a box until the time is right, which is what the sneaker-heads call "icing." Whatever the case may be, there are always sneakers that you tend to see on a daily, sneakers that everyone seems to have. These are the sneakers that are dominating the year. They are the sneakers that are on trend, and the more you see them, the more you want them. And if you DO have them, there is a certain understanding, a subtle head-nod to the other person wearing them 'cause you both know what's up, you're both in "the know," often telling each other "nice kicks." (Admit it! You've done that) These are the 14 sneakers you may be seeing a lot of this year.
