There are plenty of shoes one could call the greatest to ever be created. There’s no cut-and-dry reasoning for any of it.
You could argue that the Adidas Superstar, for example, is the GOAT for perfectly bringing together hip-hop and sneaker culture. Or you could argue the Air Max 1 has that GOAT title because of the innovation that came with it. There are plenty more to argue for and against.
But, personally, I think the Air Jordan 3 holds that title.
