Uptowns. UltraBoosts. Vans Slip-Ons. Chuck Taylors of course. But as we continued rattling off favorites, the more we realized the answer wasn\u2019t so simple. Each pair posing a different pro for how they flex with those calves. Voices started to rise, tempers flared. I think someone threw an empty coffee cup at one point. So we decided the only way to truly determine a champion was to host a true playoff. A thunderdome of summer sneakers where many will enter and only one leaves supreme for those shorts. The inaugural Sneakers for Shorts Championship Bracket was born, and now we\u2019re asking for your help to crown a champ. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have created four Sneaker regions, Old School, New School, Runners, And Basketball to determine who reigns supreme with those shorts in the summer. All of the usual suspects are here. From Yeezys to Stan Smiths to Air Maxs and Jordans. We even threw in some new favorites, like the Epic Reacts and the Air Max 270s. #EmbraceDebate on the seeding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill out your brackets and post on social with the hashtag #StockXShorts to share your picks.We may even have a little summer surprise for the best bracket. You can also vote for winners of each and every round on the <a href=\"https:\/\/var\/app\/current\/news-tmp-0801.instagram.com\/stockx\/?hl=en\">StockX Instagram<\/a> all week, where the winning kicks will be announced on Memorial Day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So keep those skinny jeans tucked away in the closet. Order some no-shows and keep the sunscreen on deck. Time to crown a summer sneaker champion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>View a full-res version of the bracket <a href=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ShortsBracket_Final.jpg\">HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ShortsBracket_Final.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"StockX Image\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-20776\" src=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ShortsBracket_Final-1100x697.jpg\" alt=\"Best sneakers to wear with shorts\" width=\"1100\" height=\"697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ShortsBracket_Final-1100x697.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ShortsBracket_Final-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ShortsBracket_Final-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ShortsBracket_Final-995x630.jpg 995w, https:\/\/images-wp.stockx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ShortsBracket_Final-1200x760.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4085px) 100vw, 4085px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff After millions of Instagram votes, the people have spoken&#8230;with their finger taps.
