Richards) and others have definitely avoided taxes (hello Mr. President-Elect), but not even the best of us can escape every Tom, Dick and Hypebeast creating their list of\u00a0best sneakers.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, we\u2019ve steered clear of traditional participation in List SZN.<\/p>\n<p>Back when we were Campless:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For 2012, we published (in September of 2013) a list of the top sneakers with the most \u2018staying power\u2019 from the previous year. <a href=\"https:\/\/stockx.com\/outsole\/ranking-sneakers-with-staying-power-pt-2\/\">See it here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>For 2013, we revived the staying power list, but got the post out by January. <a href=\"https:\/\/stockx.com\/outsole\/ranking-sneakers-with-staying-power-in-2013\/\">See it here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>For 2014, we finally waded into \u2018best of\u2019 territory but, rather than create a list we collected 128 lists from others and synthesized the data in what is surely the most cerebral method of crowning the best shoe since Aristotle and Socrates debated Tevas vs. Birkenstocks. <a href=\"https:\/\/stockx.com\/outsole\/we-found-128-best-of-2014-sneaker-lists\/\">See it here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>And by the time we got to the end of 2015 we were so immersed in building StockX (which would launch on Feb 8, 2016), that we didn\u2019t even notice the year had ended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But now that we\u2019re a fully functioning \u2018Stock Market of Things\u2019, it\u2019s time to reengage, the only question was how.<\/p>\n<p>Then we saw <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IcySoleOnline\">@IcySoleOnline<\/a> tweet this picture from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/J23app\">@J23app<\/a>\u00a0with the caption: \u00a0&#8220;156 pairs of Retro

do a lot of analysis and create a bunch of charts and share a few insights. \u00a0But we&#8217;re heads down on something special for January 14th (remember this date), so we&#8217;re going to let you
