We've all had them. Those absolute favorite pair of skate shoes, worn in and molded to your feet so perfectly that the thought of throwing them away would be simply out of the question. That is, until they become so tattered and destroyed that they literally fall apart while you're wearing them.

So you get a new pair and the cycle continues. Your old favs are not forgotten, but just as you move on to bigger and better skate tricks so does you choice in footwear.

In honor of this footwear evolution take a look at the list of 50 Greatest Skateboard Shoes. Created by Complex, this detailed list goes back to the earliest of skate shoes that definitely bring back memories. It even inspired the people from Lat34.com to come up with their own list.
