The footwear game is a cluttered place, and the abundance of similar silhouettes leaves us with the question: "Who did it better?" each week. So far, you've voted on the Yeezys vs. the Ex-O-Fits, the Valenzuela vs. the CTS, the Turinos vs. the Honjas, the Propulsion II vs. the TK Societys, the Curb vs. the Champion, and the UNDFTD vs. Bodega Poorman's Weapon.

When the Parra Air Max 1 was first spotted in our video interview with Edson and the Patta team, people were fiending. This past Saturday (3/13/10) they finally released, and there was global buzz for the burgundy kicks. But did the Parra AM1s one-up the Patta Air Max that released last year and landed at #2 on our Best of 2009 list? Parra took the colorful route while Patta kept it simple. So which design is for the win? Check the pictures and then cast your vote below...
