Much to our chagrin, the 2024 Summer Olympics have come to a close. Paris put on a show that will be tough for any city to match. Even better, the athletes and sneaker brands brought their A-game to the City of Love.

For 16 days, the world watched as the athletes from various sports competed in the best gear their respective brands had to offer. Just as it is challenging to judge sports like diving or dressage, it is equally tough to grade athlete's sneakers.

However, after careful consideration, below is Kicks on SI's list of the ten best shoes worn during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
