What’s your favorite sneaker of this year so far?
Futura Sb dunk low or The Airmax Plus retro in the Violet 💜
Jordan 4 reimagined
Puma suede XL pleasures still underrated 😢
Military Blues
AE1 🤷♂️ – no hot take here
Came here from Spotify to see if anyone else caught the Cam’Ron bar😂😂😂😂😂 Joe La Puma is a different bread👌🏾hahahahaha
Weltys like an elephant he remembers everything
Rooney wore T90’s not Ronaldo or Ronaldinho
The list is so Nike heavy and they are just having a horrible year imo
If you re a dude above 30, you cant be wearing jordans or dunks tbh. You need one style and just wear that everywhere
Total 90 was Wayne Rooney
Mercurial was Ronaldo
Tiempo was Roalndhino
Lowkey if they redid some of the boots I had back in the day with an am1 or am zero midsole, I would lose it.
The Paul Rodriguez Nike SB They’re thinking about is the Nike SB Free – Rod. But as a trainer I think the Supreme Cross Trainer Low looks closer to the Nigo pair.
Solid list. Got the Dions (doubled up). The Kobe girl dads. The Bred 4s and just got the AE 1 ascent mids today. I think it’s better colorway than the futures but those are cool.
I didn’t think you guys would put those at #1. I agree tho .
