    No SBs, no Patta Air Max 1s, no Salomons, and no NB 990s, or even Union 2s in the conversation is crazy. Teddy Santis, Salomon, and Pattas had a huge year. Having someone like Jones who won’t even consider a New Balance being on the list is dumb. It’s a list of top 10 sneakers of the year, not just of their personal pickups. Kent is at least not oblivious of the crazy year New Balance has had.

    This panel is VERY biased. All are in the music industry so they were biased for the Khaled 5s, of course they're gonna ride his sneaker. Also, their wealth comes into question.

    Not hypocritical at all 👀 that they kicked off Adidas x Gucci from the list for being a luxury house that wrapped a sneaker in their logo… yet LV x Nike…the exact same concept…gets #1? Good hosting by Joe, but it’s a fail that he doesn’t confront them with that point. Enjoyed the segment, but the standards have to be the same across all brands. This isn’t “story” of the year, or “designer” of the year. It’s a final product / sneaker of the year. All that extra noise shouldn’t be applied to the decision process ✌🏼

    • @frankchan5547
      @frankchan5547 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes there's a big difference between cynical collabs and genuine collabs.
      The tells are in the degree of design input and commitment to marketing.
      Simply tweaking the OG design and slapping on a different colour scheme or using design logo cloth won't cut it.
      Absence of the marketing shows the designer doesn't care or value the collab.
      The Dior Nike collab worked well and was a sea change for sneaker industry.
      Lux brands have tried to acquire street cred of sneakers by doing their own sneakers or doing collabs or both.
      We see that in cars and cycling too.
      The danger for sneaker brands is that they go one step too far and both sides lose credibility from their client bases.
      Are the Gucci and LV collabs too expensive and exclusive? Alienating sneakerheads means subsequent releases are no longer desired as much and demand falls. High end collabs need to be both hero/halo/aspirational but within reach, and still desirable. Collabs worn only by retirees aren't cool.

      Y’all fail to realize, like with hip hop in general , sneaker culture & hip hop started in nyc . This panel is a culmination of what that looked like as it was being cooked up before it became a thing. Nyc birthed these 2 genres & it ok to feel upset about bias but it’s natural . Just like NY created the LV Nike colab from scratch. It’s only fitting this panel feel the way they feel. Nike and Jordan shaped not only nyc but east coast aesthetics for decades from its inception . This all is by design . Respect everyone’s opinions. But if that’s the culture and where it’s from you have to respect it, like pizza is an Italian thing the world can’t be mad if Italy is ranked #1 in that category just because other places have great pizza.

    Sneaker of the Year should have been something that was actually attainable by the normal person.

      Y’all fail to realize, like with hip hop in general , sneaker culture & hip hop started in nyc . This panel is a culmination of what that looked like as it was being cooked up before it became a thing. Nyc birthed these 2 genres & it ok to feel upset about bias but it’s natural . Just like NY created the LV Nike colab from scratch. It’s only fitting this panel feel the way they feel. Nike and Jordan shaped not only nyc but east coast aesthetics for decades from its inception . This all is by design . Respect everyone’s opinions. But if that’s the culture and where it’s from you have to respect it, like pizza is an Italian thing the world can’t be mad if Italy is ranked #1 in that category just because other places have great pizza.
