ALD / NB 991 Made in UK Tan leather should have definitely been on the list. For everything ALD is doing right now, it’s hard to have a sneaker conversation without mentioning ALD and this to me is their best collab yet.
@@Be1owTheHeavenz yeah I know a lot of people like the v2 and it has crazy resale value but something about the tan leather with the green feels like a perfect blend of the 2 brands for me.
It’s like Travis gets an automatic spot in the top 10 no matter what it is. Definitely not better than either color way of the Won-Ang Air Max 1 or the Patta Air Max 1 that didn’t make the top 10 last year.
@56:25 I love union but I really don’t get why people love the union dunks so much. They aren’t bad. They just don’t move me, even in person. I’ll have to rewatch the Chris Gibbs FSR episode to see if it sways me.
Nah bro, both colorways of the Kasina Won-Ang Air Max 1 have to be at least TOP 5 at the end of the year. Both pairs present meaningful, tasteful and eye catching colorways, decent backstory for design inspiration, pristine usage of materials and, overall must haves for your wardrobe
Another fact about the hot-step is that the midsole outsole is actually just a slightly aesthetically modified version of the tooling from the 1999 ACG Air Terra Humara.
The Rick and Morty is huge in the AAU basketball world. There is at least 3 kids on every team with a pair or just a pair of Melo MB1. It's on par or past KD and Kyrie as far as basketball hype. I see them more then PG's, Lebron or Jordans
Love the sneakers of course ! That's a beautiful SB ! Pretty solid top 10, can't complain much ! Been a huge fan of 2's so my favorite is for sure #5 on the list Been trying to get my hand on a pair of Mambacita's I agree with Welty on the 1's topic, it's just so different now ! Another amazing episode !
Welty is so right, the JJJJound 990 v3 is better than that trash puma. The V3 has been my personal favourite 990 for more than half a decade. It’s nice to see all the V3s coming out these days.
Thank God he finally stopped going hard for those Calabasas yeezys. I have been wearing my stone sage foam rnnr every day and the body/back has never been better. Been hooping lately too
@49:15 Welty is wrong. people do care about the adidas Kobe shoes. Not as many people. But we’re out here. I’ve bought several adidas Kobe’s but have never bought a Nike Kobe. They just don’t do it for me. Being a Kings, Blazers, and most of all a Pistons fan, I was a big Kobe hater during most of his Nike run. I have way more of a connection to what Kobe did in his Adidas personally.
Had friend lost his hand around wrist with “foguete” it’s typical from Portugal, was normal for us kids go after the “sticks” they would attach the fireworks, he caught one that didn’t explode and thought was good idea to light it up and it just Boom, left hand gone…..lol
Nike LV OW for the masses would much better say £1k a pair pre order would have honoured the goat much better .. the rumour that you get a random colourway like the 50 would have been very Virgil too
Alright, so I'll keep posting this on every episode in 2022 until eBay and Complex let overseas folks participate in the giveaway... If we can sell on eBay and pay fees, we should be able to participate.
Sometimes lists by so many people loose there message and I don’t like the people pleasing elements. At year end it would be good to hear JLP, BD & MW picks for the top 10 rather the complex list. Also, I understand not necessarily including retros of cws, but new cws on retro sneakers could be included? Best pick up this year for me is definitely the Military Black J4’s.
I tried the Gucci Gazelles today and they feel expensive (a really luxurious silky smooth suede) but not $850 expensive. Agreed that the soles are fantastic but I'm not going to be able to look at them much when wearing them and I would not jump in a puddle with these just to admire the footprint. Luckily they only had the green pair so I passed. If they had those baby blue ones in my size I might've been in trouble. The apparel is fire and I could not resist a T... and maybe a jacket too so I guess I'm still in plenty of trouble
I'm from San Francisco and loved the original HufSF store but those new Huf Dunks are pretty weak overall. I do like that the green pair has the little tie dye from the OG Hi's but Welty seems to have the respect for Hufnegal tied into what the shoes actual look like imo.
One day Ima get My Mom’s the New Balance 9060 JFG Inside Voices. Gotta keep Mama Drippin ☔️ Plus she wears lots of pink. So I know she could get lots of fits off. Refreshing to see a nice new model shoe
Your explanation on why the Louie AF1 should be on the list, sounds like you are backing NFTs... No one cares if there is an exhibit to visit if we can't own the shoes.. Just like no one cares to own a picture of a shoe....
Brendan just had a BDAY🎂 Hold that dab until it doesn't feel right King Dunne. Welty needs to look down at his shirt and follow Jesus. Love more. Stop all that hate in your heart! (Jokes!)
The Dior 1 was more obtainable than the LV AF1, at least for the Dior you had a tiny chance.. the AF1 is literally seeded or obscenely dumbly expensive
What's your favorite sneaker of the year so far?
Air Jordan 1Georgetown 85
mambacita kobe 6
SB dunk low St. Patrick / Shamrock
The JJJJound 990v3 should be on this list. It’s my favorite shoe of the year so far, and it’s better than at least 5 of the other shoes on this list.
Jordan 3 Neapolitan
Welty: “it’s a love it or hate it shoe”
Brendan: “Which side are you on?”
Welty: “I’m somewhere on the fence in the middle”😂😂
Glizzy Gladiators ⚔️ 🌭 ⚔️
Would be way more interesting if you all had your own list and battled out your top 10’s lists with discussion 👍
I like this idea.
They def should've done that
To be fair Complex is known for having terrible lists
God I thought it was me, I was trying to watch stuff in order
The Worst!! 😂😂
10:51 Joe’s reactions are always the funniest parts of the podcast🤣🤣
ALD / NB 991 Made in UK Tan leather should have definitely been on the list. For everything ALD is doing right now, it’s hard to have a sneaker conversation without mentioning ALD and this to me is their best collab yet.
thats a hard take when you think about the ALD 990v2 . However, i get why you said that.
@@Be1owTheHeavenz yeah I know a lot of people like the v2 and it has crazy resale value but something about the tan leather with the green feels like a perfect blend of the 2 brands for me.
@@raymondmetzger1899 I agree.
That “smack dab” segment was wayyy too funny😂😂😂
A great show to start off a better weekend! Love you guys.
Just in time. Been looking forward to this week's episode.
That part!
Straight up didn’t know about the Pocket Knife ACG reference on the TSAJ1 until this episode. Very interesting.
The jjjjound 990v3 olive is sneaker of the year hands down New balance has been on top this year so many great collabs
It’s like Travis gets an automatic spot in the top 10 no matter what it is. Definitely not better than either color way of the Won-Ang Air Max 1 or the Patta Air Max 1 that didn’t make the top 10 last year.
Drake’s Nocta shoe literally looks like a pair of KSwiss sneakers from mid 2000s.
Facts.
ty welty, hes putting respect on Huf's name
Yes! Bring the podcast over to London
welty has never made me want a shoe so much those new balance are AMAZING
@56:25 I love union but I really don’t get why people love the union dunks so much. They aren’t bad. They just don’t move me, even in person. I’ll have to rewatch the Chris Gibbs FSR episode to see if it sways me.
To have the TS AM1 here and not even mention the concepts AM1 is really disappointing
Concepts killed it! They don’t even mention it?
"I ate so much meat by the fourth day my body was screaming for some salad" is a wild sentence
Love brendan dunne's fit, thanks again for all the reference pictures. 💯
These guys are the culture. 😎
Nah bro, both colorways of the Kasina Won-Ang Air Max 1 have to be at least TOP 5 at the end of the year. Both pairs present meaningful, tasteful and eye catching colorways, decent backstory for design inspiration, pristine usage of materials and, overall must haves for your wardrobe
Neh
Huf might be my fav dunk this year too not mad at that take
24:04 🙄 the welty 👀 roll .
Elite
❤️
Ps… fsr forever.
As long as these make the list, it’s valid:
Union x AJ2
TS x Nike AM1/ TS x AJ1 Low (?)
JFG x NB 9060
Salehe x Crocs Clog
LV x Nike AF1 (?)
Another fact about the hot-step is that the midsole outsole is actually just a slightly aesthetically modified version of the tooling from the 1999 ACG Air Terra Humara.
Love Union Cortez... I wish the AM1 CONCEPTS pack would've been included. Heavy is my favorite, but they're all "conceptual" ;) lol.
Salehe Crocs really deserved a spot here.
Not a sneaker
@@MikeyMooks then why did they award the foam rnnr no. 5 sneaker of the year in 2020? 🙄
Foam runners are also not sneakers
@@MikeyMooks tell that to Complex
joe always smirking when welty starts gatekeeping
The Rick and Morty is huge in the AAU basketball world. There is at least 3 kids on every team with a pair or just a pair of Melo MB1. It's on par or past KD and Kyrie as far as basketball hype. I see them more then PG's, Lebron or Jordans
Love the sneakers of course !
That's a beautiful SB !
Pretty solid top 10, can't complain much ! Been a huge fan of 2's so my favorite is for sure #5 on the list
Been trying to get my hand on a pair of Mambacita's
I agree with Welty on the 1's topic, it's just so different now !
Another amazing episode !
there are not many better sounds on a work day than that Complex Sneakers Podcast theme.
Great cameo appearance on FSR JLP !
I wish this show was more than once a week
Surprising didn’t see
ALD 991
Any Teddy 16 pair that has released yet
ASICS hal studios
Kith 990 pack
Air jordan 12 playoffs OG colorway
Those Up There 2002R 🔥 🔥 🔥
Also I thought those SBs were called aquanet(hair spray) because of netting
Welty is so right, the JJJJound 990 v3 is better than that trash puma. The V3 has been my personal favourite 990 for more than half a decade. It’s nice to see all the V3s coming out these days.
So many great ones have released recently I’ve bought like ten pairs in the last 2 months
This whole list was awful. The Travis air max is terrible
Thank God he finally stopped going hard for those Calabasas yeezys. I have been wearing my stone sage foam rnnr every day and the body/back has never been better. Been hooping lately too
Brendan: “I don’t wanna keep talking about this cause I already have….” Proceeds to talk about it 10 more minutes
Hot Step Air Terra ➡️ G Tek modeled after a goat's hooves ➡️ Drake calls himself the GOAT
nice, layered tidbit on the shoe. Kudos to them
In the Kith episode, Joe where did you get your Nike hat that ties in the back??
"Slap dap" ... LOL!
@49:15 Welty is wrong. people do care about the adidas Kobe shoes. Not as many people. But we’re out here. I’ve bought several adidas Kobe’s but have never bought a Nike Kobe.

Besides sole crumbling , what’s the biggest rip , stain or crease that ruined a shoe for you ??
Had friend lost his hand around wrist with “foguete” it’s typical from Portugal, was normal for us kids go after the “sticks” they would attach the fireworks, he caught one that didn’t explode and thought was good idea to light it up and it just Boom, left hand gone…..lol
Nike LV OW for the masses would much better say £1k a pair pre order would have honoured the goat much better .. the rumour that you get a random colourway like the 50 would have been very Virgil too
By the way there's a sneakershop called ShelfLife releasing a Jordan 2 colab in South Africa and its insane
thank you so much from Europe. Silver Boxes.
Alright, so I'll keep posting this on every episode in 2022 until eBay and Complex let overseas folks participate in the giveaway... If we can sell on eBay and pay fees, we should be able to participate.
no
That’s shirts 🔥Welty
I think not mentioning any of the Ronnie Fieg New Balances (Mainly V3 or V4) at the end is a crime
Sometimes lists by so many people loose there message and I don’t like the people pleasing elements. At year end it would be good to hear JLP, BD & MW picks for the top 10 rather the complex list.

if yall go to London u gotta get Meekz Manny on Sole Collector or this show... dude air max game is crazy
The travis Pocket Knife reference is necessary because alot of the Cactus Jack merch is camping type vibes…
The Union AJ 2 grey fog is the shoe I want the most. I type that as it gets to it! Kinda surprised.
I'm from San Francisco and loved the original HufSF store but those new Huf Dunks are pretty weak overall. I do like that the green pair has the little tie dye from the OG Hi's but Welty seems to have the respect for Hufnegal tied into what the shoes actual look like imo.
I think the dark color rubs off on the upper of the shoe because it’s an SB dunk and it’ll look better. I think the SF pair is orange under
2002r protection rain cloud should of be on here
Mero gon pop out with those raisin 95s next week
Green Jjjound 990v3 .. top 5 so far
welty about to become the next pope yall..peep the t shirt and the wrist.
How does the LV AF1 get a pass on being expensive and unattainable but the amazing Gucci x Adidas Indoor Gazelle gets knocked for the price?? 🤔🤔🧐🧐
the concepts air max 1s are way better than the travis air max 1s
You guys should come to South Africa and shoot a podcast episode
The sea salt V2 is waaaaay harder than the V3🤷🏾♂️
FACTS. People are sleeping on the V2
Fresh cut Dunn!
Such nice dunks
For y’all to not have the New Balance 990 V3 JJJJOUND Green sneaker in the top 5 is super lame.
Weren't the 85s based on an OG sample colorway? I don't think they were derived from the terminators
They're based on a college *sample called the Air Hoyas that looked exactly like Jordan Is without the wings logo.
That jet lag took Brendan to a new level this week.
No concepts air Max one heavy or far out?
1 probably didn't make the cut because of later release maybe is the Chicago 1s reimagined. Not sure just heard a lot of people like those
Got lucky on SNKRS for 3 and 4. Still DS 10.5
One day Ima get My Mom’s the New Balance 9060 JFG Inside Voices.
Gotta keep Mama Drippin ☔️
Plus she wears lots of pink.
So I know she could get lots of fits off.
Refreshing to see a nice new model shoe
Tough shirt Welty
The fact that the Travis Scott air max’s are above the adidas/Gucci gazelles & JFG 9060’s almost made me pass out
Your explanation on why the Louie AF1 should be on the list, sounds like you are backing NFTs... No one cares if there is an exhibit to visit if we can't own the shoes.. Just like no one cares to own a picture of a shoe....
This is crazy that the Daytona 990v3 wasn’t even top 10 that for me was top 7 sneaker
Yeah but the materials compared to the Dior are INCOMPARABLE!
Ive been eating Varsity Hotdogs in Atlanta since i was a child. Still going. My friends think im weird
I thought a opp walked in a room has me dying. Welty gotta chill with the disgust
"I did not ride to a hot dog stand with rollerblades on"
R.i.p. virgil, a true legend whose legacy will surpass anybody in the comment section on youtube.
Where's the Air Max 1 Concepts 'Heavy'????????
Can we get back mayor on pod need a video version!
I still love Dior AJ1s
love the vibe of this. but please dont have a motion background AND moving the camera.
No ALD/NB??
Walter loves god and glizzys and I’m here for it!
@51:50 S/O TO WELTY
JLP please tell us that " Smack dab" was a bit....
Unc 6s?
Slap dab is a saying in the UK 😅
“I ate so much meat” - Dunn
“I ate so much meat…” PAUSE
The JJJOUND was SO MUCH better than the Melo
ngl im really surprised that none of the salehe collabs made it onto the list
Brendan just had a BDAY🎂
Hold that dab until it doesn't feel right King Dunne.
Welty needs to look down at his shirt and follow Jesus. Love more. Stop all that hate in your heart! (Jokes!)
The Dior 1 was more obtainable than the LV AF1, at least for the Dior you had a tiny chance.. the AF1 is literally seeded or obscenely dumbly expensive
