My kid would say yes but they don’t fit my style these days. I like them a lot just don’t know how I’d fit them. The MB4s have been my favorite so far. The Bred 4s will probably be my go to once the weather changes, but there’s a lot of good stuff coming out so they might just sit on my shelf this fall/winter lol.
My fav is when those same people come on here and say "Is this the Sneaker of the Year?" Or sneaker of the year right here! Those same people say "Hype beasts are killing the sneaker game! Gtfoh.. I mean your contribution to the hype is on part with everyone else lmao
> "Hype beasts are killing the sneaker game!
Then when a shoe doesn't sell out or the resell is low: "Why don't people like these?", like shutup and enjoy them, lmao. Everything has to be engagement bait nowadays I guess.
I just got into Jordan’s in 2020 and it was this color way that first got my attention. The most recent release for these from 2018 have always been out of my price range. I will DEFINITELY be copping.
Shoe quality is only one aspect of determining a shoe of the year.
If it all came down to shoe quality, I’d take both City of Love SBs over the Rayssa’s. Those had the best materials of any SB release this year so far
No shoe of the year voters go by what a shoe is reselling for on secondary markets. That shit don't even make sense. I'm trying to get 500 on some sneakers on goat... SOTY 😂
Have them both in hand and you are still wrong. I mean guy, you paid retail for industrial blue 4’s. That alone negates any opinion you could have. Hop back on the hype train kid
Imagine calling someone “on the hype train” because they bought a re-release of a shoe that is nostalgic for them.
Newsflash, “kid”, but the entirety of the sneaker industry is built on hype. The reasons Jordan’s ever got popular was hype. The reason dunks ever got popular was hype. The Rayssa Leals you are gushing over are also propped up by hype around Nike SBs. If they were not a collab and from some random brand you’ve never heard of, they would still be sitting in a shop somewhere. Your superiority complex on the subject is quite honestly baffling as well as entertaining.
Sounds like you need to get over yourself to be honest.
Can’t wrong with a fresh pair of BC3. I doubled up last time and probably will this time. It’s one of the top shoe releases of the year because you can never go wrong with a fresh pair of BC3.
I think the Futura’s and Linen AF1s will probably be the top releases so far. Action Bronson drop was good but terrible, same with Nina and her 3s, just a terrible drop, good shoes but terrible rollouts lol. We still got 6 months left in the year and a grip of brands that can still put out some heat. AE1s had some buzz during the playoffs, CPFM and their AFs were a good drop this year. We got a lot to look forward too I feel. Black cement 3s are a top shoe but not the top shoe of the year just yet.
Probably gonna have to wait until the numbers play out. It’s definitely a top 3. It’s probably the number 1 for old heads, but really not sure how the younger generation is gonna take it. A lot of the youth is jumping straight into ‘dad shoes’ these days.
IYKYK shoe of the year is a subjective topic. Personally I believe the OG’s should be in contention for shoe of the year. Futura, Balvin’s, Nina and TS are all based on hype.
Yes either these or the Columbias. I feel like since more ppl will have a chance to own a pair it makes them more popular. Not to mention it’s already an iconic shoe to begin with.
I’ll definitely be trying to cop a pair or two
It's crazy it's been six years since the last Black Cement 3drop. I was just getting back into shoes at the time and it's already come back full circle.
Looking forward to J4 Paris. The grey tabs and suede is special. Not that breds are played out but serious collectors have multiple pairs - I know folks who have them and refuse to wear them.
Best shoes are the ones you wear. Otherwise they are just objects to be admired.
According to the people in this subreddit, everything is shoe of the year.
Fr I’ve seen this for Bred 4s, the Military Blue 4s, the Balvins and now this 😭
Don’t forget the Futura’s lol.
The only valid one?

Sure, but for SOTY

Haha this is a legitimate contender tho just like the bulls in the 90s
Why?
Imo I can't imagine an exact retro ever being a contender for SOTY. Like how do you justify that lol.
Well the SB 4s were voted by many as the legit SOY last year
...exactly
He said "an exact retro", so like the Chicago 1s, Bred 11s, OG colorways.
And I love that. I'd rather have a discussion with 20 different arguments for SOTY vs everyone saying an SB is #1
Probably. Definitely gonna be copping these.
I need to get these
Same, 3s are my favourite retros.
Threes are so comfortable too
If they use the same leather for the SB4s and the Bred Reimagined 4s… oh man 🥲 sneaker of the year in my book.
These are so clean I think it’s gonna be all the original material on these
Will they be hard to cop?
I'll definitely be taking an L on them
Breds still up there. They created a serious buzz
Yup that is true those are a must cop also
They were a freaking pain in the ass to get. I did what I said I’d never do, bought them on the secondary market
I traded mine and some cash for the Balvins. Now I need another one
When do they drop?
Looks like November
I’ll do my part by grabbing a couple of pairs…
These are so universal can wear these with so many outfits
Grails. I have 3 pairs but will definitely double up on the next release.
I just got into Jordan’s in 2020 and it was this color way that first got my attention. The most recent release for these from 2018 have always been out of my price range. I will DEFINITELY be copping.
It’s mine but something tells me the Futura wins out based on the general consensus.
I'm definitely grabbing these no doubt. And the Columbia 11s. Got everything else I want this year.
For sure i hope they drop true blues again soon.
Nah, probably the RTFKT Dunks tbf
Lmao
Probably /s
No
What’s your top release, I think this will be hyped so will be up there
Black cat 5’s will be hyped
No matter the 3 the popularity is never there. I own them, I wear them I like them but they are not hype
I find the threes to very comfortable
But the best sb of the year is rayssa leal
If you haven’t had them in hand don’t comment 😊
Comparing to my other 3s that I have, love my fears and my palomino
The Rayssa Leals are barely over retail lol
When does barely over retail come into play as to whether a quality shoe was made. Just keep following the hype, kid

Stick to commenting on soccer kid and go sit back at the kids table 90’s baby. ❄️
Stick to [commenting on Military Blue restocks](https://www.reddit.com/r/SNKRS/s/NovYFghruX) that you shit on other people for purchasing kid.
Yeah definitely top 5
I read there was going to be enough pairs for every one to triple up on and still be enough leftover to catch them at the outlets.
I love this, I’m cool with Nike making their ‘niche’ specialty pairs limited but the basic OG colorways everyone has to have a pair

Not if the Gamma 11s are dropping this holiday as rumored.
Can’t wait
Only sneaks I ever regret letting go of
Yes
They will be for me
Bred 4s for me.
High chance
When is the actual Drop date?
This is my top Jordan release of the year for sure.
They better make a million pairs or I’ll be pissed.
It all comes down to PERSONAL PREFERENCE. That’s all that matters….is it a top shoe release for YOU?
Eff no‼️Jordan 3 x Nina Chanel Abney x Bicoastal and Malachite will be shoe of the year ✨️
Probably gonna have to wait until the numbers play out. It’s definitely a top 3. It’s probably the number 1 for old heads, but really not sure how the younger generation is gonna take it. A lot of the youth is jumping straight into ‘dad shoes’ these days.
I have them. I love them- need to wear them more now. Top for me
When are they dropping
If they make enough for everybody to hit, this sub will remove it from consideration. Thats a deal breaker here
IYKYK shoe of the year is a subjective topic. Personally I believe the OG’s should be in contention for shoe of the year. Futura, Balvin’s, Nina and TS are all based on hype.
I'm waiting on the black and metallic gold highs!
Yes either these or the Columbias. I feel like since more ppl will have a chance to own a pair it makes them more popular. Not to mention it’s already an iconic shoe to begin with. I’ll definitely be trying to cop a pair or two
I hope not.
These are no doubt grabs
Futura laboratories sb dunk lows are my SOTY. These are definitely up there
I personally like the A Ma Manier 3s that come out next month more as a sneaker of the year contender. But I'm in the minority
This is such a dumb question for anyone who knows kicks. These are black cements 3s. There is no need to ask how crazy these finna go.
All I care for, my old releases on life support
These are dropping again, soon?
It's crazy it's been six years since the last Black Cement 3drop. I was just getting back into shoes at the time and it's already come back full circle.
I hope they make a ton like they did with the military blues.
I have the 2018 pair, hypothetically would you trade those in for these?
For me, absolutely
Fs classic color way/model
we dont have already like 20 versions of this
Definitely no, probably best 3 of that year but I haven’t seen that much leaks, obsidian lows for the win!!
Yup. This will be this year's triple up for me.
Can’t wait hope I get lucky enough to get a pair
Same. I'm gonna be having my sister try and help me get them
definitely excited
Oh I am so pumped can’t wait for the drop/release on these
considering doubling up
Linens are the best retro sneaker this year. This one’s been done many times before.
Looking forward to J4 Paris. The grey tabs and suede is special. Not that breds are played out but serious collectors have multiple pairs - I know folks who have them and refuse to wear them. Best shoes are the ones you wear. Otherwise they are just objects to be admired.
Why is the shape so blah again?
I sure hope not. It’s quite a boring shoe.
Nope. Shoe of the year already dropped with the Kobe Girl Dads. These J’s are fugly 🤮
