Complexcon 2018 Brands

Many thanks to technical technology, new shapes, as well as haute couture partnerships, 2018 was a massive year for sneakers. Damaging down the year's releases with a variety of panelists like DJ Clark Kent, Trinidad James, Allen Iverson, host Joe La Puma moderated ComplexCon's 2018 Tennis shoe of the Year panel.

Taking this year's offerings and assembling a list of the leading 10 drops was no simple job, as well as rating those sneakers was also harder-- particularly live, in front of an opinionated crowd. Including popular launches like the Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Max 180, Air Jordan collabs, and the Yeezy 500, each panelist had plenty to state concerning the tennis shoes and where they arrived on their individual top 10 checklists.

Discussing social importance, historical relevance, and trying to divide the art from the artist-- when it pertains to Kanye West's tennis shoes-- the panelists bounced about from complete agreement to healthy and balanced debate. Have a look at the video clip Complexcon vlog above to hear the complete conversation as well as to figure out how this year's finest launches ranked.
