My New Balance Sneaker of the Year List! (Top Ten)

[@Cesar_saynomore]

Up there 🔝

[@danielherrera3104]

Nice list, with personality. You have to get the harlows, they are even better in hand.

[@samdopkosky]

I’ll for sure be picking them up soon!

[@tomtracks3007]

Love these videos. Keep it up bro ❤...I finally got a pair of 991v2's tks to you! 🙌

[@samdopkosky]

I really appriciate the support🤞 I’m glad you copped a pair! Enjoy them!!

[@kevincollins8620]

4:33 You said everything I felt about this sneaker and Jack. I'm older but support anyone doing things a little different. Before what's popping dropped Jack was slated to hit my town for only a few bucks. I feel Loose was NEW at the time. The pandemic went full swing so he canceled blew up and never returned. My friends run that venue and it's funny he never came back... only 18 people had tickets at the time. 😂😂 I liked that he was in his NB bag even all the way back then.

[@samdopkosky]

That would have been insane to see Jack Harlow for a few bucks 🤣 he’s very talented and deserves everything he has. Im looking forward to what he will bring the NB in 2025

[@kevincollins8620]

Your fave NB is my favorite artist collab. But I can't deny... that Loafer in silver is MY pick.

[@cgafken]

I was so hyped to have posted the first leaks of the Rosewaters, The Complex Sneakers Shoe used my photo at 15:01 of the Jan.19th 24’ episode I do household moves and was moving a NBA employee who was wear testing them a year early

[@samdopkosky]

That’s actually so sick! I would be so hype if I was just working one day and saw the rosewater. Thanks for the early pictures lol

[@zachhensel5480]

Prom blue even look good in fresh snow

[@kevincollins8620]

9:32 I was saying this too about this kick. The shoe is stylish... but it's not for me. But neither are air force 1. Not every shoe is for me. But I'm not offended by em. I'd definitely take em out for a hike!! But I know I wouldn't be pumped to casual the way I do the retro kicks I dig

[@notitleproductions]

Awesome list/video bro! Would have to say of all my misses, those Vintage Sport 991v2's are at the top! Versatile list, and cool that you were able to pick up a bunch of them. The Lava and Magma 1906r's I'm very happy to have in the collection, def his best drop until those 991v2's hit next year. Wishing you and your family a happy New Year's and you continued success with the channel and your collection. 🫡

[@samdopkosky]

I really appreciate it coming from you! You are very lucky to have both the salhe 1906s! Those 991v2s are at the top of my wish list for 2025. Have a happy new year and I look forward to seeing your channel take off in the new year! Cheers 🫡

[@notitleproductions]

@ not sure if the channel will ever “take off” like that, but I appreciate the well wishes! As long as enough NB-heads find it and enjoy the collection, that’s good enough for me. Health and happiness for my family and friends is the most important moving forward. All the best bro, til the next one 🫡

[@UncleJaxsie]

One of the pairs that I picked up this year that I loved (didn’t release this year) is the 992 Kithmas teal. It’s coming in January and I cannot wait for it lol

[@aCrowsfeet]

Picked up the burgundy 992 kithmas this year too…it’s kinda nice to see resell lose some steam, just to go back in time and hunt a few gems I missed out on

[@samdopkosky]

The 992 kithmas is one of my all time grails that I hope to have some day! So glad you got a pair, enjoy them!!

[@Jwilson0204]

The recent Auralee 990v4’s I think were one of my favourite two releases from 2024, especially the London Fog pair as it’s been a minute since I picked up a grey/taupe NB shoe

[@samdopkosky]

The Auralee 990v4 really took over once they came out, everyone was showing them off. They are a top tier pair-both of them.

[@ricardoramirez2057]

Can you do a review on the NB 1000 titular grey/ deep plum

[@samdopkosky]

When I get my hands on a pair I got you

[@callmemrdee]

I made my own TOP 10 as well, and Number 1 is the same among all collaborations. They are just FIRE! I still didn't got mine yet, will buy later anyway =)

[@samdopkosky]

A must have sneaker! When you get them you won’t be able to stop rocking them!

[@callmemrdee]

@ no doubts 👍

[@JackGregory-lw7rp]

Those are sick picks! I got some 550s today and am loving them!!

[@samdopkosky]

Thanks!! The 530 is going to have a big year in 2025. Enjoy them!!

[@sappyjoker]

Don’t get me wrong, I can’t think of a lifestyle shoe more comfortable than new balance but for the life of me, especially with running, I don’t understand why you ignore the fuel cell and fresh foam performance lines. Especially since you’re a sneaker head that buys many shoes

[@bobfreking]

Cause they ugly… hahaha But seriously though, i do get the comfort but lookswise, they don’t come any close.

[@sappyjoker]

@ Oh, I agree, they’re performance shoes, I wouldn’t wear them casually, but it’s just strange being like “About to go for a run, time to lace up the 990’s!”

[@samdopkosky]

For me, the lifestyle models just fit into my life better. If I’m going to spend $200 on a sneaker I will want to be sure I’ll wear it a lot. I probably won’t wear a rebel v4 in my everyday life. I have so much respect for those models and I know I need to check them out!

[@nbfeen]

I don’t get how ppl can trash someone’s top 10. It’s literally all subjective lol. I had some pairs I also agreed on as top 10 (amine 740, salehe 1906r (was my #1), Action’s medusa azul), there are some I would have swapped out.. I put in the 3 I just named along with the auralee 990v4 trooper, ald 860v2 orange, basement 1906r nightchrome, size? bacon 860v2, upthere 860v2 (but the green pair), the salehe 530 & the concepts 740. I own every pair in my top 10 besides the salehe 1906r & upthere 860v2 but they are on my wishlist lol Def was a great year for NB.. I’m actually in Boston right now on a little vacation and going to concepts, bodega & the NB flagship store tomorrow , can’t wait… dope video though keep em coming, we need more NB videos on YT 👊🏼🤙🏼

[@samdopkosky]

Yeah I agree, it’s literally just my opinion 🤣 You have a very solid list, I can’t argue with any of those pairs! Going to Boston is my dream vacation spot simply because of new balance. Enjoy your time in Boston and pick up so pairs!

[@Kasped-xm8yz]

That was trash
