[@TooMuchNutz]

1. Reimagined wc3 2. Pine green Sb4 3. Nb 990v6 Lapis Lazuli

[@pattonPwr]

AJ3 reimagined white cement // NB 990v6 lapis lazuli // Jordan 1 low 85 neutral grey

[@thesacredflame663]

I’m surprised how nuanced your list is and not in a “I’m trying to be different from the rest” kind of way. Happy New Years!

[@thenaijalorian296]

This is the best year end best of list I have seen. The versatility of the selections shows true sneakers love, not hypebeast pandering. Well done!

[@Ripples11k]

I love that this video is just Hes talking about a bunch of shoes he really likes. It’s really fun to hear about

[@Mambacit0]

finally someone mentioned the Kith 993 collab. That Spring 101 shoe is so fire. Definitely my sleeper pick of the year.

[@GTfromAG]

Nice list👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥. Cant wait to do my top 10 pickups. I had a slow year in sneakers, but was still able to make a list.

[@michaelschiller6204]

Enjoyed the vid Hes! Great variety of kicks! 🔥

[@Daewonnni]

The shape and the materials on the royal reimagined are great. I think these are slept on and are going to get some love down the track.

[@bigpat1003]

The Jordan 11 Gratitude is the type of shoe that looks even better in hand and on feet 🔥

[@DoctorMahek]

and yes to your #4 for the Jordan 5 AMA Dawn. I love the details. and the fact that they took out the puffy part at the top.

[@vanessaguerra8975]

I don’t think your number 2 is weird at all! NB grey kicks are pretty much a must have if you’re a fan of the brand but the 991v2 really blew it out of the park. From the updated materials to keeping classic design language and the slightly darker grey color they used I think it’s the best gray NB to release last year. I also really loved the grey day pairs that released but the 991v2 was on top of my list for sure. Great list Hes!

[@qhorton6743]

Is there any way that you could do a video of 90's shoe cushioning tech? Something that would feature the following: Fila 2A Converse React BK Diamond Cell Asics Gel Reebok Hexalite (original Hexalite) / DMX (orignal DMX) And Im probably forgetting some other brands / tech but you get the idea. Thanks and keep up the good work man!

[@TheKesavan08]

So nice to see Hes’s weird picks. I wouldn’t bother watching other KZbinrs’ lists, they’re basically a copy/paste of the same hyped up sneakers. 😂 My top 3 pick ups.. END clothing Samba, Solebox Ultra 4d, Jean Paul Gaultier Vaporwaffle Woven white.

[@Fiendy]

Hes just trying to be different to get little Timmies like you talking about how his so different from the rest.

[@elijahdelacruz3204]

Glad to see the Adidas 4D Ultra Miles Morales pair in the top 10. I have a pair and to some people they may be too over the top but I just Love them! Although I’m surprised to not see the Air Max One 86 Big Bubble in the og Red colorway in the list. I’d say that pair is at least a top 15, cause it’s the Air Max One but in how it was originally released, and it’s actually more comfortable than the regular Air Max Ones that we all know.

[@karenk3458]

I agree I really like that 991V2 model I just heard they were narrow so I’ve been debating on picking them up!

[@ChilledNurse]

I didn’t buy many shoes this year because my baby was born in May, so priorities changed. I did pick up those Stone Island NB Fuelcell C1s and goodness the comfort on those is insane!

[@blackgoblin1004]

Thank you for actually waiting for the end of the year and not having a list before Thanksgiving.

[@Joose]

Nice to see that someone actually appreciates the Reimagined Royals for what they are, instead of just being salty about what they're not.

[@Exjapter]

Thanks for a very real list and a heads up on comfortable and quality kicks beyond the hype

[@rossmacdonald8945]

Nice seeing a list that isnt obvious and with SB 4s in number 1 spot, great video

[@DoctorMahek]

I'm going to do the Bodega yellow and blue mismatch on purpose for 2024 for the NB 574 Bodega that were slept on.

[@DUNGSTA]

RIP sb4s

[@sig310]

Yo those NB 990 DTLR's colorway is crazy! Might need those lol

[@aforeignstory]

Can you drop a link of something for #21 I need them Asap

[@commentator2.0]

Dope list. Hes is the most legit sneakerhead on KZbin

[@Andy4543]

You should do more bape reviews bro. Like OG bape

[@Differ_Entertainment]

The ACW TN98s are MUCH nicer than the Nike Air Max 20th anniversary TNs you chose 😅 although i do like the colour fade effect on the ones you chose 👏👏👏

[@flexbigfoot1949]

Great video. Paliminos were the only crossover with my Top 10 of the year. I don’t like pre-aged so I actually preferred Wizards to Reimagined 3’s.

[@CalejG-br8pv]

For me the Fear 3’s were the nicest but I think 3’s are nicer in darker colours. Hoping to get the Black Cat 3’s this year. Reimagined’s were very overrated IMO

[@flexbigfoot1949]

@@CalejG-br8pv I agree. The Desert Elephant would have made my Top 10 video but they were a 2022 purchase. Having those might have swayed me away from the Fears but considering the Black Cats.

[@Wladislav]

Such a bummer that the Doernbecher shoes are not released in Europe. (Maybe not even anywhere outside the USA?)

[@MG-qd6im]

Wishing you a 2024 full of quality materials, Hes. DRINK!

[@mohtown8751]

My top shoes for 2023: Jim Green African Rangers barefoot, Lems Chillum and Lems Kourt

[@dermagere]

i got both 30th qnniversary bape forum for 105 a pair instead of 180 and they are great

[@MrRashad8869]

Bapes were done so well!! I love the green pair

[@dermagere]

@@MrRashad8869 for sure :)

[@DoctorMahek]

My top 3 in no order: Nike Air Jordan 5 AMA Dawn, New Balance 990v6 Grey Day, and AURALEE Bone White 1906r

[@TooMuchNutz]

Those dawn 5’s are your sneaker of the year? Nice; it reminded me of the independence day 5’s that came out in 2011 in some odd way

[@TooMuchNutz]

My bad i just comprehended you saying “in no order”

[@willkim2269]

TOTALLY agree on the 991v2

[@arielalvarez5543]

I’m from Long Beach,NY… where can I get dat tee from bro??🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Leveleup543]

Nice list. Glad to see someone not list off a bunch go hype beast dribble

[@yusanw]

i lucked out on the Gift of Mamba this week after trying for the two grinches and failing. would that have made this list if you had got em?

[@cloutdevil2030]

Ultraboost 1.0 2.0 3.0 especially and 4.0 are goated

[@cloutdevil2030]

Those tan and blue dunks are fire tho never seen those 🔥

[@InvisibleMag]

You would think 2023 wouldve been the year of Jordan since its his jersey number but next years releases look even better :/

[@6eostorm]

The Palomino’s Jordan 1 at number 20 spot is crazy 😝👎🏽

[@Fiendy]

He didn’t even mentioned the SB4’s which it made me unsubscribe from this runned down wack channel 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@CalejG-br8pv]

I don’t agree with your list at all but at the same time I loved the originality of your list. This year I got Jordan 1’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, 6’s, 11’s, Dunks, YZY’s, etc but among my favourites are my Campus 00s, a pair of J1 mids and a pair of Puma Suedes. Like what you like, Rock what you want, too many lists are just all the same hype-beast verbal diarrhea.

[@craiggorman1685]

A 2 toned midsole on the anniversay TN'S wouldve been so much better

[@ChrisB-vb9hh]

Interesting list? To each their own 🙏

[@ducky25410]

THE DOPEST NONE HYPE BEST TOP 23 PICKUPS OF THE YEAR BEST IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.

[@bman_dc]

Hes might be the only person to call Fear of God products FOG lol

[@ocqua]

Cant wait for top 99 of 2099! 💀🤮

[@CHICAGOAT23]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Alexanderthegr800]

Don’t think he will be here lol

[@silentbutdeadly3466]

Lol

[@kylersoul]

Shoes that Adjust to your Size

[@qhorton6743]

​@@kylersoulyep and same for cushioning system

[@latinorock]

Fire list

[@WayneLiu945]

Nice vid and honestly so sick of those sneakers of the year videos everyone is doing, rather see what your favorite cops of the year

[@alphatango7720]

No Reverse Kobe Grinch?! 😬

[@Vin-fu1rm]

Good thing for 1:1 reps

[@tripleblack3160]

Top 23 soft and squishy shoes of 2023

[@Differ_Entertainment]

The NTW and Dizygotics are GREAT to be on your list, but they are MUCH nicer than the majority of the Nikes higher up on your list. There is a REASON Nikes Aren't selling out like they used to. Nike's oversaturation of the industry was a BAD move. Sheeple might be comfortable, but they Dont make anyone Feel special.

[@MrWade931]

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the DBs collection this year…

[@STartAndDesign]

The Stone Island 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌

[@TimDash]

Maddy Dunks should have been number 1

[@premeloanthony1953]

yee what up hes

[@yeti_369]

Ppl who wear Jordans past the age of 26, look mad goofy

[@1908mike]

Very weird number 2 spot

[@xLastHopeForWorld]

this year was so weak as well ... last good year was 2020

[@Badmansband]

99% of collaborations are over the top lazy. Bang on the side of box the name of the collaborator and call it a collab and change a premium.

[@dermagere]

if it ain't adidas or nike it is trash ~ dermagere, 2023

[@rabarberellum1017]

We need a new Yeezy-type brand a.s.a.p. Not only to give the sneaker community a new vibe, also because Nikes and Jordans are rather lackluster without severe competition.

[@TooMuchNutz]

Imo i think new balance has surpassed majority of the popular non-jordan brand nike sneakers

[@TooMuchNutz]

A good amount of certain new balance sneakers i mean

[@rigelgamagamefowl8301]

most of these sneakers are not even comfortable to wear
