What's your #1 sneaker of the year?

[@oyedotuno9014]

😬 tough choice 🥇 sb4 pine green 🥈 aj3 wc 🥉 Jarritos sb dunk low

[@saugatpradhan2942]

[@MrAntRose]

Agreed! Would’ve been way better then the same old people every year. I’m sick of seeing Clark Kent on these panels. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@lazeuno]

at least one of them

[@bsargeant88]

Can we get Ronnie Fieg on the panel next year? He’s unbiased about brands and would be in favor of some shoes other than AJ 1,3, and 4.

[@bern717]

Thank you! This is the sneaker equivalent of asking a bunch of MCU fanboys what the Movie of the Year is. You know they’re jus gonna pick comic book movies

[@SuperWhofan1]

Worst panel ever! If it’s not a hype Nike shoe they don’t rate it.

[@bsargeant88]

I think it would be nice to hear from folks who are more selective with their sneaker purchases and not those who can afford to just buy everything, wear it once, and then be done with it.@@SuperWhofan1

Exactly elite guest

[@shauncarlin4333]

Literally same as last year, only at 8 already hating the movements

[@BitterSeth]

This has all the energy of trying to lead a meeting at work that doesn’t have a clear agenda. Kudos to Joe for weathering the storm, but this panel needs a remix next year.

[@mdaddy9474]

thats a nice way of saying we are tired of Clark Kent

[@talonpolad9953]

There are so many sneakers that should have been on this list. Jae tips, Ronnie Fieg sambas, Action Bronson 990v6, and some others. The panel needs to be different and have some people represent the East Coast and other places in the world. Not just East coast people who obviously love only air force ones and Jordans.

[@heronshorts]

That's the problem with the credibility of the list, you get dudes who are biased and refuse to wear anything else other than nike or jordan. Everytime Nike retros a loved jordan it's always automatically top 5 thats always a given. There are many sneakers out there.

[@shauncarlin4333]

only at 8 and placing the Nocta over Bronson is a joke

[@jamesyang16]

Agreed. It's not 2002. Kids today don't wear air force ones like Jim Jones and Clark Kent believe they should.

[@madrush24]

💯

[@wutchamacallit]

Every year Complex’s Top 10 has become more disconnected from the culture. It’s like they’re sponsored by Nike and Jordan Brand. DJ Clark Kent hyping up the Vomero 5 over New Balance was WILD when we now Nike was biting off New Balance’s heritage with that model. This was Jordan Brand’s worst year for sneakers. Next year looks worse!

[@andytsui55]

they lost me as soon as they started talking about friends/family pairs and dropping so much $$$ on whatever pair. the 10 ten should always be accessible to the general public

[@wiktork]

yeah, and then Clark Kent want his freiends & familiy shoe to be on that list...

[@BigClaunch]

100% agree! No friends and family bs

[@990v6]

agreed

[@juancharley3203]

I’m glad the audience member called him out on it

[@d0ntchange]

Those CKs are toooooo weak.

[@SpareMoves]

Someday this conversation needs to be done with a group who cover sneakers all year as their day job from multiple independent entities.

[@kungfukaeden]

Right? Complex has such a broad platform (huge fan of their podcast) yet for some reason their annual list seems to be married to a very specific NY based circle of influence that I don't believe most of the US can relate to. The fact that the terror squad not only made the list, but also consumed 30% of the air time debating on where on the list it should be moved to just makes you question why you're even watching

[@thebros8157]

Oh you mean the guys are FSR? Kinda wild Brendan or Matt aren't on this.

[@SpareMoves]

@@thebros8157 yeah I’m sure they’ll do a version on FSR/complex sneakers podcast. But I get it, this platform needs the celebrity aspect to get views.

[@d0ntchange]

@@kungfukaedenThe same nonsense happened when this nearly same panel fought to get those weak Khaled 5s on the list simply bc he’s their friend who gave them pairs.

[@GVO003]

Facts

[@RashadMoncrief]

This list and panel is all over the place.

[@nathanmowat]

My thoughts exactly

[@chrisscanlan8819]

This year end list could be done so much better. Welty and Dunne should be involved, Jim Jones and Clark only likes AF1 and Jordans. Bring in a new panel in 2024. Guests should come in with their too 5 and compare.

[@amirimranz]

True Welty and Dunne are way better guests than them

[@tylerskrivanek988]

Welty and dunne basically make the list. And then don’t sit up there to defend it. Doesn’t make sense to me

[@ROCKBETHENAME]

They only like dad shoes for the most part so they aren’t no different & Clark & Jim are not the same Clark Knows sneakers

[@onemanarmy1873]

[@joeypetty4723]

I’m ready to start a gofundme to fly anyone other than Clark and Jim to the next panel! Clark hyping his own shoes that would be outlet specials if they were a GR and Jim spending a quarter of the time talking without a mic, then when he holds it up all I hear is Easter feets.

[@Doc19999]

It’s so obvious to me that the panel on these things every year are the wrong people !! Jim Jones shouldn’t be on no sneaker panel !! Let’s get a real sneaker panel let the people vote on the judges cuz these 4 people are out of touch

[@RichardOriginal]

need an episode of the pod discussing from complex pov why they made the list the way it is. actually talking about each sneaker moment and why it was deserving of the spot. felt like joe was trying to get there talking about the mesh shoe summer only for the convo to be dominated about vomeros in that section. NB and asics had a huge year and what about born raised and jarritos dunks not even discussed

[@kev6t9]

they will soon, they prolly already have some episodes recorded before this so we gotta wait

[@josef.gonzalez6292]

Dear Complex, I have been looking forward to this discussion for quite some time. Here are some thoughts. As both a long time viewer of both FSR and Complex Sneakers Pod/Show, I can tell you that not having the context for the list is a huge disservice. First and foremost however is the problem with the format in which this is being delivered. This conversation is more than an hour long and I don’t know why you are trying to limit this to an hour. ALLOW THE NECESSARY TIME for the panelists to make their argument, that is why they are there. Here is how I would improve this delivery if you NEED to keep it to an hour: 1. Give the list upfront in two sections. 10-6, 5-1 2. Keep a running scoreboard. This year, you guys upped your graphics game (Great job btw) with the screen in the back. The list should be put up and adjusted live as the discussion is being had. 3. If you are going to talk about Brendan and Welty, just have them be part of the panel and they can give the complex perspective as the two list sections are being given. 4. Make the panelist give you a ranked top ten, and have those list available so everyone can see all the shoes at once and they can shuffle selections. In all honesty, if this was 2 hours long, I know I’d watch it. I know people want to argue the size and composition of the panel. I get that. But the only way to expand the horizons of the panel with east and west coast influences, or as Clark says Sneaker vs Hype, then you have to make this discussion LONGER. It can be 7 people, but if they only have 10 seconds to talk, you can’t really get their perspective. Honestly, this year’s list was a miss, and it breaks my heart to say it. I truly appreciate all your hard work, and I know you can do better. I know you will. With much love and respect. -J

[@d0ntchange]

For the love of God they need to do better with selecting the panel. Yatchy definitely is solidified sneaker enthusiast and collector and has no issue with articulating his opinion on sneakers without bias. Unfortunately Clark is too condescending and closed off to anything that is not either an Air Force One or something made by a New Yorker to be on a panel discussing shoes that are mostly not AF1s and made a NY person. Jim is cool but he just supports what his industry friends put out…which is cool but too political for this debate. I think this panel should be the all stars of the best guest from Full Size Run, Sneaker Shopping, and The Sneaker Podcast to debate this list. People like Don’t Charge Abdul from DC should be on this panel because he know the knows.

[@990v6]

well said

[@lazeuno]

well said

[@juancharley3203]

We need Yachty, Ronnie Fieg, Brendan Dunne, and Nigo or just somebody that really represents and knows what’s going on beyond New York

[@juno4433]

I didn't see you say anything about Kristen, who was completely useless on the panel. Just as much as Jones.

[@bern717]

Word. One of them literally couldn’t even speak 😭😭

[@wizkidgizmo]

@@ibrandoncortes that's not entirely true. they both said they hate the shoe but that it will probably end up on the list bc they are trying to be impartial and they still think the shoe was a significant project, at least Brendan did, if it were up to welty the list would be all asics and newbalance I'm sure.

1. Please get some unbiased panels. Panels that literally love different brands, silhouettes, pay attention on what people buy & wear. The fact that they didn't understand and even hated AB's 990v6 being on the list already means they don't deserve to be there. 2.

[@NoFat16]

This video frustrates me so much. It frustrates me because I always look forward to it as I love hearing discussions around sneakers and comparing/ranking them and yet, for the second year in a row, it just ends in a big disappointment. The panel barely gives any interesting arguments, they just argue over a position in the ranking. I don't mind the TS AF1, but talk to me about their significance, about why they are so impressive. There's also no chemistry at all, the way some guests reply to JLP when he tries to balances things out is just conflictual and disrespectful. Complex should be the #1 source for sneakers content. For it to remain this way I feel like their end of the year list should be a must. It should be THE list. Right now it is a joke only carried by big names and high subscribers count. People love sneakers, they want to hear the panel talk about them and the way they impacted the year. My solution? Start from scratch, invite people who work in the industry and really care about them. There were so many amazing guests on the Complex podcast this year, people with cool stories to share. I want them on this panel. p.s.: I really don't care about how many pairs of rare shoes some rich celebrity owns. This discussion should not be about you, it should be about the sneakers.
