[@Eddiewinkicks]

Here’s my top 10 "Grown Man" Streetwear Pickups of 2023 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pF7FXp6cYrh2bqM

[@HarryHas]

Thanks for the shoutout, Eddie! Really appreciate it! You are 100% right too. I have those sneakers and love them. Happy holidays man!

[@DylanLey]

Some of my favorite "grown man" kicks are some of the recent Teddy Santis NBs: the Olive 990v4 and the Burgundy 990v6. Both are rock solid and versatile colorways on solid models! Also, those White/Black/Gum Dunks you featured are clean AF!

[@Rockit1st]

What happened to Saucony in your rotation? They have fire releases. Ben a minute since I’ve seen them or Asics mentioned in your vids.

[@sergioalejos879]

I'm completely agree with that Jordan choices 🙌

[@MinGraves]

Jordan 1 retro low or high and airships are my go to for grown men sneakers. Vomero is a new go to for workout or relax fit. New pick up fear of god basketball 1 is fire dressed up fit

[@silvercat6425]

My grown man shoes is Jordan 11 Air max Air Force 1 Old school reebok It's how you put yourself together, as long as you don't dress like jim Jones

[@Joe-qr6ft]

Stepney Workers Club - Pearl S Strike, it's a mouthful but I love them. Little on the chunkey side but still a great, under-the-radar sneaker.

[@phillip_reynolds]

That T500 is fuego! I want it in the dark green and white. That Air Ship is nice too.

[@QueMusiQ]

LOVE the Burgundy V’s! That’s my favorite right now. As a Morehouse man who wears a lot of the maroon school colors, these are a MUST.

[@theironlion7122]

You should check out the Stan smith crepe bottom in black. It goes crazy and it’s def grown man style

[@diegoe4764]

I love my craft olive 4’s!!! They are nice on foot!! 🔥🔥

[@CorGP]

All I’ve been rocking in 2023 are reimagined 3s, waverunners, and Birkenstocks. Throw in the beef n brocs for fall/winter and I’m set. I’m pretty set with that line up if I only had 3-4 to choose from.

[@nikchris69]

waverunners ewww

[@ChillGrk611]

i brought out a pair of Paris St Germain 5 Lows, the Craft 4 looks legit i want to try them on since you said no toe pinching.

[@davidhigh7306]

Shoe review on point as always, took me a minute to figure out the background track, Souls of Mischief.

[@austinrukweza455]

That last fit was 🔥

[@angk9561]

I hate how society tells u that because ur older u have to forget the person u have been ...and become the best version of during ur teens...20s...30s..and now u gotta become a new 'mature' person and dress and act differently... like u got 1 foot in the grave because they think ur acting immature or ur trying to hold onto ur youth...and it makes them uncomfortable....i got no time for that...imma be me...the only person i know how to be..the person who lived through my teens 20s 30s etc and developed a sharper mind ....while keeping my style ..

[@Simple_Galaxy]

My favorite “grown man” pair I picked up this year is the New Balance X Teddy Santis 990v6 in the mindful grey color way. Looks so sophisticated and comfortable

[@NoOneCaresIckyThump]

Really wanted those Retro 3's but good luck unless you have giant or tiny feet or want to pay resale. The face the girl at Champs made when I asked for my size said it all. 😅

[@CorGP]

Resale was at or under retail when they first came out. Right now they aren’t at a bad price, I would go for them if I was you.

[@mateoperez7]

990v4 Olive Incense & 990v6 Mindful Grey… Chefs kiss💯

[@faghiurageorge]

On nb 990v4 you buy size 11 or 11,5? Thanks!

[@FUJITRACK10]

No mention for adidas spezial or og samba’s or Diadora Borg elite’s?

[@BOYSKIE143]

Ilike your fashion win. Fan from philippines here😊👌

[@MrGoosey4]

Anyone know where the olive green pants are from at 3:07?

[@dadkicks]

Love ya Eddie. Merry Xmas. But a grown man list without a J1 come on man!!!

[@Tdavis_413]

Thank you for speaking on the comfort of the Jordan 4, always hesitant to buy some of the Jordan retros due to toe pinching.

[@marulasraymo]

The gum bottom sbs are goated

[@albertoreyes7841]

Where'd you get that sweater?

[@DoctorMahek]

So many more: NB cream brown 990v6, moonbeam 990v3s, 990v1 Carhartt's (subtle logo use), etc.

[@EugeneClarke-n8s]

What 1/4 pull over top you wear?

[@anthonybencivengo926]

Nike prestos.. I’m turning 40 and have a wide foot, they are most comfortable and my favorite all around shoe

[@Rr-j4x]

grown man shoes to me was oxfords,chelsea and chukka boots.

[@animalrave7167]

Which version of those do you like?

[@relentlesseducator]

The Ronnie Fieg Clark’s 8th Street Samba was it for me.

[@ryancrawford8042]

Same

[@garywinthorpe4459]

I.D. on the quarter zip you’re wearing?

[@christheara]

the harry has shoutout is class

[@rickquesada925]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@blackoutmike]

I recently picked up am90 iron grey pretty easy to wear 🤙

[@nikkid4880]

Got the 990v4s as well. These caught my attention before release. Waited for them to go on sale and honestly one of my favorite teddy santis releases. First 990v4 and will not be the last.

[@sidathwijeratne7168]

The Jordan 2 low cherrywood should be on this list… they have a mature look to them and they can be dressed up and down imo

[@OfficialAceBoogie]

Another 🔥🔥 video

[@zepcrazyfre]

Merry Holidays Winner!!!! 💯💪🗣️

[@tishabobbitt2624]

Let's go Eddie! Happy new year 🎉 ✨️

[@babyluke_1822]

I included the blue jordan 5s to my collection for similar reasons, I'm a cowboys fan. LOL.

[@ThabBodyJab]

Those T500’s are absolutely FIRE🔥😭

[@seasevisionmedia]

Those uptown’s with the gum bottom are hard! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ryancrawford8042]

Hit a lot of them but you missed the 8th street/fieg samba. Great shoe!

[@JayJunior1974]

For business casual , I can say my KOIO Capri are more comfortable than any Jordan or sb dunk. If I’ll be walking around more than 4 hours , I’ll always wear my Brooks adrenaline

[@TheSonOfSomeMan45]

Very dope bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mrk3270]

Thank you for your content 👍🏻

[@Mari000]

Olive 4s 🔥🔥🔥

[@GoodfellaNell]

I've been buying up the new balance 650 like crazy. They look good and the sales price is a steal. I got 6 pairs...all general releases. I want a few more colors including a few ALD pairs. Pair the 650s with a trench coat, scarf, and " BOOM!" (John Madden voice) u good to go.

[@my_RS4]

Good list, doggie!

[@Trollzrule]

Bro what top/sweater is that?

[@SeanMcMillan-mu3ln]

Love the air ships

[@jiggylifestyle]

Grown man vibes 💪🏽💯

[@blahfever7186]

Those white and green NB 990v4 are so clean! I picked up a pair during Black Friday sale and can’t wait to wear them on my vacation in February. I passed on the olive AJ4 b/c I ended up picking up the olive/incense NB 990V4 on a sale. Some solid sneakers in this list. ✌️

[@nick_a_pagan]

Some solid stuff on this list

[@LuchaGangsta]

Palomino 3s definitely grown man sneaker of the year. Imo

[@Axe_z33]

The gratitude 11’s

[@flimgenco]

8th Street Sambas. I’m so high on these. 😅

[@sethburnham7264]

Love your grown man lists. WC 3’s are the easy sneaker of the year. I doubled up as well. I really like the Burgundy 5’s, but passed on them on the drop, hoping to find them at an outlet. Same with the Olive 4’s, also because I have the Photon Dust Craft 4’s that are the same design.

[@dfpurton]

When I read grown man sneakers i expected suggestions along the lines of canvas shoes with vulcanised soles or more of the gazelle style shoes. Most of this list is just hype driven. Here’s a tip: grown men aren’t typically swayed by the latest hype drop.

[@mikeysyke]

I get why you say the term ‘grown man’ but I feel there is another way you can describe it. I mean I wouldn’t all a Jordan 5 with that high tongue, grown man. Maybe mature, understated, low key flex??? I don’t know. Still keep doing your thing, as an older man himself I appreciate what you’re doing.

[@sikhumbuzomnguni9811]

lol 😂 true 4’s are painful however they are drip 💧

[@jimbomr.1913]

Fun idea keep going

[@73ocampo]

No CPFM Flea 2 ? Just kidding! Thank you for the video

[@cuzz420]

air max 2 cb 94 og air Jordan 8 playoff

[@playingindies6730]

For how my feet fall, the Jordan 1 is quite great, while the 3 is near unwearable. You remember the SB Ishod, the one with the insane React insole? Well the shoe itself died on me quickly, but I put the insoles in a pair of 3's. Solved the issue completely! Super comfortable. They should sell that insole separately.. My feet are long and narrow. I'm in the Netherlands btw. The AF1 is by far the most popular here. You see them everywhere. Especially the standard white on white. So I make it a thing to never get the AF1 white on white standard ones. So when I got a pair of whites, I went with the jewel swoosh one. Just to make it slightly different. But I see more and more N's popping up! ❤ Adidas Samba is just ugly to me, long shoes 😅 on screen but also in person. I only like them on people with very small sizes, like US8 and down. I'm a size US9 myself. But I do heavily prefer bulky shoes. I would love for that extremely wide skating shoe trend to come back for a while. Also question, the SB dunks, are they actually better than normal dunks? And then mostly the upper? Like, softer and all? I noticed a pair of brownish sitting but I was in doubt because the pair of dunks that I own is shit 😂

[@alexandercompres7425]

How about some business casual videos?

[@kaneda4102]

I’m still on the fence with those 4’s- the seams, the patch, the mesh, that’s too much for me

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

Nice

[@moesly3252]

really cannot wait till everyone hops off the new balance wave .

[@mrartdeco]

Literally a lot of succesful people I know wears and collects toys of all shape and kind. They are only become “grown man” when they’re working.

[@gilbertoflores7397]

Are "grown men" suppose to wear sweatpants? I don't think they would, not publicly. I also think the staples are chucks, stan smiths, or common projects.

[@WhatShallEyeDo4U]

Great video... The only thing that I'd disagree on is the use of the word premium when it comes to anything Nike... Like... It's mostly top grain with plastic coating. Looks good, but definitely not premium. Rose Anvil has done some videos on Nikes.

[@donaldkey9074]

As a 45 year old man, the only ones I own and would wear from that top 10 are the Jordan 3’s and 4’s. The rest look like $10 sneakers

[@Eddiewinkicks]

So you’re a Jordans only guy, I respect that. But I’m about the variety, I need more out of my footwear than 80’s basketball

[@donaldkey9074]

@@Eddiewinkicks I knew someone would say that. I’m not a Jordan’s only guy, I own Uptempo’s, Air Max 1’s, 90’s, 95’s and 97’s, Kobe’s, Air Force, CB34’s, Nocta’s, Flight 89’s, Sacai, Gaultier and KD’s I’m just giving honest opinion about the ones you chose 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t know their names but I feel like I saw much nicer new balances released this year and other pairs more suitable. Anyway, there’s no right or wrong, we all have different taste

[@Eddiewinkicks]

@@donaldkey9074 no doubt! That’s a solid rotation, I hope to showcase more kicks to your liking in 2024, appreciate the feedback

[@donaldkey9074]

@@Eddiewinkicks I hope you don't, I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to reduce my collection 🤣

[@Eddiewinkicks]

@@donaldkey9074 out with the old… in with the new 😎

[@Adam_Hakim_FP]

Imo and all due respect, grown man sneakers are grey new balance, Nike Monarch, Reebok classics 1983 and anything Converse style but not Converse themselves, what you showed in this vid are shoes for teenagers to young adults in not so loud colour ways.

[@Eddiewinkicks]

That’s a your opinion, and those shoes release every month, this is more individual, has more character and of course… my personal style

[@khaldub]

I am a grown man and I think Eddie is more on point than what you're recommending.

[@Adam_Hakim_FP]

@@khaldub sure

[@nikchris69]

I had to return those Jordan 4 crafts, yes they look good but its the least comfortable shoe i ever tried

[@raymondcormier2309]

New hat

[@CT37BN]

Air Trainer 1's are always forgotten as usual.

[@CrensDan]

Me gusta tu estilo

[@ShuasiBjorlen]

Gazelles are technically made for handball, not soccer

[@meticulousotaku7]

3:52 football***

[@fififornow8031]

150 for gazelles?? U can get those for like 40 wth man

[@moaz6395]

Nothing says a grown man sneakers than Jordan 6's.

[@mervinquimba3944]

Still prefer Adidas Stan Smith

[@naturalmystic1262]

J1 high Palomino?? Those are the only "grown men" J1 out there

[@jasonmoser8957]

are ball caps grown man?

[@DadCore]

If by grown man, you mean teenage hypebeast, then sure.

[@BigGogetta]

Half the shoes has green in them

[@naturalmystic1262]

The GAZELLE is the only "grown men" shoe i see in the list. .... the rest are still "younger looking"

[@Eddiewinkicks]

What’s so youthful about a basic new balance 990 haha

[@TrekRidley]

Probably the better term to use is "trying too hard to be hip and young" " instead of grown men 😂

[@Eddiewinkicks]

Ya you know what.. you’re right… my next video I’ll let everyone know that after age 25 you can only wear doc martins

[@nice95gle]

This is not really a grown man's sneaker list. But cool regardless.

[@billcicardo8053]

Not a New Balance fan

[@decline1129]

Keep sleeping on the Nyjah 3

[@texarican_77]

AF1 is the most over hyped shoe I've ever seen. Looks like a pair of bricks on your feet.

[@LuphiwoKatsha]

Who much

[@robertfields8523]

I'm sorry but I see these shoes in nursing homes.😅

[@Eddiewinkicks]

Don’t be sorry, this is a more advanced way of thinking about footwear styles. There’s plenty of people that just look at this like a discount shoe store and see nothing else, sounds like that might be more your speed

[@austinlin148]

wtf are grown man sneakers😂 Shoes are shoes

[@Eddiewinkicks]

Sounds too simple minded for me

[@superboy305]

I gave a guy a compliment on the 860's dude gave me 100 tip
