Top 20 Sneaker Pickups of 2020

2020 is just about to wrap up and this has personally been the biggest year in sneakers for me ever. With so many fire releases, the resurgence of the Nike Dunk, the uprising of New Balance, and the continued domination of Jordan Brand and their collabs, this was a non-stop, eventful year for the sneaker community. Check out my latest video to see my top sneaker pickups from 20 to number one! Agree, or disagree, comment down below!

[@SeanGo]

Appreciate the LeBeautiful words written. Thank you. 🙏

[@cmoodie]

THE BEST SNEAKER REVIEWER ON KZbin. No yelling. No gimmicks. Just quality production & amazing shoes. I love that you cover such a wide variety of sneakers. Sincere thanks for grinding for us all year. 🙏🏻

[@SeanGo]

Colin Moodie thank you Colin!

[@mattlang8946]

Very solid top 20. Thanks for a great year Sean. A lot of these sneaker vids have been a good distraction from what has been happening in 2020. Appreciate your content. Keep it going on 2021!

[@SeanGo]

thx Matt!

[@zyzzuschrist3410]

Here’s to another year of providing us with more fire content man! Please never quit, your videos are on another level. Keep it up!

[@SeanGo]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sergioleone91]

The waiting is over 🙌 Top list Sean, thanks for the great job 👌🏼Surprised that the little dunk plum didn’t make the list 😉 This year was crazy ! Ok now you convinced me that I have to give a chance to the J4 Sail ! You deserve millions of subs...continue the great content and happy holidays ! Cheers from France.

[@Timothyleek123]

List I was looking forward to the most! Great vid!

[@soulbro25]

Sail off white 4s definitely the choice! Great video as always!

[@Parkwaydriver]

Your review on the Dunk Atlas convinced me on buying a pair, such an amazing sneaker! Btw, congrats for all the high quality videos throughout 2020, hope we can see a lot more in 2021! Happy new year and keep up the good work man, cheers from Brazil!

[@K9Manhunters]

2020 was crazy. Thanks for all your reviews! Looking forward to 2021!

[@espcollect4489]

Hi Sean and Happy bew year from Belgium ! Thx for this quali video year and hope you gonna rock the bells in 2021 ;)

[@SeanGo]

Happy new year!

[@guille4350]

I like your content man 👌🏼. Like that reigning champ, love this brand it’s so underrated and don’t see many people rocking it . supporting RC since 2010 along with sister brand W+H. Keep it up 🙏🏻. Blessings

[@Bound2alex]

Fire list!! Can’t wait to see this channel grow even more next year!! Happy holidays everyone!

[@richgarch2033]

Great, diverse list. Love how you spread the love across various brands and models, even though yeezys were blaringly absent! Wish dunks were easier to pick up, all fire!

[@imMATTure]

Yo Sean, as much as I give you ish on your videos at times, I love all the sneakers you review, especially this year. Like you said, as crappy this year its been for most of us, this has been an amazing year of sneakers for sure! Super solid list my g and as always, the best on-feet and photos hands down! Salute!

[@SeanGo]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@iAmTMCII]

Solid solid solid list bro!!! Happy holidays to you brother and can’t wait to see what 2021 have in store

[@SeanGo]

Thanks my dude!

[@nappstartv9626]

Amazing review bro and happy new year bro to you and your family

[@tnductai]

hope your channel grow bigger in the next year! you deserve it!

[@SeanGo]

Thanks!

[@CrispyyJack]

Always a good day when Sean drops a new vid 🥳

[@jeffmerx4571]

I always like your reviews, just simple, decent and informative. 👌🏼

[@jasminewhite5119]

I like how he doesn’t do the overly loud intro trying to be cool. And I love he doesn’t do the dumb hand movements that every other shoe tuber does. It’s always a clean format. Straight to the point. And a crystal clear on foot.

[@Sebastian_stromberg]

Such a interesting top 20 with some shoes that I never have seen before. And as always the camera work on fleek 📷 💯

[@SeanGo]

🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@ardhiantomuhammad4590]

Another one, beautiful video, great list as well Sean. I love every sneaker photo that you've done, gave us the wallpaper for our phone please. Ur watermark on it will be no problem. 😁

[@kinnierlastimosa2737]

Great list. I totally am with you on the top two and the survey results show how those will be long-time legends. I’d call them Grails for me, but I doubt I’ll ever pay those resell prices. But like art in museums, I just love that they exist and that I might be able to see them occasionally. Thanks for the great year of content and for the acknowledgments/responses. In a year with limited in-person interactions, you and a couple of other KZbinrs were like new friends that provided some comfort (and style) in 2020.

[@SeanGo]

Thanks man happy New Year to you!

[@FUFFS2K9]

great video Sean! I feel like the Habibi dunk flew under the radar a bit here. Probably dunk of the year for me! As you say 'ticks all the boxes' for what you want out of a shoe!

[@thinhinh4576]

Your top 5 was really expectable! Great list though agree to every rank

[@JohnSquared95]

A good list! 2020 was a good year, I started collecting again.

[@Mr2112mikey]

I feel like I’m being slapped in the face watching this video. With every sneaker you pull out. What a year!

[@MangKolokoy333]

one of the firsts! great list Sean !

[@SeanGo]

Thank you!!!

[@Leon-ub8pe]

Good list man I agree with almost every single one of your picks except for number 1 imo my fave has got to be the travis dunks 👊🔥

[@Daviesherr1981]

Great top 20. Nice mix.

[@jonsar713]

Probably the best sneaker reviewer on KZbin. Congratulations. I think your hottest take on this list is your number 2 spot and I completely agree. Good luck in 2021.

[@flex20144]

Was waiting 4 this one bruv

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

Personally I would've put Civilist and Lost at Sea dunks in the top 10. Love your videos Sean. May 2021 bring us more of your insightful reviews, and Happy New Year in advance!

[@SeanGo]

🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝

[@bellyp776]

Very good choices for top 20. I agree with all but 4 of them. Amazing how many pairs you're able to touch.

[@Timothyleek123]

Love the diversity on the list! I personally say the 992 is the second most important model of the year after the dunks of course. Glad to see a great diverse year in sneakers!

[@areksoo]

100K? You should be at 1 million! I agree with #1. That CW is just really nice. I don't necessarily disagree with the rest of the list, but there are too many Dunks on the list. Also not sure if the AF1 will explode in popularity, but I have definitely found a new appreciation for them in 2020. I think I bought around 6 pairs this year... and giving a long hard look at the AF1 low Gore-Tex that have a similar CW to the OW AJ4 Sail, but with a gum sole.

[@calebprice218]

Completely agree with your top 3. I wish I had copped the Strangeloves when prices were still semi low. Keep up the great work!

[@Aqwtiny]

Facts.. I fumbled them so hard when they were 300ish

[@rubberdawgzilla9441]

copped off snkrs and plan on keeping them ive worn them alot but theyre still clean

[@samlee458]

fire pickups!!! wish i even copped a fraction of your pickups 😂

[@JaredCompton00]

I’d love to see a non-collab list 🤙🏼

[@mugen264]

you should do a pants video and what you wear with types of silhouettes of shoes!

[@olaaaaah5255]

Great video, but the Union 4 off noir are THE sneaker of the year bro! So beautiful!

[@ncbballa31]

Great video! Thank you for your content

[@merwynmuljadi1441]

Hi Sean, great video mate. What’s your opinion on Converse Fear of God, they don’t make your top 20 best in 2020?

[@Steve-uk5uq]

Imo, my fav pickup and a shos that u reviewed as well were the Paris 1 lows. Super underrated and I was fortunate to pick em up before prices soared to 500 plus.

[@SeanGo]

Have they shot up like that?? Damn

[@dogecoin7963]

Just pick up my strangelove because your review, its so beautiful. Hey sean is it safe to use crep protect ? I dont want to ruin the materials

[@rolling_johnny]

Thank you! Great list

[@kurimao12prof]

Salute to the greatest reviewer in the game 🔥🔥. Couldn't agree more. Strange love is definitely the 'dunk of the year'

[@SeanGo]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@N0zix420]

Love the list Sean but TBH i do not get the love for the OW 4 its so basic to me. But i might be salty just cuz they dont make it in a size 14 mens lol. Have a great new years man!

[@SeanGo]

You too!

[@WattsMr3000]

You Have great content. the Jordan 4 made a solid push this year but the Chunky Dunky had people who didn’t know anything about sneakers culture talking with that much impact that is the reason why they should be number 1 . Have a Happy and safe New Year

[@EliteCaca]

great video love your picks, didnt have luck picking up great picks like yours. , i really wanted 15. air max 1 london but i am happy with the picks up i had air max 3 radiant red, lazer blue and right before the year ended undefeated pack air max 97 lol

[@robinmooe]

Solid list bro!

[@laith4842]

I agree with what you said about the Gel Lyte 3. So many great pairs like the Monozukuri Pack, Pearl, Wothwerspoon, and the Palette Pack

[@adedam7700]

Happy New Year 🎇 Sean...

[@SeanGo]

You too man

[@SkyeDaMan]

Awesome vid! What were the jeans/bottoms you were wearing with #15 AM1 Londons?

[@SeanGo]

Uniqlo!

[@mikekostelyk6266]

Such an honest list; no Dior in sight.

[@adamani08]

That air max 90 OG was the best drop of the year. Great classic shoe and Nike actually released enough pairs so everyone could get them.

[@stevenwells5069]

Nice list! I like what NB did this year. What do you think about the future of Reebok?

[@SneakerTalk]

Realllly great list and pickups bro, keep up the great work!

[@SeanGo]

Appreciate it man!! Let’s keep killing it in 2021!!!

[@rafamarrama355]

Nice list, Sean.

[@BertoBeats]

I copped the FnF FoG Raids this past week when the news dropped that Jerry was going to Adidas. Had to have them before prices go insane, and I'm so so so glad I got them. Immediately shot up to my favorite cop of the whole year. Immaculate shoe.

[@kaseyroque4281]

I said it once, I’ll say it again: Sean Go for president

[@viniciusbrandao3265]

Greetings from Brazil! Solid list!

[@gabrielgonzales8362]

Solid list! Btw what is the name of the pants you are wearing when talking about the Travis Scott dunks?

[@SeanGo]

Uniqlo corduroys

[@bikekin]

sacai vapor waffle and ISPA zoom road warrior are my favorites in 2020 regretfully they re not in your top 20 picks but still a solid list sean

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

I did totally sleep on those Air Max 1 London's, that opened my eyes as to how dope they are

[@Awwstinnnn]

What laces are those at 10:15 for the mochas and at 10:50, where did you get those corduroy pants? Great video as always!

[@SeanGo]

I dyed the white lace in black tea lol. Pants from Uniqlo!

[@Kobeisgoat99]

I thought the Jordan 3 SE Unite was one of the best releases of the year! Definitely underrated. Love your list even though I took L’s on almost every shoe.

[@Kobeisgoat99]

I thought the Jordan 3 SE Unite was one of the best releases of the year! Definitely underrated. Love your list even though I took L’s on almost every shoe. Lol

[@MatejNovakCreative]

I love your #1 pick. I think those are going to be a future classic for sure. Otherwise I'd rank your 11-20 > 2-10 (though the SWs are a hard pass for me). The sashiko 4s and Denham AM1s would have made my list of top sneakers, even though I wasn't able to cop, though most of my top pickups this year were of shoes that came out before 2020.

[@Theflyesttruckerukno]

Great work 👍🏼👍🏼

[@nh8781]

can you make regular release shoes list Sean?

[@mgerren88]

good list sean

[@Sneakdiss.23]

Man I forgot about the Sashiko Dunks! I may grab those. Very underrated pair.

[@Marco-yl8cm]

what happened to the Jordan 1 High Japan Navy? was it replaced by the SB Sashiko at #18 at the very last minute?

[@SeanGo]

yulun1989 I copied and pasted fail lol

[@Marco-yl8cm]

@@SeanGo haha. You still have one of the best 2020 lists. Wish you a happy new year!

[@emorej2348]

The only one I liked was the Air Max 1 London. The rest were hype releases that I skipped. You’ve spent a lot in 2020, hopefully 2021 brings you many free pairs. ✌🏾 and blessings

[@Spirit_Dinosaur]

I really like the list overall! I wouldn't have included the Chicago SBs, Fire Red 4s, Kith AF1, or any Air Maxes in my list though. But I agree about the order of the Union 4 and Off White 5 colorways. My dunk of the year would be the Chunky Dunkys but I didn't get any SBs all year ... or any dunks LOL

[@chad2687]

This video made me realise that you really like the colour red haha, nice picks tho!

[@SeanGo]

Hahaha

[@WinterPlatinum]

Very good list! Not much to add ... maybe Vaporwaffles should have been on there 😇 ... keep up the great work! 💪🏼

[@aaronshile]

I havent see the Jordan 1 midnight Navy in the video but its on your list at the end

[@SeanGo]

Copy and paste fail LOL. My mistake.

[@Slice998]

So much heat on that list! Also reminds me of how many L’s I took. 🥲

[@thanos2283]

Sneaker of the year for me is the Joe Fresh Goods NB 992 Don’t be mad. Solid list! 🔥

[@theozhao4463]

dude, your sneakers look so clean.So, whats your daily use?

[@michen3]

Great video! W2C the Reigning Champ hoodie?

[@SeanGo]

Got it from their site

[@michen3]

@@SeanGo thanks! how would you compare the sizing to a hoodie from Nike or adidas? Similar?

[@markanthony1634]

🔥🔥🔥 some of my personal pairs made it to top 10. J5 ow sail. J1 dark mocha.

[@benflis1618]

Only had a few pickups this year bc money is tight in college, but I’ll rank em 4. Pine Green 2.0s 3. Oregon 5s 2. Fire Red 4s 1. Court Purple 2.0s Edit: I added the pines and Oregons largely because my collection was lacking green, too. Interesting coincidence haha Edit: your list is very solid! I could be wrong, and if you didn’t get them lmk, but the one sleeper from this year (that I hope to get sometime next year) that I’m surprised is missing is the community garden dunks. Favorite dunks to release this year in front of the Travis Scotts, followed by the strange loves

[@SBX_channel]

why it show 18 is aj1 co jp navy on the list?

[@danieldanielson2324]

I love my Casablancas 327s and my ALD 550s. Travis’s dunks in my opinion one of the best dunks ever(didn’t touch). Sean cliver is also really nice(also didn’t touch). Overall the list was accurate and showed contrast. I work with sneakers everyday and I forgot about some of these came out this past year. I’m just looking forward to a white cement 4 retro and that will be enough for me.

[@rockoutkids]

The only sneaker youtuber I still watch.

[@LeezyLazy]

Damn. The Three Stripes sent so many kicks your way this and they ain't even in your top 20 D:

[@SeanGo]

Haha it is what it is! A few things came close but not enough to make the list.

[@marcop.525]

No one likes adidas ... even if they are generally better confort than nike

[@adamani08]

What adidas shoe could you insert that is better than any of these? I can't think of any.

[@LeezyLazy]

@@adamani08 I'd replace the Wotherspoon Asics with the Bape ZX's.

[@cmoodie]

As for the top 20 list itself, it’s hard to argue. I rarely dislike sneakers but not a fan of the Union 4s. They are too funky for my taste. Loved all the OG re releases this year, esp the Air Max 3/90s. The Off White/Jordan collabs were incredible also. Sooo many Dunks that were amazing. My sneaker of the year: Travis Scott dunks. Runner up: Community Garden dunks. I feel like those were slept on heavy.

[@ecysmm]

Could you do a sneaker collection video🥺

[@jerryli9196]

Typo for #18 in the end :p Great video tho!

[@SeanGo]

Haha copy and paste fail

[@Vxclear]

Mannn I want to see a collab and see you in a sneaker battle video. I want to see your prized pieces that you’ve kept over the years

[@daianspahava8279]

Personally I think vans killed the Collabs this year with the classic WTAPS and simpsons collab. But new balance has been killing it as of late, specially the 997S has such interesting colorways that are for everyone. But I have to go for the Jordan 1 CP Japan both the sliver and the navy, severely underrated and I think the shoes are a nice addition and a better one than the mocha’s cause the laces, the look is very unique and will look better with age

[@weijunng5831]

Can have a review on ASICS x hundreds % x SneakerLAH KLCC?

[@vicentemorales7572]

Subtle. Simple. Excellent.

[@UndeniableBlack]

Hey Sean, fairly new subscriber. Keep up the good work :)

[@SeanGo]

Thanks!

[@RandomTens]

I’m curious if there’s anything that you were excited about, but unable to get personally. Something that may have had a shot at the list but you’d need to examine and wear in person in the future? Great countdown as always and happy new year Sean!

[@SeanGo]

WTAPS 992 is probably the biggest one that got away

[@christophertarantino8783]

Greetings from Italy my friend❤️🇮🇹 A little bit sad you didn’t mention the AJ3 denim 🥲

[@davidlow1405]

How many sneakers you bought in 2020 David Malaysia

[@vinodvagadurgi414]

I would slide in the Jordan 3 animal pack es it 2020 or 2019
