Top 20 Sneaker Pickups of 2024

[@tinbane77]

This is easily the most balanced top sneaker list on KZbin. Well done!

[@SeanGo]

@@tinbane77 Thanks a lot!

[@GeffreyMercier]

Great vid!

[@JoshDominic]

good list Sean. Some suprising selections for sure but thats whats cool about 2024 every list looks so different

[@SeanGo]

@@JoshDominic 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@POSSESSEDFANZINE]

You guys both have the TO 95s, thought that was cool, especially since you both said nobody else would have them on their list

[@RAFAOG92]

The only “top sneaker” list i looked forward to. Keep it up Sean!

The top 20 I enjoy most because your taste is refined and well thought out. Thank you for your passion and the effort you put into your content. Really hope to have more of your perspective in 2025. You play a big role in my sneaker journey.

[@luonghuynh4513]

That’s a collectors’ list right there…. Welcome back fella and hope you and fam had a lovely Xmas

[@1shotwonder7]

Kith had an AMAZINGGGG year

[@stuart1767]

Solid list and I'd forgotten about a few of these! For me the Kombu green 991 v2 and the 12.1 Knicks are right up there with the rerelease of the OG Spiridon. It goes to show if you miss out on a release there's always great shoes coming along in the next months!

[@meeeh3232]

Great list it‘s so hard to cut all those releases down to 20 pairs. My personal top 3 would be the hidden gel nyc - auralee 990v4 and the black cements. Good to have you back!

[@小松裕文]

Love this video! Always looking forward to your SOTY video every year from Japan!!

[@WayneLiu945]

Love the list! Thanks for putting the Kith Marvel pack in top 3 I think these were overlooked by quite a lot of people.

[@filipeagostinho1543]

Loved the list! Glad to have you back, Sean

[@datboi2dx]

Very solid and varied list! Asics and New Balance went hard this year!

[@sibserdinola6913]

this is my first time watching your videos. i been on a binge for sneaker content this holiday break, and i been watching different top 20 worn/favorite/best pickups and I I like the contrast on your collection. i noticed how keen you are to details and textures. lastly, you give out a great explainer for each pair. followed.

[@SeanGo]

@@sibserdinola6913 thank you!

[@Sully3916]

You da man Sean! Keep doing these every year!

[@nevillejames2200]

Great job on the list. I love the CDG foamposites, AMM air max 95 and Jordan 4 reimagined. But very good variety on the list. Congrats on the move. 🎉

[@MrFritzwho]

Great list as always! My favorites included the CLOT Superstar, Linen AF1, Bode Astrograbber, Above the Clouds 2160, Tan Jae Tips To-Do List, and the Green Goblin 2160 instead of the Spider-Man.

[@flimgenco]

The duality of Sean Go: on the same list, not far from one another, the Jjjjound 2160 and the Action Bronson 1906 😂 I’ll take solace in the fact that the 1906 was ranked higher 😂 Happy New Year, Sean! 🍻

[@KusiAppiah-x5x]

Definitely agree. For me new balance is the brand that has dropped the most fire pairs and by the same way they've jumped into my top brands

[@AFAM900]

Glad you are fully back, great list Sean! As a fellow Canadian who shares a shoe size with you I always check your reviews and fit recommendations. I am looking forward to seeing what 2025 brings!

[@SeanGo]

@@AFAM900 thx man!

[@wkffchameleons]

Killed it Sean! A little bit of everything in the mix!

[@SeanGo]

@@wkffchameleons thanks!!

[@jayc3484]

Welcome back Sean. My favourite pickups this year re the Bred 4 re-imagined and the New Balance 991V2 Vintage sport. Honorable mention to the Mocha 1 low since I don't always love wearing high tops

[@SeanGo]

@@jayc3484 all pairs I picked up too 😂

[@jayc3484]

@@SeanGo great minds think alike🤣

[@mbrawn7]

The list I've been waiting for! Great video as always Sean

[@SeanGo]

@@mbrawn7 thanks!

[@elniro]

Great list! I like how it's clear it's your favourite pickups rather than hype influenced like so many other lists out there. 2024 had so many amazing releases with new/retro silhouettes from so many different brands, so I can never agree with anyone that picks a Travis Scott jordan 1 low as their number 1 release of 2024 😅

[@SeanGo]

@@elniro 😭😭😭😭

[@johrei370]

Great list, all the best for 2025🎉

[@ClintAshlock]

Serious half: Sean, you’re such a light in the KZbin space. For real, the intentionality, honesty, personality, aesthetic vision, and intelligent commentary is just fantastic. Like a little moment of zen, and I appreciate you. Shitpost: bro hasn’t worn an adidas since ‘94. 😂

[@ClearSmoke100]

Great list, only shoes I'd remove is the action bronson vomit green 🤢 and #4 kith x NB collabs need to be unique, and that shoe looks like a plain GR.

Absolute the best and honest list on the internet. Only 1 hype beast shoe which is the travis scotts medium olives 👀. I feel like the Futura’s was going to be #1 on everybodys list and was truely surprised to see it here too. But, it did have a good story behind it being Futura always lingering around Nike and doing soft, non official releases. Great Job!

[@kevinkowu9396]

Happy to have you back Mr Sean. Really like the visty but I have a tendency to like them more when they are trimmed. First time to see the pellegrino v6 insert in a listing and appreciate that, because they are very very good. It was a pleasure to assist with this because of the quality of your content, it was a no brainer to get them to you. Ronnie fieg trough KITH is definetly a big big influence on the market, 2025 going to be wild. and sean where you able to land the jack harlow ?? what do you think of them ???

[@SeanGo]

much respect again for going above and beyond in assisting! I passed on the Jack harlow’s, wasn’t a fan of em at all 😂

[@CT37BN]

Wonderful lists of New Balance and Saucony sneakers. Lovely colourways all. Am more of a subtle more wearable type so the Adidas C.P. Italia SPZL, and the Adidas Gazelle SPZL in denim white, GR Nike SNDR in burgundy/blue are my picks and I don't know why but I just bought a number of waterproof and gore tex lined sneakers from different brands this year.. to wear when the rainy and cold season arrives next year here in Oz. Top 2025 on your channel☯

[@alexandercompres7425]

This year has been mostly asics and new balances for me too. A couple Jordans that I couldn’t miss out on mostly for nostalgic purposes.

[@muffinman8945]

The best review of 2024 🤩🤩

[@kirarewsaki]

Glad you back we ❤ u 😘

[@abreezyyt1705]

this year becomes the trend “comfy” sneakers i wonder whats gonna be trend in 2025. Happy new year everyone 🎉

[@benflis1618]

Hell yeah!!! Was wanting to see this!

[@scottydusntno]

solid list, I rate the earls gt2160 higher than the jjounds personally.

[@soosicABC]

Sean you should get the hidden NY gel venture 6 shield, i was so amazed by it with the comfort, presentation and versatile of the shoe even i own the hidden gel nyc too, it wins the matchup by mayb a fingertip!

[@VinG1213]

Solid top 20 list!

[@wliamlore]

Banger list as always ❤

[@SeanGo]

Appreciate it 👍

[@jorgevega9651]

Is the list available or just the video.

[@coopess1]

Any reason AE1 did not even get reviewed? I think it’s a lot of heat. Should give it a try

[@tedchao456]

Great list! Thought I would see Jordan 12 solefly on the list 😂

[@hyuni1219]

Great that you came back and had the time to squeeze in a top pick up vid. If you DID have the auralee's in hand, around what place would it be in? Love all your videos

[@SeanGo]

Oh man, probably… 7-12 range

[@blackgoblin1004]

I gave Asics a try this year. The Gel Keyano are ok. Not as comfortable as I thought and they don't look as good on feet. They just have a weird shape once you put them on. Resoect your list!

[@scottmeskan1931]

Welcome back....Serious question, 30 to 40 pairs a year x 300$ish a pair. are you really spening 10-15K a year in kicks? Are you reselling old /stale kicks? And how are you dealing with space? Im at like 60 pairs and am looking to amp things up. Thanks!

[@SeanGo]

I make income from KZbin / Sponsorships / brand deals so the cost of the shoes offset my earnings lol

[@jesstindevoe7086]

30-40 pairs in a year in honesty kinda ridiculous. I love sneakers but na. 10-15k on just sneakers is kinda dumb to me.

[@RAakaCHI-191]

It's sort of a business/hobby for these KZbin Sneakerheads sneaker reviewers. They get income from the YT channel from sponsors, views streams, free kicks every once in a while from sneaker designers, resell pairs, etc, and they get to wear different kicks 365+ days of the year. If they have to dig into their pockets, then it's crazy to sustain such hobby. Unless you're a Trust Fund baby or self made rich or wealthy person.

[@scottmeskan1931]

@@SeanGo I get that part I thought you needed to be in the mills to get enough coin to but 10+ pairs a month. Regardless...love the content. How you making space for all these.

[@attitudesneaker]

Air Max 95 Toronto 🔸 Air Max 1 Patta 🔸 NB 1906R Action Bronson Rosew Water & Médusa Zul 🔸 Air Max 1 Duck Oregon 🔸 Asics NY hidden 🔸 Nike Dunk SB Furura 🤙🏼

[@jonasdbtr]

Now im thinking what model would match moose or beaver theme perfectly 🤣

[@Mathi0930]

Great video Sean and thank you for pushing out great reviews! Hope your holidays are going well! btw - Which pickups did you get from the Kith Grinch, BMW, Sesame Street collabs?

[@merwynmuljadi1441]

No Spizike, the original colorway that was released this year 😀

[@Rodrigues013-w7e]

Futura my number 1 too. 🔥🔥🔥

[@cycleholicsanonymous]

Great list! Agree with the turbulence, but pelican grey's over the vintage sports?

[@Kasped-xm8yz]

Vintage sport isn’t that good.

[@Acrozion]

Futuras are amazing good list!

[@moff_gideon]

Asics x Doublet Gel-Kayano 20 was my favorite pick up

[@DaNewWaveLee]

Patta air maxes were really good quality. It made my top 15 and easily could’ve been top 10 if I didn’t enjoy a few other air maxes more.

[@samkrami21]

What about the Nigel Jordan 4rm, that was a whole new silhouette from nike. I think the black pair is easily a top 10 sneaker of the year

[@SeanGo]

@@samkrami21 Wasn’t crazy about the look

[@dkolykicks283]

I really thought the Air Tech Challenge 2 Andre Agassi would slip into this list.

[@jay_ohhlayy]

No Jordan 3 a ma maniere? 😮

[@Kasped-xm8yz]

Because they suck

[@glizza8087]

love u sean

[@ItsEvanWilson]

Thinking into 2025, are there any shoes you’re looking forward to ?

[@nlimetv]

This list is solid wish there was more variety like saucouny puma? Independent brands?new balance is clearly your favorite brand😅

[@SeanGo]

@@nlimetv I think NB and asics were close in terms of # of pickups this year lol

@@SeanGo yea if it's comfortability wise kith overrated that's just my opinion but would have loved to seen some jae tips here or independent brands

[@HBEE30]

Solid list but no Nigel 4 is bit shocking

[@SeanGo]

@@freshtodeath88 Don’t remind me 🕰️ 👴🏼

[@stefan2serb]

I respect your list. For me personally I cannot understand what people like about these plastic looking NB and Asics old dad kicks. The materials are all synthetic and shiny, the shape is so goofy and middle aged golf dad-esque. I predict they will age like milk in the next couple years.

[@SeanGo]

@@stefan2serb probably lol 😆

[@yesssirrrr1113]

I agree, l don’t see why people like aasics & New balance. To me they are so basic & wack 😂😂😂

Surprised the wizard of oz didn’t make it

[@jesstindevoe7086]

The fact you can make a video about 20 pick ups tho. Rich get richer type shit

[@RAakaCHI-191]

Dope list! But I would have the Nina 3s in the Top 10, also the AMM Black 3s. I have both and keep getting compliments everytime i wear them. I took them to Vegas and definitely were conversation starters.

[@kevinm4x]

ASICS FTW

[@dubzcity]

Not having the Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined in the top 3 is almost criminal. 🤣😂

[@kevinm4x]

too mainstream

[@kevinm4x]

why does everyone keep saying those disgusting and ridiculous dunk lows are the best sneaker of the year? makes me think most influencers got access to several pairs and are trying to hype up the price so they can scalp the sheep that go buy shoes for the hype

Great list ! Wu-Tang Dunks are def a top 5 for me personally

My favorite pickups of 2024 that made your list were few: the Travis Scott Jordan 1 Medium Olives and the Patta Air Max 1 Chlorophyll. One that isn’t on any lists I’ve seen are the Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 OG Sail/Royal Blue. Idk something about that volt midsole that makes me gush. Nonetheless, very dope list and yeah, I gotta get up on those Blue Jay AM ‘95’s. Welcome back and Happy New Year to you and the fam! 🎉✊🏿
