Complexcon 2018 Food

Thanks to technical advancement, new shapes, and haute couture collaborations, 2018 was a massive year for sneakers. Damaging down the year's releases with a multitude of panelists like DJ Clark Kent, Trinidad James, Allen Iverson, host Joe La Puma regulated ComplexCon's 2018 Sneaker of the Year panel.

Featuring prominent launches like the Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Max 180, Air Jordan collabs, as well as the Yeezy 500, each panelist had plenty to claim about the tennis shoes and where they arrived on their individual top 10 checklists.

Discussing social importance, historical relevance, and trying to divide the art from the artist-- when it pertains to Kanye West's tennis shoes-- the panelists Complex sneaker shopping bounced about from complete agreement to healthy and balanced debate. Take a look at the video clip above to hear the complete conversation as well as to figure out how this year's finest launches ranked.
