Complexcon 2018 Murakami

Many thanks to technical technology, new shapes, as well as haute couture partnerships, 2018 was a big year for tennis shoes. Breaking down the year's launches with a slew of panelists like DJ Clark Kent, Trinidad James, Allen Iverson, host Joe La Puma regulated ComplexCon's 2018 Sneaker of the Year panel.

Taking this year's offerings as well as compiling a listing of the leading 10 decreases was no simple task, and rating those sneakers was even harder-- specifically live, in front of an opinionated group. Featuring prominent launches like the Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Max 180, Air Jordan collabs, and the Yeezy Complexcon 2018 500, each panelist had plenty to claim about the tennis shoes and also where they arrived at their individual top 10 listings.

Discussing cultural importance, historical relevance, and trying to divide the art from the artist-- when it pertains to Kanye West's tennis shoes-- the panelists bounced about from full contract to healthy and balanced debate. Take a look at the video above to listen to the full conversation and also to find out exactly how this year's ideal releases placed. Go here for a chance to win each of the 10 sneakers, thanks to Stadium Product.
