Complex Con Releases 2018

Many thanks to technical technology, new shapes, as well as high fashion 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 top 10 decreases was no very easy task, and also ranking those tennis shoes was even harder-- particularly live, in front of an opinionated crowd. Including popular launches like the Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Max 180, Air Jordan collabs, and 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 value, and attempting to divide the art from the artist-- when it involves Kanye West's sneakers-- the panelists jumped about from full contract to healthy and balanced debate. Look into the video Complexcon 2018 over to listen to the full discussion and also to discover just how this year's best releases rated.
