ComplexCon wrapped up this past Sunday, and one of the most heated panels of the even was for the Sneaker of the Year. The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 was consensus choice by the panel hosted by Joe La Puma and featuring Victor Cruz, Wale, Aleali May, DJ Clark Kent, Russ Bengtson, and J Balvin. But we wanted to see what other people who worked in the sneaker world had to say. So we scoured the ComplexCon floor and did some field research (no, I did not have a clipboard) to find out what the people behind your favorite stores, blogs, and Instagram accounts had to say.
Here are their picks for Sneaker of the Year.
