Industry Insiders Reveal Their Sneaker of the Year

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.
