3 min read

We’ve just entered the second half of 2023 which means it’s a perfect time to start discussing what our favorite sneakers of the year are (so far). There’s still ALOT of time left for upcoming releases to enter the conversation but it’s always a fun exercise to look back and see which ones have made the most noise already.

These are all PERSONAL choices, so if you disagree, @ us in Slack so we can tell you why your opinion is wrong.

Before we jump into the actual picks, let’s look back at a couple honorable mentions.

Honorable Mentions

Nike Air Force 1 x Tiffany & Co

Nike Air Max 1 ’86 Big Bubble

Marco: The Air Jordan 3 White Cement is one of the best quality retros EVER. Materials, shape, etc. And it was easy to get. Doesn’t get any better than that.

Kendell: MSCHF Big Red Boots

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
