Hey y’all! Hope you’re having an absolutely fantastic week so far. And if not, don’t fret — you’re already halfway through it and into the weekend.
Coming back with another KYW question related to my favorite trippy ass Air Maxes. So the conversation around the internet is starting to drum up already: Where would we ultimately rank Concepts’ Air Max collection in sneaker of the year conversations?
Obviously, for me, it’s very early and I refuse to rank sneakers at this point when we’re not even in April yet. BUT…it’s also not hard for me to see a world where nothing gets quite close to this drop.
So I want to know what we think, folks. Is it too early to talk about these Air Max 1’s — or anything else, for that matter — as a sneaker of the year candidate? Or are we rocking with them that heavily?
I feel like the only reason people would talk like that is because it's the only drop that's garnered a lot of attention (all well deserved attention) this year so far and I don't think there's anything that anyone's looking forward to later on in the year that's been teased yet to give it any kind of competition.
Only a couple things coming down the line I can think of are the Georgetown/Chicago AJ1s coming down the line and the JoeFreshGoods drop. Maybe Social Status Pennys? Idk.
YES. This is it. I'm still reserving my hypothetical crown here but I think this one will definitely end up in the conversation. I guess it's just too early for me to realistically talk about it lol
I think it’s alright to start the list and adjust as things drop. The Concepts AM1 is a dope shoe, but I’m not ready to crown it. There’s too much of the year left.
It seems like a strange sneaker year so far. I love these Max 1s, but I’m not sure enough has dropped this year to provide an adequate assessment on whether these are SOTY material. I guess time will tell. I do love these and I’m glad I’ve copped both pairs so far. Will try for the third as well.
I'm blaming Sykes for making me break my pledge to not buy anything new until I wear everything I have for these! I kept looking at them and now can't imagine NOT having them. haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I'm close. all three are incredible, think I'm leaning toward the Mellows.
This is facts — I can't debate that. The AMM 3 was just that good. I think you're probably right about these joints being that good, too. Especially considering how creative the drop was? These are going to be right there at the end.

i just don’t see anything in the horizon that feels as wild and as weird and as provoking at the concept am1’s, especially the mellow.
it’s a perfect mix of eclectic, yet wearable

I'm with you dude. For sure.

While I love my CNCPTS, I'm not ready to crown them as SoTY, but they are in the conversation.

PUT THE BLAME ON ME, BRETT. I will gladly take that for you lol.
won’t get sneaker of the year hype but the social status penny 2s are going to do numbers
They sure are! I cannot wait for those joints to finally get a date. I'm ready.
People like me were also saying AMM 3's would be sneaker of the year early. If it's quality, it's quality.

Mike. NOTHING beats this submission for the Sneaker of the Year. Not even the Concepts AM1s. https://www.dollskill.com/current-mood-sandwich-novelty-sneakers-multi.html
