🏆 SOTY to date 🏆 . ⬇️⬇️⬇️ . . 1.🍂 Hal Studios x Asics 1130 🍂 - this was probably one of the most Lowkey releases of this year. @hal.studios did an incredible job with this collaboration. From the materials, comfort, & the choice of colorblocking of this sneaker. I truly feel this was the biggest sleeper of 2022. . 2. 🧸 New Balance 990v2 by Teddy Santis 🧸 -this was probably one of the most anticipated GR NB to drop this year. For me, this was the best cw out of the entire Teddy 16. I really feel like this set will be one that people will look back on in a few years and wish they grabbed a pair. . 3. 🍵 jjjjound x New Balance 990v3 🍵 - these were leaked back in '21 and were honestly the most anticipated collabs from NB. Once again, the materials were exactly what you would expect from a @jjjjound collab. . 4. 💐 ALD x New Balance 991 💐 - with ALD opening up their first store overseas, it made this pair feel really special to me. The colorblocking is beautiful and simple, while the materials felt very premium and much thicker than you normally see on a 991. . 5. 🚀 Tom Sachs x Nike General Purpose Shoe 🚀 - the GPS is probably my most worn sneaker this year because it feels like the perfect all condition type of sneaker for me. With Tom Sachs, his motto has always been to essentially wear your sneakers into the ground. Since the Mars Yard is essentially unobtainable at this point, this became the best consolation prize for me. Part 2 on the next post ♥️
