In no order 👇

• Lost and Found AJ1

• Hoka x Bodega Kaha GTX

• CDG Air Sunder Max

💧 Lost and Found AJ1

Lost and Founds are a no brainer because they took us all back to the foundation, the beginning. The birth of this whole sh*t, that lead to the success of this whole sh*t. Michael Jordan. Chicago Bulls. This is what it’s all about right here. I could have done without the distressed back heel tab but that didn’t stop me from copping a pair. I wanna be like Mike, sneaker of the year 🐐

💧 Hoka x Bodega Kaha GTX

Kinda biased bc Bodega sent us these...but truthfully Hoka has been the best brand of the past few years. This collab with Boston creative powerhouse Bodega is honestly my personal favorite shoe that came out this year. Idagf if you think these are ugly or look like hiking shoes. They are so damn comfortable I never want to take them off. And they’re mad stylish too, even if you haven’t realized it yet 🌊

💧 Nike x CDG Air Sunder Max

I imagine this won’t be a popular choice on my part, but despite flying pretty under the radar, these were probably the best designer sneaker to drop in 2022. The all black colorway was hard, but the black and white colorway…instant classic, certified banger. CDG made big waves with the foams last year, and while these aren’t as dope as those, they’re definitely more beautiful and I’m sure a lot more comfortable 🥱

That's my list. See you all next week, enjoy the last few days of 2022. Let me know if you like my top-3 👇
