The Best Sneakers of 2024 | Complex Con(versations)

What are the best sneakers of 2024? Which pairs will we remember the most that set the tone in sneakers over the last 12 months? Is the Adidas AE 1 really that good? What about Wu-Tang Dunks? Did Jae Tips make a top-10 sneaker of the year? The Complex Sneakers Show co-hosts got into these questions at the annual ComplexCon Sneaker of the Year panel last month with guests Lil Yachty and PJ Tucker. As is customary, we’re uploading the full conversation as a recap here. It starts with a tribute to DJ Clark Kent, who the panel will be named for going forward, features that infamous Yachty moment over the Concrete Boys Air Force 1s, and eventually settles on a pretty unanimous choice for sneaker of the year. Follow along with the picks, debate in the comments, and let us know how your choices differ.
