The 2025 Complex Sneaker of the Year list just dropped, and... we have some thoughts. The 12 Hub crew is back to break down what Complex got wrong, what they got right, and give you our real, definitive Sneaker of the Year picks.
Before the debate, H unboxes a massive haul that's been months in the waiting, including the $20 Yeezy merch (is it... Nazi-themed?), the Gortex Supreme pants, and the questionable Kobe Air Force 1s.
We also get into the real talk: Can you still listen to Kanye? What about R. Kelly? Where is the line between art and the artist, especially after the Tom Sachs controversy?
This one is all gas, no brakes. Drop your SOTY in the comments!
