Viewers Calling CAP on Sneaker of the Year every Release (YouTuber Fatigue?)

- čas přidán 24. 06. 2024
- #Sneakers on #CZcams consists of viewers and creators like any other niche, but it seems more viewers aka consumers are calling cap on sneaker or the year being thrown around so much in 2024. Following the #nike SB Dunk Low Futura and #Jordan 3 Nina Chanel Abney releases, many creators have tossed around SOTY, while viewers find it odd when both Jordan 4 drops were said to be the same.

Keep going with this content TJ! It’s so refreshing and it gets me thinking! Just gotta give props for continuing to speak your mind on all topics
Truly appreciate it Eddie! Thank you for the continuous support and providing equally refreshing content on what moves you in footwear, no matter the hype or noise. Your fits are endlessly inspiring, you've spoken candidly as well on a number of topics! And your comment section proves again and again they too appreciate it.
Lol shouldve tagged Seth Fowler. Every video "This is the most interesting sneaker of the year" "This is hands down sneaker of the year"
Dude is annoying 😂
Every Nike is also premium materials.
Chill on Seth 😅
@@KeepingItFishylol. Agreed. I like his reviews. If he feels every sneaker is amazing, then I'm happy for him. I don't feel like I need to agree.
But there are some CZcamsrs who are super annoying talking about 'you better buy them now'.
SOTY should wait until the end of the year. Calling sneaker of the year in the middle of June is ridiculous.
Some of these so-called sneakerheads say that ish about a shoe in March, it's ridiculous
To be fair, we know what’s coming out for the year by February
@DerekDynasty that's mainly for Jordan's, SOTY includes all brands
@@Scipscip10 shit they was calling bred 4s SOTY in the first month of the year lmao.
@SouthJerseyBaitReviews now looking forward that may not be a top 5 shoe
That Jordan 3 is FIRE in person. Won them for hubby and paid retail. It's a GREAT looking shoe with great materials. But mid-year is REALLY too soon for a SOTY. Sincerely, your "Auntie Pam"!
Auntie Pam said "calm down, way too early for all that"!
I agree...they are beautiful. I didn't get the W on them and I don't believe in paying a penny over retail so I couldn't add them to my lineup.
Congrats on that W!
Im only buying shoes or sneakers i plan to wear 💰💵
Exactly
Many of these “Creators & Viewers” are soooo lame. They are pushing their own enthusiasm onto the viewers.
The truth for me is. I’m not sure why I don’t care as much as I have over the last 10 years! Maybe it’s because I have soooo many pairs that I haven’t had a chance to wear as of yet. The importance of day to day is more important.
Love your take Sis!! Keep speaking the truth. At least it’s my truth.
I think their enthusiasm showing over a pair is quite alright, I think them telling someone they need something because of now they feel about a pair of where it could become a problem for viewers.
And don't feel bad that you can't quite identify what things feel different. I have some reasons on why I feel differently, and there is still some element of "I'm not sure but I just know 2024 is different".
Always intelligent content here, even when I disagree with the occasional take. Not everyone can get on camera l and come off as professional and polished as this, without countless edits and cuts.
Humbly appreciate the feedback. Thank you!
Yesssss!!!! I've literally been commenting on some ppls vids calling them out for this buffoonery ! STOP THE CAP! LOL😅
Hey, like I said, I think viewers are fatigued and speaking out lol
I'm calling it now. Based on CZcams shoefluencers it will be a 75 way tie for sneaker of the year 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 A lot of participation trophies
😂😂😂
I got a good laugh out of "the math is not mathing" because not long ago when I was completing my final math courses, I adopted your phrase "make it make sense" when I couldn't trace back the solutions of assignments.
Calling a pair sneaker of the year too early could just be search engine optimization, same like calling a pair a must-have. Just another tactic for clicks and to get your attention. Or we may have ran out of words to describe sneakers. Another argument for slow consumption in a fast-paced culture!
I love it lol make it make sense is something I wish phrased long ago when I was in undergrad for Calc 2 because working backwards was always a struggle.
I think it does speak to us running out of words, because everything isn't a must have nor iconic. I think slowing down consumption helps reel in our thoughts, perspective and true feelings behind anything purchased in this buy-buy-buy culture.
In addition to calling cap on SOTY and brand pandering, youtubers still being surprised that pairs are sitting at this point is telling of the current climate. On the other hand as a newer sneaker head I am enjoying the current buyers market aspect and wide availability of kicks that would usually be difficult to obtain.
Shoes need to "sit", it's better for retailers. Acting surprised that pairs are "sitting" especially in 2024 is tiring, they seem to have gotten stuck in 2020 which is when all of them started

Completely agree on the SOTY analysis, it’s gotten watered down and we don’t know what will have staying power until the end of the year. However, I disagree that canvas cheapens or diminishes the value of the Futura dunks or Nina Chanel 3s. I love both artists but it would cost (hundreds of) thousands to purchase any of their work. So being able to wear their art on foot for a couple hundred is a deal. I also respect both for providing those that love art but may not have the income to acquire it a way to get the art. The use of canvas for both of the shoes seems intentional given canvas is the medium for so many painters and artists.
The canvas selection isn't a knock on the artist, as stated it makes sense as artists they chose canvas. From a lasting perspective and cost for those purchasing the sneakers in the grand scope of sneakers in general, it may not hold the same value in materials as a $225 collab on another Jordan 3.
Although I like the Chanel Abney 3s I don’t see them as SOTY. The biggest draw to the shoe is that canvas will hold any and every single scratch they get. The shoes are going to look like they are in desperate need of lotion.
😂😂😂😂
That's the great thing about sneakers...so many variations and options. As always, but what tou like, not just because its hyped 👍🏾. I love watching WearTesters
For me, because they preview sneakers more than a year in advance, we know what to expect for the following year. This is a low buy year for me and my SOTY is the Reimagined Bred 4s.
I think many of us are in a low buy year and it's great for whatever other goals we have in life for 2024.
I can see SOTY so far. But SOTY should be determined at the end of the year. But overhyping every pair is not a good look for any CZcamsr that does sneaker reviews.
I've seen SO FAR done a lot, and that makes more sense. Although even then that switches every month.
Calling every sneaker released SOTY (especially in the early half of the year) for shock value definitely seem like an over worked sales pitch lol totally agree on that. SOTY shouldn’t be considered until at least half the year in my opinion. I got the futura Dunks and think they’re really dope. I also think the Nina 3s are super dope struck out on those but definitely wanted them since they were announced last year.
Yeah, I think as we get closer to end of 2024, it becomes clearer what those top contenders are for people but we were hearing it in Feb of all things.
Definitely over hyped so I chose neither sneaker comfort is very important to my foot as well as coolest temperature wise 😅👍
Comfort is king
I’m right there with you. Copped 5 pairs so far this year. And I’m planning to sell or get rid of some of my used shoes. Trying to create more space to grab future shoes that I know I will wear a lot. I’m glad I’m thinking differently this year than last year.
It's a great feeling when your mind shifts for the better for what you really want.
Tbh i wanted the Futura SB really bad it was one of the few i wanted but after taking a L and really seeing the shoe for what it is. It's nothing super crazy the art is dope for sure but the materials and totality of the collab is minimal. Tbh i would say the Di'orr Greenwood SB High that came out recently is the best SB so far, we've gotten from the materials to the tons of details on the shoe like 3M behind all the stars on the toe box and swoosh, the 3M Stitching for the constellation. The Great materials and just representing something pretty cool overall culture wise.
I liked the artwork as well on the SB, it's what drew me to them but that was an instant L for me.
Im kinda burnt out on sneakers atm. Everything is expensive nowadays so for me to drop bread on shoes i gotta REALLY dig em. Nothing this year so far has done it for me. Everything is just dry rn, we need some new silhouettes from someone to spice things up a la yeezys/ultraboosts in 2016 or the original off white releases back in the day. These color block swapped jordans aint doing it for me anymore
WORD!
I don't think you're alone in feeling burnt out. Even as a consumer and creator, I look around and ask myself "you all don't get tired of so many pairs week after week?" I didn't always think this way but when that switch flipped, it made it look at a lot differently. I think Saucony with JaeTips is doing some exciting things, off the beaten path.
My favorite Sneaker channels.
TJ, Eddiewin, Weartesters, Mike Rich, He’s Kicks
Thank you for that, great company to be in, all highly respected for many years!
Hello again gorgeous hair as always I appreciate the video you have several good points. I purchase the Nike SB dunk low Futura , OMG, in hand it is amazing comfortable too, extremely beautiful. And yes, I’m calling it sneaker of the year for me but as always teach their own thank you for the video.
Glad you secured them and it's a great pair for you. And good to hear it's more comfortable.
I’ve heard SOTY at least once a month since February and that’s crazy.
WAY more than just once a month lol
This year is the first year that there isn't a shoe I'd call the SOTY this far. Every is so basic. I'm probably stick to OG retro 's and I'll be ok.❤
👊🏽👊🏽
Facts TJ! I've never had an issue with limiting my spending, but I'm tired of the SOTY tag being thrown around on everything. Everyone calm down please damn 😂 Question for you: What's your thoughts on the AE1s being called SOTY when I don't even see people wearing it outside except on the court??
I wish everyone would calm down, everywhere. I think it has merit if some have it as a contender. It's new, it had a lot of actual excitement tied to something people experienced in the NBA playoffs and Ant's great season. I see people rocking them out up and down my TLs. I think a shoe being worn in its explicit purpose has to be respected also, it's a performance shoe so people are performing in them, rarely anyone performs in Jordan 3s or 4s on the court anymore.
Thank God someone said it. Both trash shoes, and whats even worse is videos of them asking others if the shoes are fire and them agreeing based on pure pressure to fit in, ugly shoes and wouldnt even wear them even if they were free
Trash or heat is subjective. I think wanting someone to feel one way or another because you do, no matter who you may be, isn't the move. It's why I will say how do you feel about a shoe? And not we, because we don't need to see the shoe the same.
I’m tired of these CZcamsrs telling me ima have nightmares in the future if I don’t get the oxidized green 4s right now😂😂😂
Lol I don't think you'll have any nightmares
I. Sure you won't have nightmares. But that shoe is top tier!
Dope video 📹 TJ they can keep both of them 😮
🙏🏽
Missed out on the 3s. Would have loved to add to my collection. Keep grinding TJ.
🙏🏽👊🏽💪🏽
Definitely slowed down on my sneaker purchases. 3 Pairs so far this year. The hype is crazy, definitely not slow..
The SLOW DOWN is real!
OMMGG! This New Air Jordan 4 “dog shit reimagined” is SOTY 🔥 🔥
😂😂😂😂
Finally someone speaking what we’ve all been thinking
🙏🏽💪🏽
Very refreshing content
Appreciate it!
Only big issue is those futuras and the mesh toe box. Them things crease in 1 step
I've seen them heavily crease but we know skaters never really mind that. Some materials are very hit or miss in that toe box area, like velvet too.
Ima be honest man I’m at the point of fatigue where I’m starting to think some creators not all… are getting paid by Nike and certain shoe brands to talk highly of early pairs to help build up hype for a shoe.
I can't ever say for certain what is or is not happening, I personally don't believe that's occurring as people will heavily promote Nike and have for years on their own. Nike barely needs commercials because people act as their commercials on all platforms. I think we are still in a weird space where everything is hyped to high heavens when most things are even-keeled, like in life, we live in the middle, with some highs and lows.
💯 agree 👍🏾. The price is based on the word calibration (Calib)
👊🏽👊🏽
Been collecting sneakers for about 15 years now and never chased the hype unless it is genuinely a good quality shoe that I like. Both of those sneakers are trash imo and the so called “exclusivity”(or the low production numbers which creates that hype) doesn’t justify even the retail price for these particular sneakers imo.
Respect, what's trash to some will be great to another
@@TalksWithTJ 100%, everyone got their own taste. I’m just saying how I feel about em. I try to look at a sneaker objectively when assessing if I want to buy it or not - do I like the silhouette, colorway, materials, is it practical in terms of wearability, and would I still buy it if it wasn’t a collab?
I hear more of people calling the crocs or the nike futuristic sneakers soty
I think of SOTY as a shoe that dropped in the year and crocs have been around so wouldn't be an option I don't think for many unless they have a specific release in mind. The RTFKT kicks I am guessing what you are referencing.
I unsubbed multiple folks after that bred situation. Why are you making 15 videos for 1 shoe? why is the shoe only good if you can make money? it gets annoying after a while.
Well I think I mentioned in a past video it makes sense views wise because if they are full time, they want to generate views and ads to earn income. That's just how the game works. But you have to be careful you don't aggravate viewers.
I think I have enough shoes to last me into crocs age now 😂
I know I could go many years without a new shoe and be just fine lol
So far for me the oxidized green 4 would be sneaker of the year for me.
I got the breds, I got the chicago sb's.. but these are definitely the best quality of all shoes I bought this year. And extremely wearable due to mostly being white.
I have also returned a pair, it was a pair of sb dunks but they had very ugly wrinkled leather and I was like, I don't want to wear a shoe that looks like this.
Never keep anything you don't like. And the 4s looked to have decent material.
It's gotten to the point where these cats out here talking about sneaker of the month now 😂😂
I see no lies told, that's real, feels that way
Love your content Miss. it’s pure
Thank you!
Who'd ever think canvas shoes get so much love,hype and resell. If Union had dropped the canvas jordan 1 low this year would they have gotten the same love as these 2 canvas shoes?
Good question, that pair was loved by some, not by the masses but I think that's bc people have Jordan 1 High and Jordan 4 Union expectations
I feel that way for the 3s definitely however those futura labs dunks, straight fire in my eyes. I do agree that we should be holding influencers accountable I feel like because their audiences are so big that they can be part of creating false hype sometimes. Ill liken it to the crypto community. A lot of times influences will promote a crypto that they have a lot of and a huge financial stake in so that their followers will do the same in turn raising the value. I think sometimes these influences might be sitting on quite a bit of stock and say hmmmm if I wanna get rid of these I might as well try to up the value artificially with my opinions so that its easier to make some profit on
I can see that perspective. Not all creators are resellers however (although many of us will sell older pairs we don't wear anymore like anyone else), I think we have to remember with influence comes some accountability. Crypto is a world where people definitely have stake in coins, and then we know that rug pulls happen once the hype is built and someone cashes out.
Those 3s are my personal shoes of the year so far😂.. The 4 military blues are overhyped.. i like the green ones better that recently released.
👊🏽👊🏽
This year I did pretty good, most of the kicks I picked up was either on sale or well under retail, I copped 8 so far this year
🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
One more thing, young lady I’m about 15 minutes to 20 minutes from the University of Oregon Tracktown, USA, where they’re holding the Olympics qualifiers and snoop made an appearance on Saturday here in Eugene, Oregon Just wanted to mention that thought you would like it take care
I saw that lol! He's on many side quests these days but the people love it. I'm excited for the Olympics!
Sneaker of the year should be something that people are actually wearing, so it should be accesible. Not a very limited release were the shoes end up staying unused for shoe collectors. But that's my opinion.
I think a shoe being accessible should play a part. I think it's why many everyday people did not have the Dior 1 as SOTY because it wasn't accessible to most consumers or even the traditional retro consumer.
14. 14 pairs of shoes and boots this year so far. I think I have a problem.
Yeah....
@@TalksWithTJ Mostly thrifted and eBay! Mostly.
I'm sorry AE1 is the sneaker of the year. We have 6 months & u can call it. We know what else is coming out this year. I'll die on that adidas hill. Yeezy & No other sneaker has been selling out by each colorway from major retailers this year, like the AE1.
They are a good shoe. They also deserve credit for being a new model unlike all of the other contenders people are mentioning.
@@jordanhall8739 ok ok , yep 👍🏾
Ok ok i got u , yep @@jordanhall8739
I try to wait until EOY to call it as all brands don't shoe their entire hand like Jordan does. But it has created a refreshing buzz.
@@jordanhall8739 exactly
Most probably overhyped like the Futura (at least for me) to me it should be a new thing, something really different that has the community talking for example the AE1. A shoe model with a collab trying to really to think outside the box limits like Salehe’s, Nina’s or Action Bronson’s, not a Travis Scott or JJJJound.
TS will always get a nod because the hype is endless, I think we have to accept that. I have my obscure top pairs at the end of each year because I think new designs should be celebrated and performance pairs too.
The nine Chanel abney aj3 are 🔥 but not SOTY. I suspect It will end up being a widely available general release either the bred 4s reimagined, black toe high aj1 reimagined or the black cement aj3. Rarely does being a collab cut it to top spot if not widely available. It might be among top 10 but won won’t . Canvas colourway lack of versa ain’t it.
There are MANY times a collab has topped that spot like the Dior 1, LV AF1, Off-White releases and AMM Jordan 3.
Damn, spitting straight facts!
🙏🏽
EVERY SINGLE SNEAKER!!!
Feels that way
I was interested in the Futura’s but purely as a piece of art not to wear. Been a fan of his for decades now. But I decided to pass.
👊🏽👊🏽
Calling every shoe SOTY is getting old, just like labeling every album a classic an hour after it drops.
I also think consumers are moving away from the toxic, monolithic sneaker culture that emerged during the pandemic. The jig is up, lol!
I think you're correct on all things said.
I think I'm at 7 or 8 😅
But only buying what I really like or know that will be worn a lot (those poor new 990v3's that are ready to replace the old ones)
Green is my favorite color but I cannot get into those green 3's.
Yes you got ALL of your wear out of that older pair.
@@TalksWithTJ haha, there isnt much left.. they will pretty much fall apart anytime soon
When the sockliner does tear, they will go. I'm not going to be uncomfortable with broken shoes. And the spots where it will tear are already visible
I think viewers have fatigue in general from sneaker youtubers. It's been the same thing since about 2016 and a lot of us are 30 or older now that were the core fan base of a lot of creators. We don't care if something is sneaker of the year. We just like dressing well.
I think the age demographic is very relevant in this conversation Jason. In our 30s more people are settling down, planning for a house, kids, paying off debt, traveling and just other personal goals that don't involve chasing whatever the SOTY could be, simply what works in our style. I think that's one reason Eddie Win is so appreciated because he focuses on how to complement whatever pair you have past your 20s.
First I pick soty those were not it! Neither are those Jordan 4, I'm still waiting for the sale. The 3 has way to much canvas and I said that from day one, although swizz beats and alicia keys did the commercial at my little brothers school #hooverhigh easy pass! #dago
Oh that's dope it was at his school!
Stopped watching at least 3 youtubers thia year for exactly this reason.
It's a delicate balance because if a creator ever starts to feel out of touch for a viewer, there's a chance they disconnect from you.
@@TalksWithTJ all I ever want is to hear the creators give their honest unbiased opinion. It's just becoming something you have to look a little deeper into the algorithm these days 🤷♂️
They need viewers and likes you know that.
You can get that by reviewing a shoe and stating it's good, even great without the SOTY title thrown out all of the time.
@@TalksWithTJ they do the same thing with bowling balls. Can’t even throw it on a sport shot.
Sneaker of the year so far … New Balance 990V4 Artic Grey
I'm sure we'll see MANY answers by end of December
Doing more wearing than buying these days🤓
Love to hear it!!
Both were over hyped
👊🏽👊🏽
U are beautiful
