I’ve left a pros and cons list of each shoe in the description for more information/detail if you want it. Thanks for watching and have a good one 🙏🤟
Onitsuka tigers?
No Vans Old Skool? That's a shame. Love my chuck 70's & Club C's though!
I totally agree about AF1s and Club Cs creasing. I like the look of both shoes in the store, but after a few wears they don't look good at all (although the Reeboks do look a little better beat up than the Nikes). Jordan 2s are the same way. Lately, my favorite sneakers are the NB 2002Rs and the Adidas Handball Spezials.
I didn't expect you to put reebok so low and jordan this high 😃
I’m a loose canon
I really agree with the crease problem with the af1, they look great for the first 2-3 months and then its just goes downhill. I love vans though def a solid A tier would be an S if it weren't for them being a pain to clean😅😅. Also just ordered my first pair of chuck taylors should get them in 2-3 days. Really excited for them. 😁
Hope you like them as much as I do 🤟
Then wear crease protectors?
The dunks have the same problem after a few months my dunks look more beat up than my forums after over a year
@@enegizedadam crease protectors
@@Dominic7449 I know those exist but my point still stands
The reason why i love Harry’s content is because of love towards converse. I started to wear converse from early young age and I love it every single day. I really don’t like any of Nike jordan sneakers and I thought i was the only one 🤣🤣.
More i watch Harry’s content more I really enjoy. Also its really hard to understand British English but i am surprised how Harry speaks English. It is intentional cos he knows his audience are not only a native English speaker. Well done brother👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it bro and thanks for watching
Love your content harry, I watch you before i go to sleep. Sort of like a bedtime story haha
Ahh thanks a lot mate. Sleep well!
Just in time for lunch! I love how relaxing and chill your videos are 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks! What you having?
@@HarryHas A sweetcorn, chicken and egg soup! With a touch of soy sauce 👨🏾🍳
Gotta agree with most of this. I like the look of a lot of them but not sure if I'd wear them. Mainly wear my New Balance 991s these days but not sure if they're a classic!
I'd say they are a bit of a classic! Thanks for watching man
I hope sneakerheads won't rage in this comment section 😂 I'd say I'm somewhat of a "sneakerhead" (I hate this word) too, and I definitely don't agree with this list, but I respect your taste, since everyone is unique. This list would be great for introducing people to the world of sneakers, as these are pretty timeless models. And though I dislike Converses as I find them uncomfy, there are good reasons why they stayed in the game for over a century 🙏
Yeah I know a lot of people that don’t like Converse because it’s comfortable for them to wear and it hurts their feet. Makes sense.
Another great video, Harry. I think you should think about an earthy tone aj1, like mochas. I can see you fitting it into your style
Thanks a lot dude. I would probably get a less common colourway if I was to ever get a pair but they are cool
hi Harry i just want to say that i love your vids you make me feel confident about what i could wear whitout that you tell how to get a 'good jawline' or how you should be 'ripped' these days i hope you know what i mean thank you😁
I can never get enough of sneaker content from Harry 😅 so happy to see some of the sneakers that are my favorite on this list (some because Harry suggested and some that I personally loved)
Glad you like them. Thanks for watching
Oooo this is the kind of video I’ve been waiting for
Hope you like it bro
I agree too withe AF1 crease problem. I really love the triple white AF1, they are so versatile but after let’s say a year they have creases and the sole starts to yellow.. so mostly i must change them after 1-2 years. I really love them but sometime i hate them also 😅. I want in tue near future to buy some Off-White OOO triple white too but i think they will have the same peoblems as air force or maybe, i hope, they are more durable, idk.
Great one, have a nice day!
Could you also make a video about your current skin care routine coming up for this summer? Or did it not change since the last grooming routine upload?
So CeraVe facial cleanser, The ordinary and then SPF on top?
It still hasn’t changed but I’ve changed some lifestyle habits that have helped but the products are the same 👍
I love this video....agree with the rating. But which of these shoes do you think is the most COMFORTABLE. I am looking for comfort in classic sneakers. My money is on NB 574.
The "See you later" is getting more and more powerful by the video, and I'm here for it
Hahaha it will get even more aggressive too
Great video as always Harry! I’m wondering, where in your list would Vans Oldskool and NB 530 be placed?
C for the Oldskool and same tier as the NB for the other
And thanks mate
Damn !
Your taste in sneakers is so similar to mine !
I love it ❤
Hi Harry 👋
Great video! Always fun to get other people’s opinion so we know you better and can make more fashionable decisions from it!
You accidentally wrote New Balance 874 instead of 574 in the description!
Ahhh I was thinking of the Dickies pants
I love my Air Force ones low and mid tops, but I respect your opinion on this tier list and agree with the wear and tear on the shoe.
Thank you. 🙏
I bought the Chuck 70 due to your influence two years ago and this year I bought the leather Star Player 76 as a way to get the vans out of my closet. I love it and it's incredibly comfortable. Have you tried it, what do you think?
I wear authentics with shorts all summer. I can't think of another casual shoe that looks any good with nice shorts like linen without going formal with a boat shoe or something.
I feel about the same as you on Vans Authentics these days… I have a ton of them, but I pick a pair of Chuck Taylors almost every time I grab a pair of shoes. The problem with Vans for me is where the pant leg hem hits the top of the shoe. It always leaves a little sock showing and throws everything off for me. Then in summer the sock situation is still a little off with Authentics, because tall socks kinda bunch up and poof out at the top of the shoe, no-shows are still very-shows, and the weird tiny socks are just uncomfortable. Good thing I have so many pairs of Chucks.
Hi, what do you think about the brand "Massimo Dutty"? Ive got a couple of pieces from them and in my opinion they are really good.
I'm using converse chuck Taylor black high tops and off white low top 😍
Another great video Harry. I would mostly agree with this list but change some of them based on how iconic they are. Have a good day.
Thanks mate
I already need a part 2 for this video
I am not a sneaker head but your analysis makes a lot of sense to me.
I wish I could enjoy the Chuck Taylor's too, but they really are a no go if you have a wide foot.
What about the air max 90s 95s and 97s I still love all of these would u not consider them classics ?
Brother i feel the same way as what you said about Reebok. They can be such a great brand but they seem to be hardly bothered about what's happening around 😅
Respect for doing YOUR list. I feel like people should be more emboldened to follow their own tastes rather than simply following trends (and fwiw my list would look very similar to yours, except with the Gazelle in S and Samba in A)
As someone with wide feet the AF1 is automatically S-tier for me. I can wear them for hours and hours and not feel any discomfort. There are also great collabs with subtle details to add a little flair like the supreme ones. I totally get the creasing thing though. You kinda have to learn to live with it after a while.
Great list Harry, keep up the interesting content. I'd have a slightly different top 10 list. As an older sneakerhead, Some models where I'd be different in my top 10:
-Adidas Superstar over the Stan Smith (just my preference)
-New Balance 990 over the 574 (I think the 990 was first, and it's kind of the source of the modern NB popularity with the V1-V6)
-Vans Old Skool over Authentic (more iconic for me)
-Instead of the Puma Suedes I'd have Adidas Ultraboost on this list because they led a major shift in the modern market to super soft foam runners.
Thank you bro
Cool review And tier list sir
Great Video Harry! I total agree with you with the af1. I'm so tired of seeing them.
Thanks bro
I love the AF1, works for me , even with a more chique look 🙂 what do u think of filling peaces? Fantastic shoes, great quality and style. And something diffrent, instead of a white autry 😉
I like some models from Filling Pieces. A lot are a bit chunky for me but some are really cool
I really enjoyed how you say "I don't have a pair" a lot in the video. I definitely chuckled a lot, it takes a pair to admit when you don't have a pair. 🤣
Not much hate here haha
Very good video mate harry 👍💯
@harryhas totally fair ranking I would say. Agree with everything you said tbh. I got a pair of Club C two years ago. I do like them and wear them often but the creasing does annoy me slightly. I got the black sambas and I really like them. Going for the white ones next. I don't really care about the trend. They are a well made, good looking, low profile shoe and that's what I go for.
Great video, Harry 👏👏
Thank you mate
awesome vid, what does the goat editing about the vans mean? haha so confused
It was a terrible joke. I said I’d been wearing them since I was a kid. A kid is the name of a baby goat
Hi, Harry. Thanks for the video :)
Thanks for watching bro
Club C is a nice understated shoe with that creamy colour. Much more wearable than a Jordan 1 Air Max 1 or AF1, Jordans and Maxes in the wrong outfits can look like kids shoes
4:25 For those who want a more comfortable version, Adidas makes another shoe called the Campus 80s. Those have an arch support so for those who need them like myself 😁
I love Chuck Taylors. They’re probably the only shoes, in my opinion, that looks just as good new as well as when they are worn-down/aged. You can literally rock them until the soles come off. And they are dirt cheap compared to the other icons.
I like the look of the converse and dior b23 but I dont find it fit in my wardrope. I think it will go pretty well with tapered or slim fit pants while I prefer some wide fit and straight fit 😢
Can you recommend a pair of all white sneakers to wear instead of the airforce 1
Depends in your style or look youre going for. I like the Beckett Simonon Reid sneakers for a clean, menswear look.
Now i am confuse about getting Rebook club c 85 . I have been eyeing on them for long time.
My top tier list would be the vans old school dx(with the ultra cush insole), vans slipon ultracush, puma suede and maybe an air max 90 depending if the colors are not gross. I live in Japan and would say NB is the sneaker i see the most second to stan smith
What about gazelles, air max bw, reebok classics, puma speedcats? Or am I just showing my age here.
Nike blazer 77 mid or nike air force 1 mid what's your opinion?
I am with you, the Chuck 70s are my absolute favourite sneaker, I love the look they give. I also wear the Club Cs quite a lot, even after 2 years of having them, for me they are a solid A tier.
I also used to love Stan Smiths, but I barely wear them nowadays, I just got tired of it I guess.
What I don't understand are the Air Jordans, I never really liked them and they do not seem versatile at all, in my opinion.
Great video, Harry. I got a good laugh from you talking about the hate comments, like you said it’s your list.
😉🙏
I want white sneakers that fits every outfit and yet too classy & sporty. So, What’s the best white sneakers?
Addidas stan smith or any Samba OG white ? Because in india we don’t find any reebok club c vintage.
I’ve wore quite a few sneakers and I agree that the chuck 70 is the ultimate sneaker
nice list
would like to know your opinion on gazelles 😊
Gazelle indoor s
At least I'm not the only one who feels that way about AF1, my top 👟 is samba, chuck 70, army trainer and Cortez for life
Air force 1 are actually just an easy shoe. But me wearing wider clothes than you, the AF1 is kind of nice.
Puma still underrated. We need more Puma content 😊
My sneakers of choice are a pair of white Common Project lookalikes I bought from Vegetarian Shoes 5 years ago.
So crazy that every one have different style and different way of thinking for sneakers 👟 😂
My favorites is club c, 574 and vans. And I think worn-out white sneakers look so much better than fresh ones)
🤟
The only Nikes I have ever worn are the Omega Flame and Wimbledon, love Diadora Borg Elites and Seb Coes as for Adidas where do U start Gazelles, Zx600, Dublin, Stockholm and London, Bermuda, Jamaica and Trinidad, Tobaccos and Jeans
What are the pants you always wear in the shoe close up shots?
They were the NN07 Bill Trouser
I’ve been looking at some puma speedcats any thoughts?
They used to be very popular when I was a school so will always associate them with that.
Sambas fit so weirdly but agree they’re awesome
They are a weird fit. Sometimes a bit painful for me
Am I weird for thinking that air forces look better creased up? Anyways my top 10 fav sneakers... converse all stars, adidas superstars, fila Vulc-13, Reebok club c, puma Roma, converse attache hi, Nike Cortez, adidas forum, Reebok classic running, fila disrupters
Not at all. Everyone likes their own thing
@@HarryHas but yeah i agree, they are a little boring. i'm not crazy about nike in general, but they're my favorite model that they make besides the cortez (which i love). they look good with baggy jeans, 1999 fashion style
i'd go A tier with te AM1! And i've missed the old skool!
What do you think of ASICS gel Kayano 14 or the Salomon
Not for me but seem to be very popular
The Common Projects in Harry's closet just peering through the doors and watching him menacingly...
As soon as I saw the trainer list, I knew what would be in S tier. 🤣🤣
😂
I raise my counter argument for the placement of the Reebok Club C's:
They're INSANELY comfy, 80/90s computer case beige tinted, and they have funky minty green and red accents, how can ya go wrong with that?
"AF1 go with everything!" sure they did in the early 2000s, but in 2024 you gotta move on. No more AF1 and no more Panda Dunks. And the funny thing is they both do not go with anything, and very commonly ruin the whole fit because the AF1 is just so bulky and the Pandas have an extremely weird lacing area. Wear some all white Jordan 1 lows if you actually want to pull off the look. They're slimmer and honestly a better shoe overall. And lets be honest, the issue with most shoes is when one is all white, all black, or panda. Sambas, jordans, and even AF1 and Dunks are cool, but they're nothing special when in those colorways. Literally hundreds of dunks but you choose pandas to "fit in?" Shoes are clothing to make you stand out
“I hate you so much harry why did you put the af1 so low 😡😡😡” 😂 Nah but fr if creasing is your only problem with the shoes I’d recommend getting some crease protectors tho they do feel uncomfortable it helps keep it’s nice look. Personally I’d put them in B tier creased and around A tier non-creased because of the simple yet stylish look they give. It’s also white so it can go along with a lot of outfits
Have you checked out the Stan Smith Lux? The leather quality is way more superior than the basic Stan Smith.
I have
we're going to need a video of walking to make sure
😂
How about onitsuka tiger, puma suede and nike cortez?
I have larger feet and i prefer slimmer looks and slim shoes too. So i get it man. I also wish jordans looked good on me.
The only thing I disagree with is the model you chose to represent New Balance. That being said I have no issue with this list at all. Great list.
Puma suede is one of the most underrated shoe right now.
The end is hilarious
I size down in AF1
Its tight rhe first times but it gets resolved after the first wears
I hate where Reebok is going. They used to he great 😊
My brother following the reebok’s steps. Not bothered 🤣
What about dunks, blazers and nb550?
This video shouldn't ruffle feathers since it's about what YOU would wear. I already knew that the aj1's were going to be low on the list 😂 personally I love em though
Hahaha it shouldn’t but they always ruffle feathers
The only pair of shoes i like is converse chuck70 lowcut, i like also reebok im planning to buy one
My Reebok Club C did not make it to the S-tier. Now I need a new monitor and keyboard.
😂
I LOVE TIER LISTS
If he loves the sambas he loves the mambas negras
That list is diabolical 🤣🤣
No Common Projects, Axel Arigato or Golden Goose. Is there a higher quality review landing? Can’t deny Chucks at the top though, all day long.
I wouldn’t class them in the same category as these but I love a tier list so could always do them in the future
Common Projects Achilles A or S tier?
E
I used to love Converse 10 years ago but the lack of wide foot options in the Chuck 70 and the crazy tongue slippage just puts me off.
I don’t get tongue slippage luckily
I wish you had Reebok Nylon CL on the list
Did you tell about your list in person before making this video? I can see your left eye looks a bit odd 😂
You miss a lot of iconic shoes like old skool, superstar, j4, onitsuka, yeezy350,etc. btw nice videk
@HarryHas I like the ranking! I have both the Stan Smith's and the C85s and they do crease. What would you recommend for casual white shoes if not those?
I have some videos on white sneakers on the channel so feel free to check them out if you haven’t already
Before clicking the video I knew it by reading the title that Harry's gonna put chuck 70 in s tier no matter what😂
😂
