He’s doing amazing work I’m seeing my old man 2moro so they they will see the light of day! Always nice not to wear my work boots. Hope you are safe and well 🙏
Another quality video and great choices. Cannot blame you on No. 1; can't stop rocking mine since I've had them. Getting a bit dirty but what the heck 🤷♂️. Top ten next year bro 👍
I'm blessed to have 2 SB shops in my city - despite the hungry resellers. 1 - HUF NYC 2 - WSS 3 - Orange Lobster 4 - Green Apple 5 - Gnar Hunter Honourable mentions in no particular order: SLAG - great materials, gum sole KCDC - really nice shoe, great on foot, pink isn't too vibrant OL Kentucky Faust
That’s a great top 5 and honourable mention! I really liked the skate like a girl pair it’s nice to have a change up on the tongue, glad you was able to get some pairs despite them ravenous resellers . Thanks for the comment 😁
Your honorable mention is my fave SB pickup of 2022. You should grab yourself a pair of Bape SK8 Sta if you haven't already. As a Dunk fan, I feel that owning at least one pair of those SK8 Sta is essential, for the material quality alone. EDIT: I'm a fan of the Faust High as well. Great materials on that shoe. FYI, the Gnarhunters Low looks incredible with normal white oval laces. I liked the shoe so much that I bought 2 pairs.
@@WoodsyWears The SK8 Stas fit is similar to a Dunk/Air Jordan 1. The shoes don't come in half sizes, so they include a 2nd insole in the packaging. Obviously, if you order TTS & feel they are a bit roomy, you can toss that 2nd insole in there (it's got the green ABC camo on it). Highly recommended, dude. I have picked up 7 different colorways of the shoe. Imho, it's the most slept on silhouette of the past 2-3 years. I can't believe they didn't catch on during this past round of SB hype.
@@WoodsyWears They just released a grey pair w/ some turquoise (at least it looks turquoise to me anyways) hits about a week back. That will be my next pair. You will not be let down if you grab a pair. Just any random pair. Obviously some colorways are better looking than others, and that's an opinion based thing. ...but what isn't opinion based is that material quality...and it's going to be present regardless of which colorway you purchase. EDIT: I would recommend you look up a store called happyjagabee for Bape sneakers. It's legit...and the shoes are $40-$50 cheaper than the US/International Bape website.
They would have made my top ten for sure they are loud yes but the materials are amazing and the sock liner 👌 I can fully understand them being your number 1 🙌
My pair of Faust sb (regular box) from SNKRS had the dubre with both shoes. No hangtag. Heard there was some quality control issue and the factory weren’t sure initially what pairs where ment to have hangtag/dubres with them.
I've got everything on your list. Personally I think the neckface is super overrated. My only issue with Faust is there isn't enough silver or gold on the shoe. I've got 15 of the dunks that released this year. The most underrated and versatile for me would be the Paisley. Both of the Huf's are good and being from the Bay Area as much as I would like to be biased and say the SF pair is better.... It isn't. The tie dye is better on the NYC. And neither compare to the og high which I also own. Green apples and Bart's also up there. As a person that also struggles with mental health I have to agree with your selection of the why so sad. With an honorable mention going to the skate like girl, which is very underrated with good materials.
This is the problem there is sooo many good pairs to fit into a top 5 😂 I was really impressed with them skate like a girl pair as well but it definitely did slip my mind sadly. This is what I like about the fact we have had so many releases this year , at some point there hopefully would have been the perfect pairs that really spoke out to someone. I’m also glad you agree with the WSS John Rattray is doing great work. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this years releases 🙌 Hope you have a great weekend ✌️

What’s your top 5 from this year? 👀
Yes mate. The "Why So Sad" are my faves of the year too. Ratts is a legend,and I love what he's doing with WSS.
He’s doing amazing work I’m seeing my old man 2moro so they they will see the light of day!
Always nice not to wear my work boots.
Hope you are safe and well 🙏
Completely agree, number 1 definitely deserves the top spot
💙 👌
My first shoe I ever payed resale for was these wss. I love these. As they sit in the case I love the blue more and more
Another quality video and great choices. Cannot blame you on No. 1; can't stop rocking mine since I've had them. Getting a bit dirty but what the heck 🤷♂️. Top ten next year bro 👍
Thank you 🙏
Yeh I will have to do a top ten next year if it’s anything like this year with all the choices 😅
WSS totally deserve the top spot. Beautiful pair and the story behind them 👌

I really like the look of them, and have just looked didn’t realise they was at some shops for retail what’s the size long like ?🤔

I will definitely look into them again as I didn’t realise I could get them from end. They have a colour way that looks like the Voorhees 🤘

My number 1 this year is actually the Froskate Dunk High. Pretty loud, but I love em.
They would have made my top ten for sure they are loud yes but the materials are amazing and the sock liner 👌 I can fully understand them being your number 1 🙌
Great material quality on the Froskate High. You're right about them being loud, but they are a very solid pair.
So good I sadly feel they are madly underrated
Skate like a girls are So underrated ppl dont talk about them enough
They would have been on my top ten, it’s hard to narrow it down to 5 in fairness the passports should have been in my top 5 🫠
My pair of Faust sb (regular box) from SNKRS had the dubre with both shoes. No hangtag. Heard there was some quality control issue and the factory weren’t sure initially what pairs where ment to have hangtag/dubres with them.
That’s mental , it’s super dope you have the dubrae’s though!
Solid pair in my opinion

the shape of the huf sb is too boxy for me
That's a og Nike dunk cut, they made it that way intentionally. And actually had to get permission from Nike to do it

No Pass~Ports 😔
Sadly no but they maybe in another video I’m trying to out out before the end of the year 🤞 as they are a great pair
