They look nice as hell, too, and were snatched up by sneakerheads in minutes when they dropped in April.

Most Anticipated

adidas Yeezy Boost 350

Could it really have been anything else? Having successfully transferred from affable polo-and-Tims Kanye to Kanye West, bona fide superstar and legitimate designer, with unshakable aplomb, the Chi-Town rapper cornered the trainer game in 2015.

While ‘Ye already dropped a few extremely red Red Octobers for Nike and a couple of luxe moonboots for adidas, the Yeezy 350 was Kanye’s first attempt at making something people could actual wear. If they could get their hands on them, that is. Hypebeasts, resellers and kids with their mum’s credit card burning a hole in their John Elliott’s queued around the corner, camping overnight for a chance to get close to buying a pair.

Yours for about £300 (minimum) on eBay.

Best Collaboration

Ronnie Fieg x Diadora RF7000 Primo

Founder of the already iconic store/brand Kith NYC, Ronnie Fieg has so many fingers in so many pies that it’s always nice to see him return to the items which really made his name. His sneaker collaborations have been hot properties for a few years now but we don’t think he’ll ever top these, a supremely luxurious version of the V7000 silhouette from resurgent Italian brand Diadora.

Chock full of detail and quality materials – including a pebbled nubuck upper, Tricolore accents, an asymmetrical crimson full-grain leather toe, and two-tone woven laces – it’s very possible that we’re in actual love with these. Shame they’re extremely sold out, eh?

Most Underrated

Reebok Classic NPC II

Probably Reebok’s pinnacle, the NPC II is composed of leather so soft it likely calls its mum crying every night, while its impeccable construction is an exercise in minimalism.

At a time when everyone else is doing MORE and LOUDER and BRIGHTER and NEWER, Reebok – surely the most beloved thing to come out of Bolton since Nat Lofthouse – went back to basics and reproduced Oi Polloi co-founder Nigel Lawson’s most beloved trainer.
