The 10 best sneakers of 2020, ranked

It was a really weird year for sneakers. Part of the true fun of the sneakerhead culture is being outside and seeing the shoes that you’ve been coveting on the internet outside and in the wild.

Obviously, since everyone is living in the middle of a global pandemic, most of us didn’t really go outside.

But still, there was lots of heat that dropped this year. It came in all shapes and sizes, from any colorway of the Kobe 5 or the Nike Dunk all the way down to exclusive collaborations from creators with New Balance and Asics.

It was a wild year for the sneaker world, but it’s definitely one that we won’t forget anytime soon. Here are the 10 best kicks that came from it.
