The top 20 I enjoy most because your taste is refined and well thought out. Thank you for your passion and the effort you put into your content. Really hope to have more of your perspective in 2025. You play a big role in my sneaker journey.
this is my first time watching your videos. i been on a binge for sneaker content this holiday break, and i been watching different top 20 worn/favorite/best pickups and I I like the contrast on your collection. i noticed how keen you are to details and textures. lastly, you give out a great explainer for each pair. followed.
Glad you are fully back, great list Sean! As a fellow Canadian who shares a shoe size with you I always check your reviews and fit recommendations. I am looking forward to seeing what 2025 brings!
Solid list and I'd forgotten about a few of these! For me the Kombu green 991 v2 and the 12.1 Knicks are right up there with the rerelease of the OG Spiridon. It goes to show if you miss out on a release there's always great shoes coming along in the next months!
Great list it‘s so hard to cut all those releases down to 20 pairs. My personal top 3 would be the hidden gel nyc - auralee 990v4 and the black cements. Good to have you back!
Great list! I like how it's clear it's your favourite pickups rather than hype influenced like so many other lists out there. 2024 had so many amazing releases with new/retro silhouettes from so many different brands, so I can never agree with anyone that picks a Travis Scott jordan 1 low as their number 1 release of 2024 😅
Welcome back Sean. My favourite pickups this year re the Bred 4 re-imagined and the New Balance 991V2 Vintage sport. Honorable mention to the Mocha 1 low since I don't always love wearing high tops
Great list as always! My favorites included the CLOT Superstar, Linen AF1, Bode Astrograbber, Above the Clouds 2160, Tan Jae Tips To-Do List, and the Green Goblin 2160 instead of the Spider-Man.
Serious half: Sean, you’re such a light in the UA-cam space. For real, the intentionality, honesty, personality, aesthetic vision, and intelligent commentary is just fantastic. Like a little moment of zen, and I appreciate you. Shitpost: bro hasn’t worn an adidas since ‘94. 😂
Happy to have you back Mr Sean. Really like the visty but I have a tendency to like them more when they are trimmed. First time to see the pellegrino v6 insert in a listing and appreciate that, because they are very very good. It was a pleasure to assist with this because of the quality of your content, it was a no brainer to get them to you. Ronnie fieg trough KITH is definetly a big big influence on the market, 2025 going to be wild. and sean where you able to land the jack harlow ?? what do you think of them ???
The duality of Sean Go: on the same list, not far from one another, the Jjjjound 2160 and the Action Bronson 1906 😂 I’ll take solace in the fact that the 1906 was ranked higher 😂 Happy New Year, Sean! 🍻
Absolute the best and honest list on the internet. Only 1 hype beast shoe which is the travis scotts medium olives 👀. I feel like the Futura’s was going to be #1 on everybodys list and was truely surprised to see it here too. But, it did have a good story behind it being Futura always lingering around Nike and doing soft, non official releases. Great Job!
Wonderful lists of New Balance and Saucony sneakers. Lovely colourways all. Am more of a subtle more wearable type so the Adidas C.P. Italia SPZL, and the Adidas Gazelle SPZL in denim white, GR Nike SNDR in burgundy/blue are my picks and I don't know why but I just bought a number of waterproof and gore tex lined sneakers from different brands this year.. to wear when the rainy and cold season arrives next year here in Oz. Top 2025 on your channel☯
Great that you came back and had the time to squeeze in a top pick up vid. If you DID have the auralee's in hand, around what place would it be in? Love all your videos
Sean you should get the hidden NY gel venture 6 shield, i was so amazed by it with the comfort, presentation and versatile of the shoe even i own the hidden gel nyc too, it wins the matchup by mayb a fingertip!
Great video Sean and thank you for pushing out great reviews! Hope your holidays are going well! btw - Which pickups did you get from the Kith Grinch, BMW, Sesame Street collabs?
Welcome back....Serious question, 30 to 40 pairs a year x 300$ish a pair. are you really spening 10-15K a year in kicks? Are you reselling old /stale kicks? And how are you dealing with space? Im at like 60 pairs and am looking to amp things up. Thanks!
It's sort of a business/hobby for these UA-cam Sneakerheads sneaker reviewers. They get income from the YT channel from sponsors, views streams, free kicks every once in a while from sneaker designers, resell pairs, etc, and they get to wear different kicks 365+ days of the year. If they have to dig into their pockets, then it's crazy to sustain such hobby. Unless you're a Trust Fund baby or self made rich or wealthy person.
@@SeanGo I get that part I thought you needed to be in the mills to get enough coin to but 10+ pairs a month. Regardless...love the content. How you making space for all these.
I gave Asics a try this year. The Gel Keyano are ok. Not as comfortable as I thought and they don't look as good on feet. They just have a weird shape once you put them on. Resoect your list!
Air Max 95 Toronto 🔸 Air Max 1 Patta 🔸 NB 1906R Action Bronson Rosew Water & Médusa Zul 🔸 Air Max 1 Duck Oregon 🔸 Asics NY hidden 🔸 Nike Dunk SB Furura 🤙🏼
why does everyone keep saying those disgusting and ridiculous dunk lows are the best sneaker of the year? makes me think most influencers got access to several pairs and are trying to hype up the price so they can scalp the sheep that go buy shoes for the hype
Dope list! But I would have the Nina 3s in the Top 10, also the AMM Black 3s. I have both and keep getting compliments everytime i wear them. I took them to Vegas and definitely were conversation starters.
My favorite pickups of 2024 that made your list were few: the Travis Scott Jordan 1 Medium Olives and the Patta Air Max 1 Chlorophyll. One that isn’t on any lists I’ve seen are the Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 OG Sail/Royal Blue. Idk something about that volt midsole that makes me gush. Nonetheless, very dope list and yeah, I gotta get up on those Blue Jay AM ‘95’s. Welcome back and Happy New Year to you and the fam! 🎉✊🏿
I respect your list. For me personally I cannot understand what people like about these plastic looking NB and Asics old dad kicks. The materials are all synthetic and shiny, the shape is so goofy and middle aged golf dad-esque. I predict they will age like milk in the next couple years.
This is easily the most balanced top sneaker list on UA-cam. Well done!
@@tinbane77 Thanks a lot!
Great vid!
good list Sean. Some suprising selections for sure but thats whats cool about 2024 every list looks so different

If you DID have the auralee's in hand, around what place would it be in? Love all your videos
Oh man, probably… 7-12 range
My top pickup of the year was the Verdy Visty SBs. Love my set of Grateful Dead Dancing Bears so these were a must for me because of the colors.
Sean you should get the hidden NY gel venture 6 shield, i was so amazed by it with the comfort, presentation and versatile of the shoe even i own the hidden gel nyc too, it wins the matchup by mayb a fingertip!
Happy to finally see the aj3 nina chanel on a top snkrs list. Well deserved imo.
Great video Sean and thank you for pushing out great reviews! Hope your holidays are going well! btw - Which pickups did you get from the Kith Grinch, BMW, Sesame Street collabs?
Very solid list! Cheers 🍻
This year has been mostly asics and new balances for me too. A couple Jordans that I couldn’t miss out on mostly for nostalgic purposes.
Hell yeah!!! Was wanting to see this!
The best review of 2024 🤩🤩

I make income from UA-cam / Sponsorships / brand deals so the cost of the shoes offset my earnings lol
30-40 pairs in a year in honesty kinda ridiculous. I love sneakers but na. 10-15k on just sneakers is kinda dumb to me.

Any reason AE1 did not even get reviewed?

Great list! Agree with the turbulence, but pelican grey's over the vintage sports?
Vintage sport isn’t that good.
Sean which J Balvin 3 do you like more?
Air Max 95 Toronto 🔸 Air Max 1 Patta 🔸 NB 1906R Action Bronson Rosew Water & Médusa Zul 🔸 Air Max 1 Duck Oregon 🔸 Asics NY hidden 🔸 Nike Dunk SB Furura 🤙🏼

Appreciate it 👍
Solid top 20 list!
Great list! Thought I would see Jordan 12 solefly on the list 😂
Great list, only shoes I'd remove is the action bronson vomit green 🤢 and #4 kith x NB collabs need to be unique, and that shoe looks like a plain GR.
@@ClearSmoke100 lmaooo vomit green 😂😂😂
Futuras are amazing good list!
this year becomes the trend “comfy” sneakers
i wonder whats gonna be trend in 2025. Happy new year everyone 🎉
solid list, I rate the earls gt2160 higher than the jjounds personally.
Patta air maxes were really good quality. It made my top 15 and easily could’ve been top 10 if I didn’t enjoy a few other air maxes more.
Futura my number 1 too.
🔥🔥🔥
Is the list available or just the video.
Asics x Doublet Gel-Kayano 20 was my favorite pick up
I really thought the Air Tech Challenge 2 Andre Agassi would slip into this list.
No Spizike, the original colorway that was released this year 😀
This list is solid wish there was more variety like saucouny puma? Independent brands?new balance is clearly your favorite brand😅
@@nlimetv I think NB and asics were close in terms of # of pickups this year lol
@@SeanGo yea if it's comfortability wise kith overrated that's just my opinion but would have loved to seen some jae tips here or independent brands
Now im thinking what model would match moose or beaver theme perfectly 🤣
love u sean
What about the Nigel Jordan 4rm, that was a whole new silhouette from nike. I think the black pair is easily a top 10 sneaker of the year
@@samkrami21 Wasn’t crazy about the look
Agree with the majority of your list and definitely with your top 2. How did you even get the New Balance Salehe Bembury Lava? They are sooo good.
Sure you wanna have lunch on there that I majorly agree with him just like I say which one cause I’m trying to buy them all 😂
