For the New Balance, I prefer the 2002r, not the crazy looking ‘Protection Packs’ but just the GR 2002r, some dope grey colorways and even some dope greens, browns and burgundy colors. Dress em up, dress em down, tie them tight or rock em loose. They look good all around and pretty damn comfortable. Not as comfortable as the 990v6 but much more comfortable than any Jordan. Hoping the Fear 3s sit hard, hoping to cope them as well.
I like that sneaker culture has evolved to actually include all sneakers, back in the late 2000's I would've never guessed brands like NB and Asics would be desirable even though to me they've always had cool designs
I just gotta say this is, by far, my favorite sneaker channel. I love the banter between you and Buckets and I enjoy learning about new sneakers. I'm very new to the sneaker community and primarily buy Jordan 1s (unpopular opinion but I'm a mid fan). However there's a couple sneakers in this video I really liked. I'll have to consider them going forward.
I think this is, like every sneakerhead on UA-cam (not trying to hate), very Nike focused. If you talk about sneakers to have I would add some Vans, Converse and maybe some Sambas because I think they are way more versatile than a lot of these pairs. The Jordan 1, AF1 and Jordan 3 give almost the same kind of dressing style.
You hit this on the head perfectly. The 85 cut Aj1's wear even better than the regular Aj1 retros. I swapped out the new balance for the vomero 5's they are easily the most comfortable sneaker I own.
I need to cop some vomeros. I don't cop what's popular, but I'm liked Vomeros for awhile but they've been a shoe I like but never get around to cop. Shoot I just copped my Space hippies 01 lol, I got em for a steal $64. I like wearing kicks when everyone else is sleeping on em. I hate hype
If I gotta change one on the list, it's the New Balance and replace it with Converse Chuck '70 bec. it's a bit more affordable than the New Balance. Though, if you have the patience, go for New Balance and wait for it to go on sale.
I'm doing good! I have four out of five 👌🏿 and totally agree, Air Force 1 just look awful when you wear them a lot. I have a pair of NOLA 1s and I'm tryna to keep those new looking as much as possible. I think I've only wore them twice 😅
the 990's are next on my shoe list. With my work... i'm on my feet for 10 hours a day so those all-day wearing shoes are a must in my life. Been wearing the On cloud monsters lately. Outside of Work my must have 5 are: Vans Old skool(blue/white), High top Chucks(white or black), Reebok vintage club C 85 chaulk/green, Nike SB Dunk and adidas samba black/gum soles
totally agree with the list, I mean we can all swap out something as a personal preference, for example id do the 1906 over 990 better colour ways and more affordable and id say maybe the 90 over am1, but essentially its splitting hairs.
A very solid list, but... For me any list is incomplete without that one really comfy shoe, like with react or ZoomX. The shoe that, unlike most Jordans or Nike air max makes you feel like you're walking on clouds. The Vomero 5 has been essential for me all summer in that regard. I haven't tried any new balance or asics sneakers so i cannot speak from experience, but I presume there's equivalent (if not better?) tech from those, and other brands as well.
Got everything on this list. I like AJ1's a lot. And the bred colorway is top 5 dead or alive. But I do think the AJ1 is over hyped. But I still agree with the list. Air Jordan 3 is my favorite shoe of all time. But if I could only wear one pair or style of shoe for a year. It would be the Nike Air Max 1. Good list. Honorable mention/#6 is the Nike Air Max 90 in my opinion. Anyway nice vid. Peace to all and stay safe.
I’d have to swap out the 1’s for AM90’s and that might also be my 1 year sneaker. Going with that or AF1, but not any old AF1, I’m wearing the Reacts a ton lately.
yup AM90 are my go to, I even have composite toe for work but the prices are so high now. Went from 120 to 150. Might as well spend a little more and get Js.
Adidas Stan Smith needs to be on this list either replacing the NB or the Air Max 1. The Stan Smith is classic and can be dressed up or down as much as you want. Really a perfect sneaker for almost any occasion.
Foamer is awesome he doesnt run hyped, hard to get kicks in your face. He says just get whatever xolorway you like!! All these kicks are easy to get for the most part except the Unons but he said you just have to have any Jordan 1 high!
One sneaker to wear for a year? NB 990 v5...no question. Perfect combination of cushioning, support, and style. As a marathon runner, these are my training recovery kicks.
I would say my favourite shoes are Jordan 1 highs cuz there comfy and I like the look of them. Plus there is soo much colour ways, I also got a bred 1 tatted on my arm
I love my Jordan 1s, my favorite shoes. I can walk in them all day, but I still wouldn't call them comfortable, for sure. The Jordan 1 zoom cmft though... They look good AND are waaay more comfy than the regular 1s. Too bad that most colorways are not really good looking imo, and they are not leather so they are harder to clean. But if you find a colorway you like, I would say get a pair. You'll feel the difference for sure.
Home run! I agree with all of this list. Have them all but the honorable mention. Perfect rotation! If I had only one to wear all year, it’s an easy choice: 990 all day!
Yo foamerino, if you are talking classics, you absolutely have to mention the Chuck Taylor (or similar), adidas samba/gazelle, Reebok classic/club 80 etc. they are also all time classics
I would add the dunks as well. Whatever color way but I like dunks. Especially in the summer. Something easy to throw on and roc if I’m running errands or going to the store or something.
For sure my favorite silhouettes 990s and new balance are big In Baltimore , 1s and 3s my favorite Jordan’s at this moment of my life & the uptown’s (Af1) have a special place in my heart after my city saved them but i don’t buy them any more due to your point do not look good beat , Air Max 1 all time favorite air max so i agree with this list 100%
Watched this video a few days ago didn’t even know the 990s existed Was a little weary about the price tag but I always trust you. Copped a pair and my god they’re probably my favorite shoe of all time thank you
If I only had one to wear - and only one colorway - I’d go with the Jordan 3 Balvins. I do have all of the shoes on your list - not a fan of the AF1’s though, they just don’t fit me very well. Too much heel slippage.
The way ive been living on a pip dream for a collab with Nike that has the wide toe box. I love my kicks but am also aware of foot health, just need the worlds to collide
Last pair of air force ones i owned were the suede/nubuck spin off of the linen. Baby blue instead of pink. Heat. I'll probably go for a linen re release cuz i don't have a single af1 in my collection now.
I got 3 out of 6 in the collection. I disagree with Jordan 1’s looking good as they get worn. I don’t like no sneaker/boot after they start to get beat up 🤷🏽♂️
My feet really dislike the Jordan 3, the 1 is way more comfortable for me. I have weird ankles I think, the Jordan 3 really digs into that. While the 1 is a little higher and more to the back. 2 is also very comfortable to me, but my ankles destroy the back quite quickly.
I have 4 out of 5 on this list and the 990 is the perfect all day sneaker. I have had two models in grey and they are just the best. Also, low my Chicago 1’s if I am going out.
I have the Concepts AM1 in the Far Out colorway and definitely want the Heavy and Mellow colorways but have been having a hard time finding them in general and without getting taxed
Glad he didn’t put Travis Scott AJ1 Lows or AJ4 Pine Greens or any HypeBeast shoes which were virtually unobtainable. The list is more generalized. Shocked he didn’t put ANY AJ4 in general bc they are a hot shoe these days. But I can get down with this list.
I’m big into J1s I have J3s and J4s i preferably like the 1s and 3s more due to comfort. 4s are just not very comfortable for all day wear I can wear 1s and 3s all day. Not a big fan of Air Max or Air Force. I do like new balance 550s, 2002R and 1906 Also still have yeezy 350 and 700 just because it’s so comfortable and nice.
For the New Balance, I prefer the 2002r, not the crazy looking ‘Protection Packs’ but just the GR 2002r, some dope grey colorways and even some dope greens, browns and burgundy colors.
Dress em up, dress em down, tie them tight or rock em loose. They look good all around and pretty damn comfortable. Not as comfortable as the 990v6 but much more comfortable than any Jordan.
Hoping the Fear 3s sit hard, hoping to cope them as well.
Agreed the tooling of the 2002r soles together with the 1906 are very comfy for walking all day
The 2002r is the best one
2002r is by far the best new balance as far as comfort and style combined imo. Lots of great colorways too
I like that sneaker culture has evolved to actually include all sneakers, back in the late 2000's I would've never guessed brands like NB and Asics would be desirable even though to me they've always had cool designs

What's Buckets' top 10 shoes? We need a video!
Great idea!

The Jordan 4 Nike SB Pine Green

Air max 90s over 1s
Love jordan 1s 3s 4s and 11s but my fav classic shoe will always be adidas sambas!! Can be worn with anything can be used for gym abd even football
3 out of 5 for me. I missed the AM1 and J3 Reimagined. Hope to get them in the future.
If I gotta change one on the list, it's the New Balance and replace it with Converse Chuck '70 bec. it's a bit more affordable than the New Balance. Though, if you have the patience, go for New Balance and wait for it to go on sale.
Totally agree the Chuck is basically as classic as you can get!
personally think you could replace one of the jordans for the chuck.
I'm doing good! I have four out of five 👌🏿 and totally agree, Air Force 1 just look awful when you wear them a lot. I have a pair of NOLA 1s and I'm tryna to keep those new looking as much as possible. I think I've only wore them twice 😅

Or woman!!! Sneaker head in the building!
He said what he said
@@mikejawoski5904 And I said what I said period!
Soy boy
Women too! 100%!
@@mrfoamersimpson Thank you!☺️
A fresh pair of white-red-navy Adidas Top Tens get copped every summer for me. Puma Suede Low Clydes in red also every summer.
No air max 95 or 97. Interesting!
Great list, amazing video as always. Makes me feel good knowing I have all these in the collection 😂. Foamie and buckets approved
88 Jordan 3 is my weapon of choice......
A very solid list, but... For me any list is incomplete without that one really comfy shoe, like with react or ZoomX.

This year's most slept on and most underrated Jordans, IMO, are the Luck Green Jordan 3's 🔥🔥🔥
Another classic must have is the Adidas superstar. Timeless & goes with many fits.
Great call!
The New Balance 990v6... pure perfection. Great shoe!
to wear for a full year? I'm going Jordan 3. Can be good with jeans, shorts, workout gear.
One pair I can wear for a year is aj1 or aj3
Got everything on this list. I like AJ1's a lot. And the bred colorway is top 5 dead or alive. But I do think the AJ1 is over hyped. But I still agree with the list.

totally agree. cant beat this rotation.
Vans and Converse for me. Classics ones. Looks better and way more comfy.
I’d have to swap out the 1’s for AM90’s and that might also be my 1 year sneaker. Going with that or AF1, but not any old AF1, I’m wearing the Reacts a ton lately.

No Gel Lyte III’s on the list?! Come ooooooooon 😮😂
@1:16 My favorite Retro the Royals, Shadows, Mochas, Blacktoes, and Breds but my favorite one is the Chicago OG Reimagined.
Foamer is awesome he doesnt run hyped, hard to get kicks in your face. He says just get whatever xolorway you like!! All these kicks are easy to get for the most part except the Unons but he said you just have to have any Jordan 1 high!

This is a great list can't think of no other
That Pizza Power tee is sharp! Cowabunga!
I would wear the AJ3 Cement all year no question!!!
Can’t go wrong!
4/5 have it ...great list for me
If you haven't tried a pair, try a pair of vemero 5s. Comfort is top notch and easily an all day wear.
Good list... You can switch the Jordan 3 to 4 if you fancy
Gotta be the Jordan 3 white cements for me. Comfortable and timeless. Chefskiss frfr.
Comfortable?
I dunno man I've got 4 pairs of 3s and for some reason they're the least comfortable
Mine are Air Max 1, AJ1, 990v1, Stan Smith and a pair KangaROOS COIL R1 for some different. Honorable mentions the AM90, AJ3, AJ6 and Gazelles
I would say my favourite shoes are Jordan 1 highs cuz there comfy and I like the look of them. Plus there is soo much colour ways, I also got a bred 1 tatted on my arm
calling Jordans comfy is a sign you need a Grey 990 in your life.
I love my Jordan 1s, my favorite shoes.
I can walk in them all day, but I still wouldn't call them comfortable, for sure.
The Jordan 1 zoom cmft though... They look good AND are waaay more comfy than the regular 1s. Too bad that most colorways are not really good looking imo, and they are not leather so they are harder to clean.
But if you find a colorway you like, I would say get a pair. You'll feel the difference for sure.
I'd replace the Jordan 3s with Converse high tops and the Air Maxes with either the Adidas Superstar, Samba, or Stan Smith. Great vid tho!
We like all the same silhouettes… too bad my chicken legs can’t rock AF1 😂
Home run! I agree with all of this list. Have them all but the honorable mention. Perfect rotation! If I had only one to wear all year, it’s an easy choice: 990 all day!
J1s, af1s, dunks, any good modern hoop shoe, runners...no 6 gotta be 990 i agree that one is 9ne of my alltime favorite
I got the OG air structure in the rotation
only change i would make is swap the airmax or the airforce 1 with an ultra boost or a true runner. but great list.
Met you today, I love your passion! Great meeting you :)
adidas superstar, stan smith, J3, air max 1, adidas zx 8000
Gonna get the uncivilized sneaker for my workouts
All true facts! Excellent list! The designers of the past made straight classics!!
Air max one would be the sneaker if I had to wear for a year straight. More because they are the lightest and most comfortable to me.
That shirt is hard! 💯
I agree with list.... mostly. AF1s is a no go for me. Replace wirh adidas shell toes.
Glad you showed Jordan 1s Highs love. Couple other sneaker head shots pages said they trending down. Which is very untrue.
That shirt is dope!
Yo foamerino, if you are talking classics, you absolutely have to mention the Chuck Taylor (or similar), adidas samba/gazelle, Reebok classic/club 80 etc. they are also all time classics
This was my exact list before this video! Different color ways but you nailed it!
Not here for sneakers but more the crazy personalities.
I cannot agree more! 💯🔥 please do a yearly top 5. PS most legit sneaker review channel on UA-cam. Keep up the energy guys.
I would add the dunks as well. Whatever color way but I like dunks. Especially in the summer. Something easy to throw on and roc if I’m running errands or going to the store or something.
No way that uncivilized sneaker belongs on here 😂😂😂
For sure my favorite silhouettes 990s and new balance are big In Baltimore , 1s and 3s my favorite Jordan’s at this moment of my life & the uptown’s (Af1) have a special place in my heart after my city saved them but i don’t buy them any more due to your point do not look good beat , Air Max 1 all time favorite air max so i agree with this list 100%
sweet list! I guess, I'd add the Tom Sachs GPS. If I had all colorways (or the studio if just one), I'd be good for a year.
Unpopular opinion here, but love the 2s, and for them haters, y'all just don't have a pair
Watched this video a few days ago didn’t even know the 990s existed
Was a little weary about the price tag but I always trust you. Copped a pair and my god they’re probably my favorite shoe of all time thank you

Airmax 1 for sure! ❤ all day! 100% agree with the list guys! 👍🏼
Great picks, . I agree except for the Jordan's 😅 I would swap them out for a vapor max because Jordan's are uncomfortable on my feet.
Reimagined 3s ❤
Congratulations on the Uncivilized shoe and the TMNT collab shirt is 🔥🔥🔥
... for some odd reason I was thinking you were gonna mention like a Chuck Taylor or an Adidas Superstar.. or other classic styles.
That was an incredible plug at 5:15 😃
The Jordan 3 a ma maniere are my favourite 3s
I would probably take out the NB and replace with either the Chuck Taylor or NB 574 but the rest I agree with 100%
Jordan 1 Low 85 is my new only one shoe all I need for all year round.
Are the new balance 990 good when walking on slippery platforms asking because want to get some for Moms thanks
Vomero 5 all day all year
Great video! Question. What is the brand name of the plaid pants at the 3:02 mark of your video?
personally, i will replace the NB with the adidas superstar classic. All the other 4 i do agree…
Love the list except for the AF1’s
The way ive been living on a pip dream for a collab with Nike that has the wide toe box. I love my kicks but am also aware of foot health, just need the worlds to collide
I’m sorry the Jordan 7’s &10’s are comfortable as hell in my opinion😁💪🏾💯💯💯
Last pair of air force ones i owned were the suede/nubuck spin off of the linen. Baby blue instead of pink. Heat. I'll probably go for a linen re release cuz i don't have a single af1 in my collection now.
990v6 in grey 👌🏽
I got 3 out of 6 in the collection. I disagree with Jordan 1’s looking good as they get worn. I don’t like no sneaker/boot after they start to get beat up 🤷🏽♂️
I agree with all but one, the 990, my go to NB is the 998, and maybe the 997 other than that you named all my treasures in no specific order
Shirt is fire. Def copped. Respect.
I knew at least one model of New Balance would make the list even though I have exactly 0 pairs of them
Yessir it’s been what 6 days 🦾🦾🦾
Dope boy air max 95’s
My feet really dislike the Jordan 3, the 1 is way more comfortable for me.
I have weird ankles I think, the Jordan 3 really digs into that. While the 1 is a little higher and more to the back.

I would wear the Kobe 6 Protro Grinches
I’m big into J1s I have J3s and J4s i preferably like the 1s and 3s more due to comfort. 4s are just not very comfortable for all day wear I can wear 1s and 3s all day.
Not a big fan of Air Max or Air Force.
I do like new balance 550s, 2002R and 1906
Also still have yeezy 350 and 700 just because it’s so comfortable and nice.
Those shoes are wacccckkkkkkk
