2. DIOR X JORDAN 1 HIGH AND LOW
TEASED LATE OCTOBER 2019, THE COLLABORATION WAS EVENTUALLY RELEASED IN JUNE AND JULY OF 2020. AVAILABLE MAINLY TO DIOR’S VIP CUSTOMERS, AND A FEW MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, NOT MANY OTHER COLLABORATIONS HAVE EVER REACHED THIS LEVEL OF HYPE. THE TRAINERS RESOLD FOR OVER £10,000 UPON RELEASE.

3. COMMES DES GARCONS X NIKE AIR MAX 95
One of most iconic sneakers in the culture, the air max 95. Worn by the many, so when Rei Kawakubo’s Comme des Garcons took the reigns on the redesign of this classic, with the EXAGGERATED uppers and fraying edges its safe to say the community went crazy.

4. MINIMALISM AT ITS FINEST
FINDING FAME ONLINE, THE CANADIAN DESIGN STUDIO JJJOUND CAME BACK WITH A BANG IN 2020, WITH THIER FAULTLESS NEW BALANCE 992 DESIGN. FEATURING A MINIMALISTIC COLOUR PALETTE HEAVY WITH CREAMS AND NATURAL EARTH TONES THE SNEAKER SOLD OUT ONLINE WITHIN MINUTES. Literally.

5. REWORKED TO PERFECTION
After the insane recognition that the first SACAI x NIKE COLLABORATION received, they once again collaborated to bring us the reworked vaporwaffle. And that’s right, you guessed it, it sold out instantly. featuring a reworked midsole and double laces, the vaporwaffle embodies the reworked look for 2020.
