Here's a rundown of the biggest sneaker drops of the year
Unsurprisingly, Air Jordan sneakers top this year's list of holy grails with coveted colourways that keep sneakerheads on their toes. Yeezy has had its turn with Foam Runners and Wave Runners in the past, but there's a not-so-new drop in town that's raking in profits on every shoe platform.

Some honourable mentions of 2022 that didn't make it on the list are Air Jordan 1 High OG 'Taxi', Air Jordan 1 High ’85 'Georgetown', and Nike Dunk 'Panda' which restocked in full-family sizing.
But these are the top five sneakers that you need to cop before the year ends:
Air Jordan 1 'Chicago'
First off the list is—you guessed it—the Air Jordan 1 'Chicago'. Also known as 'Lost and Found', the reimagined design of the iconic 1985 AJ1 Chicago is one of the most anticipated releases ever.
Much like the OG pair, the 2022 version bears a larger Swoosh. Collectors will also love its subtly aged appearance, a nod to the AJ1 Chicago's weathered look. Even the mismatched box of the shoes gives it a vintage feel.
