We live in a collab-heavy sneaker world in 2022. When we all have our sneaker of the year conversations to finish the year, it’ll be dominated by sneakers made in collaboration with creators.
Nike x fill in the blank. New Balance x creator Y. Adidas x sneaker designer Z. That’s just how the game goes now. It’s rare to see a sneaker stand on its own and be considered one of the best of the year.
But the Taxi Air Jordan 1 did it. This shoe is amazing. From the materials to the color palette to the specific shade of yellow it comes with, it has the goods.
