No.One is a company that appears to pride itself on a less is more level of information. This year the brand removed all information from social media and relaunched with a countdown. The countdown refreshes each time the Bespoke design crew out of Los Angeles makes another batch of handmade footwear. Now with handmade footwear…
Filling Pieces made a concentrated effort to create a classic basketball silhouette from the 90s although the brand wasn’t around at the time. They created a chunky soled premium leather version of a basketball shoe that if it was on a wall next to a classic Jordan it would definitely give a retro a run…
This addition is all about the materials. I made the statement that my Greats Pronto was the best luxury sneaker to release this year. I was wrong. I had the Pronto Robin Hood in this position until I took a second look and realized that suede is a much more supple material and it makes…
The Delta from Brandblack made the list last year. This year Brandblack was basically on blakout mode as the website was down for the majority of the year and the brand seemed focused primarily on helping out Big Baller Brand. Towards the end of the year the site came back on track and actually launched…
NOBULL has earned solid reviews from Crossfit athletes and in my opinion, the shoe that I’m most likely to buy for my workouts this upcoming year will be the City Lights Trainer. I can see myself hitting the heavy bag looking like a scene out of Creed (minus the Jumpman). The shoe is a rugged,…

Materials – Premium materials are important to me… very important. Aesthetics – the way the shoe looks, colorway, cut… some of the shoes that could…
Last year Saucony dominated my Top 40 list with shoes like the Bricks, Ramen, and Chocolate Pack. This shoe cracked my top 20, but it was more of the story behind the project and a sentimental choice as I really wanted Saucony to deliver on another year of amazing lifestyle options. Instead Saucony released a…
Actually the Greats Brand delivered the Pronto and the Rosen in an almost 24 hour turnaround. It was possibly some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced for an online order. The Pronto is easily the best looking premium trainer I’ve ever owned. The Rosens run small in my opinion although the site said…

Source: Financial Times Anyone who reads this site understands that I’ve always had an affinity for Under Armour. The startup represented to me an opportunity to capture a share of the footwear and apparel market in an era dominated by Nike and adidas.

The Timberland rival from Nike this year isn’t the Air Force 1 Wheat, it’s the Retro 9 Wheat. The boot arrives with two sets of shoe strings and the classic wheat colorway lands over a spiked, lugged outsole that it is much more rugged feeling than the Timberland, but has the weight of a heavier…
The idea of taking classic Jordan Retros and turning them into winterized boots only works with certain models. The Jordan 9 is the perfect silhouette to be transformed into a boot. On this colorway Jordan Brand actually earns the 225.00 dollar price point by taking an ACG styled color and giving you a pair of…
The Air Force 1 Utility has become one of the surprise hits of the early fall season. The “Off White” styled deconstruction of the classic in a minimalist fashion is eye catching and priced right. The shoe features tumbled leather and the Nike trademarks associated with the Air Force 1 placed in different locations than…
Katie Nolan’s Always Late takes a dive into sneaker culture.
In 2017 I faced one of the biggest economic setbacks anyone could experience. In 2015 I made 700,000 dollars. In 2016 I made 300,000 dollars. In 2017 everything was gone. I tell the story and explain how losing half a million dollars was a matter of making a conscious decision after making a lot of…
