The Best Sneakers of 2026 | Complex Con(versations) Panel

ComplexCon’s marquee event, the Sneaker Of The Year panel, is back for the 2026 edition with host Joe La Puma, plus panelists Lil Yachty, Shannon Sharpe, Rich Paul, Bree Walker and Matt Welty, as they choose the top ten sneakers of the year. From Nigel Sylvester’s latest Jordan 4 to the Awake x Air Jordan 6 and more surprises, the panel debates each choice and in a new twist this year, the audience votes with their feedback as well.
