The best-selling "rising stars" in Italy
The most popular "rookie" sneakers in the last year
December 7th, 2020
2020 was a special year for fashion, which had to deal with a global pandemic that forced millions of people into their homes and changed the way people produce and communicate. Despite this sneaker and streetwear they continued their path with few setbacks, giving us, despite the vintage, interesting news and some pleasant surprises. They are the "rising stars", sneakers that somewhat surprisingly have imposed themselves in the rotation and in the collections of Italian fans, finding space together with more noble and high-sounding names.
Not only Nike and Yeezy, but also ASICS and New Balance which thanks to two collaborations have managed to become the object of desire of Italian sneakerheads. Let's talk about the ASICS Gel Lyte III Sean Wotherspoon x atmos, which saw the return of the designer owner of Round Two after the famous Air Max 97/1, and the New Balance 550 Aime Leon Dore in the White Red colorway. Kanye West also finds space with two new Yeezy models: the Yeezy QNTM, back available after a very limited first drop, and the Yeezy Slide Bone, both discussed and appreciated.
Among the outsiders, the classic Vans Old Skool Flame Black True White, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70s Hi Fear Of God Black Natural by Jerry Lorenzo and the Reebok Ghost Smashers Ghostbusters stand out in one of the most absurd collaborations among those seen in 2020. Climbing at the top of the adidas rankings, he takes two podium positions with the adidas ZX 8000 Lego and the adidas Superstar Sean Wotherspoon Superearth, the veg sneakers signed once again by Sean Wotherspoon. Last but not least Nike, which in addition to taking the top of the rankings with the Nike Air Force 1 Low Orange Skeleton, perfectly embodies the green mood with the Nike Space Hippie 01 Vast Gray Hyper Crimson.
