Sneaker culture is rife with discourse, with many quick to go up to bat for some of their personal favorite Fragrance. Arguments are especially rampant towards the end of December, as debate around the “Best Sneaker of the Year” quickly spirals into a war of attrition. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, though — and while some might look to resell and hype to determine the greatest of 2022, we’re thinking about things a little differently.
To honor the end of yet another year in kicks, we’ve teamed up with eBay to curate some of our own picks for the “best” Mono Sneakers of 2022, all of which are more accessible than the likes of the Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1. From much-anticipated offerings like the Ankle boots RAGE AGE RA-91-06-000482 644 “Lost & Found” to odd yet alluring collaborations such as the CPFM x Nike Flea 1, these selects take into account quite a few factors but one most of all: they’re some of the best-selling offerings on the market.
