BIG RICH’S TOP FIVE SNEAKERS OF 2020

Peace Family, Cheats here.

I like to think that I know kicks but the truth is my homie Big Rich “really” knows kicks.

He is the most passionate and knowledgeable sneakerhead I know, and what he says about sneakers, I take as gospel.

I reached out to the Booze and Grooves/Wax Build-up co-founder/OG Cheats Movement Podcast pioneer and asked him to bless us with his top 5 sneakers of 2020.

Here is Rich’s Top Five Sneakers of 2020, along with Big Rich commentary:

5. Nike Space Hippie 03

Big Rich: “This shoe came out of no f—— nowhere! Love them or hate them, you can’t beat the comfort level. If you have wide feet, you’re going to struggle to put them on. It’s like wearing Rick James’ boots. After three tries I finally got them on – definitely a neck breaker. But don’t be a sucker and wear them with jeans.

4: Nike SB Dunk Low Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Dunky

Big Rich: “The only shoe to break my heart this year. I don’t know a single person that copped. Maybe that’s because a** clowns backdoored the f*** out of them, and skateboarders trashed them, and other dicks ate ice cream of them (smdh). Oh well, I was going to flip them anyway.”

3: Nike SB Dunk Low Travis Scott

Big Rich: “From McDonald’s to Nike – this has been the year of Travis Scott. Every pair of Nike’s he put his spin on became a must-have. And with a newfound love for SBs, this was a no brainer. To be honest, if you don’t flip these for resale, you’re a fool. The resale is around $1,500 or higher.”

2: Nike Air Max 90 Reverse Duck Camo (2020)

Big Rich: Now here is a real classic (and classy) sneaker. Classic lines, comfort, and colorway. I caught the L on the SNKRS app but it didn’t matter because the bots went straight to the resellers and resold the F*** out of these. I still haven’t seen them in the wild.

1: Jordan 4 Retro Union Off Noir

Big Rich: The classic silhouette made famous by His Airness and Spike Lee was redone by Union LA — AND (AT FIRST LOOK) ALL OF YOU HATED IT! And I don’t blame you. The fold-down tongue is atrocious and those colors — OH MY GOD! Guava Ice??? Brigade Blue?? WTF??? But then, a week before their actual release, we were all trying to figure out what fit we could pull them off with. I caught the W on SNKRS, but I ultimately saw the resale price and made the flip. Damn shame too, because they went perfect with the Noah-O X Esoteric Fresh “Change” hat.
