Yeezy, Jordan and New Balance Featured on the Stadium Goods Best Sneakers of 2021 List
Sneaker brands delivered a seemingly endless amount of heat to the market in 2021. With the year coming to a close, Stadium Goods rounded up its top 10 pairs that made the most noise — which are available at the marketplace now.
The list, according to Stadium Goods, was compiled by content manager Zack Schlemmer as well as other SG editors and its social media team. Factors for inclusion were the impact on sneaker culture, aesthetics, popularity on social media and sales at Stadium Goods.
