THE 2019 SNEAKERS DIARY

2019 is a fairly good year for sneaker head and collectors, as boundaries were pushed and innovative designs dropped. Some of these sneakers(from 2019) are remarkable because of their exotic designs and price tags. Also, the three giants: Adidas, Nike, and Puma, just like every year, each tried to monopolise the market, with the lesser brands struggling to keep up.

As usual in the sneaker world, old designs that rocked during their days are mostly re-invented and redesigned with a few touches, and this year is no exception.

NIKE- 2019 is Nike’s year, as they unveiled many astounding designs and fashion collections this year. The collaborations were fruitful too.

Some higlights of the year include:
