I agree with dblplay1212 - if it ain't a new colorway it can't be contender for "Sneaker of the Year"
Retros don't qualify for "Sneaker of the Year" title .
Using the Shawshank example that's being used, a remastered Shawshank Redemption movie is still Shawshank Redemption. But if you film it again with new actors using the same story line, then it's an entirely new movie.
Wrong AF, new materials = new actors
