The HYPE Report

To end the year, Mikey sits down with Senior Editor Robert Marshall and Footwear Editor Ross Dwyer to discuss the best sneakers of 2019 as well as the most important sneakers of the decade. A year of collaborations between musicians, athletes, luxury brands and much more, there was no corner of pop-culture that footwear did not infiltrate. Our editors dive into topics such as why sacai's Nike collaboration was the perfect mesh of two silhouette, and why CPFM's VaporMax might be the sneaker of the year.

Without a doubt streetwear's impenetrable force in the past decade has led to the rise of athleisure, sneaker apps, resell sites and influencers. This would not be possible without some sneakers that changed the course of the past decade, from the adidas YEEZY BOOST 350 to fragment design's Air Jordan 1. So tune in above to hear their picks and recap of the decade. For more information: https://hypebeast.com/2019/11/best-sneakers-footwear-shoes-nike-adidas-jordan-new-balance-asics-reebok

This week, Mikey sits down with editors Felson Sajonas, Jake Silbert and Nia Groce to discuss notable fashion designers, trends, collaborations and moments of 2019 as well as the past decade. With streetwear's stronghold in fashion, it comes as no surprise that this year saw numerous luxury streetwear collaborations from Shawn Stüssy x Dior, UNDERCOVER x Valentino, and adidas x Prada. We also witnessed the impermanence of '90s fashion, from the resurgence of New Balance to heavily monogrammed tracksuits. Perhaps the most debated topics of 2019 were the issues surrounding sustainability, with nearly every brand taking major initiatives to build a better ecosystem.

Our editors dive into it all, even touching upon controversies and why consumers need a better resolution for "cancel culture." They also discuss the buying power of nostalgia, underrated brands and much more. So tune in above and in case you missed it, revisit our top 10 fashion brands of 2019. https://hypebeast.com/2019/12/best-fashion-clothing-brands-designer-supreme-louis-vuitton-nike

This week on The HYPE Report, Mikey sits down with Music Editor Emmanuel Maduakolam and Music Coordinator Patrick Johnson to discuss the best music of 2019 alongside moments of the past decade. A standout year for R&B with Summer Walker's Over It and SiR's Chasing Summer to the return of gritty gangster rap like Freddie Gibbs & Madlib's Bandana and Griselda's WWCD, 2019 was a year of unforeseen genres co-existing in the same space.

We saw the rise and power of viral hits from Lil Nas X, Lizzo and Billie Eilish taking over streaming platforms to eclectic artists like JPEGMAFIA and Flying Lotus pushing forth the sound of music. Reflecting on the past decade, our editors also discuss the unstoppable popularity of "toxic R&B", the power of rap crews, the impact of the Knowles sisters and much more. Listen above to find out why our editors also believe we live in the era of the algorithm and wouldn't mind bring back the golden age of torrenting.

This week Mikey sits down with Entertainment Editor Isaac Rouse to discuss the best movies of 2019. This year was a notable one for not only streaming kingpins like Netflix, who showcased Martin Scorsese's gangster film The Irishman, but also international cinema, which saw the release of South Korea's critically-acclaimed Parasite. A number of franchises also concluded in stellar fashion this year, most notably Toy Story 4 and Avengers: Endgame.

In this episode, you'll hear about the aforementioned titles as well as our host's favorite films, honorable mentions, disappointments and why Isaac believes Shaft was not only the funniest film of 2019, but also incredibly under-hyped. They also weigh in on the effects of TV shows Game of Thrones Season 8 and Disney+'s latest series, The Mandalorian.
