Last week, Sneaker News readers and WDYWT regulars voted the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Paris’ as the Best of WDYWT for the week of 8/10 to 8/16. What shoe will come out on top next? The Sneaker News staff picked twenty fresh pairs for this week’s Top 20, and right off the bat, the decisions were tough to make; up for picking was some original Air Max heat as well as never-released pairs of Player Exclusives, and a pair of Bespokes popped up as well. Jordan Retros, Nike SBs, and other classics have made their way once again to this week’s Top 20, so check out this week’s Best of WDYWT and vote for the number one spot; you have until tomorrow, August 24th to let your voice be heard – polls will close at 11:59 PM ET and the winner will be announced in our Sneaker News Blogs: WDYWT section. In the meantime, be sure to submit your kicks to WDYWT and check out Sneaker News Blogs!

The AF1"Mark Smith Laser" & the Air Jordan IV Retro "Tour Yellow" are fuckin' sick. Other AF1's and Air Jordans are sick as well. I've always wondered what that AF1 waz and now it's been answered.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite weekly posts! Just have to say that those Cool-Grey IX's look incredibly suspect. Sure, they're on feet… but they sure don't look "worn"!?!? Now, if I'm wrong… I'd love to see this dude walking because he's keeping that toebox crisp!

Wonder if there'll ever be a week with no jordan iv's? Oh well, gloves should win this week but the hypebeasts probably don't know anything about them

Maybe its just me…but i cant stand white socks in a shoe thats not white or almost all white. It makes ur feet look "chunky" and adds the appearance of "kankles"…if you dont already have them. Anyone else feel me on that?
August 23rd, 2010 at 11:02 pm
j rods neva seen those…VIs killin em…egg plants 1/2 cents cant wai.:…t

^^^A solid "WDYWT" top 20. I'm loving all the runners that made it. AJs always representing (would be nice to see other colorways and models than the usual suspects.) I Love the Gloves, but they were NOT a great bball sneaker, your feet over heat in them and the zipper un-zips when you ball in them.
I must agree with 4drumz, some of the sneakers look unworn and put on for the 1st time, but who are we to judge?? I have sneakers that I've only worn 2wice and they still look deadstock and unworn.
I'm rooting for the Dunkles cuz they are 1 of my favorite SBs of all time.

AF1('82)LDUB23('85) I HAVE TO AGRRE WITH YOU, THE AF1"MARK SMITH LASER" R CRACK!!! LIKE I SAID EARLIER IN THE WK MY OPINION HE WILL WIN THE WDYWT THIS WK!!!!
August 24th, 2010 at 8:56 am
nice, 3 guys went to their backyards to take pictures
all the other 17 kept their sneakers at home
2min outside of the box for a very quick shot and then back to the box, keeping them clean and VVVVVVVVVNDS

^^^^If you look close enough, you can have a pretty good idea of what has been worn and what hasn't. Usually by the creasing of the toe-box and the shape of the shoe. Mid-sole creasing is another give-away. Most people here keep their sneakers clean, usually cuz they have a pretty good rotation of kicks to wear every day. I know I do, and that's how I keep them clean.
^^^Hypegrabber, I love your site man. You're right, Safari's are mine as well as the Foot-Patrol Stabs.
August 24th, 2010 at 11:20 am
cant lie man, youre probably right, which takes awar from the INTEGRITY of 'WHAT DID YOU WEAR TODAY"…but those gloves still have my vote!
August 24th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
i agree but i voted hufs just because they are my favorite sb high of all time.
August 24th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
HEY I'M PRETTY SURE THE GUY WITH THE MARK SMITH AF1 IS THE SAME GUY WHO WORE THE PARIS DUNK SB ON THE PREVIOUS WDYWT.
Sorry to all the haters, Mark Smith won this week. Glove is the runner-up. hahaa

August 24th, 2010 at 1:16 pm
I was right!! Same guy wore Mark Smith and Pairs http://sneakernews.com/2010/08/16/sneaker-news-bl…
Well, the sneakers are way too DS. I'm 100% sure they aren't worn at all. Just like Notorious Kicks said.
August 24th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
if u look at his right foot u can see a little scuff on the midsole of his lasers. or atleast it seems like it so im sure he's worn them around atleast once
August 24th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
i'm the guy with Mark Smith AF1's. thanks for the comments and some compliments. For clarification purposes i'm posting a comment, don't normally do this, but every shoe i've posted has been worn quite a few times.
Actually i had the Mark Smith forces on 1 day and it started raining, and I had to scramble to get out of the rain. Kicks fortunately didn't get ruined but if u look closely at the pict, u can see some of my raw denim bled onto the tongue, however i'm glad to know they still look DS.
Anyway thanks for the votes fellas. i'm humbled. RESPECT!!

^^ Mr Anonymous, how do you maintain such awesome condition of your Pairs and Mark Smith?? They look as if you just bought them off the shelf but the fact was, these kicks are considered "vintage".
Looking forward to your next post on WDYWT!!
August 24th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
Mr. Anonymous how much $$$$ are the AF1 "Mark Smith Laser"? You see I have a piece of an article that this guy in NY has those AF1's. I know how it sucks wearing such nice shoes on a rainy day. That's what happened to me when I was wearing my AF1 Low Premium Style #: 318775-002. Agree with solelabel. RE$PECT Mr. Anonymous!!!!
August 24th, 2010 at 11:32 pm
Can't deny those lasers……. ridiculously dope. They get my vote. Just my two cents on the "just put them on for the pic" comments…..I can't speak for anyone else, but all 3 pair I had in the top 20 (infrared 6's, Huf's, and Mister Cartoons have been worn several times each. If you have enough kicks in your rotation, you can keep your ish fresh and clean. I love this post, but damn it makes me jealous; so many dope shoes out there.
August 25th, 2010 at 4:16 am
damn, whoever wore those mark smith af1 got balls (no homo). cuz i cant even think of wearing mine. lol
