In selecting the Sneaker News Blogs: Best of WDYWT, the staff does its best to gather the twenty best from the week focusing on diversity, great pictures, and the rarity factor. It just so happens that ‘basketball’ was a recurring theme for this week’s best picks, because we have some great basketball-born sneakers from beginning to end. We’ve got some great rare gems like the Air Bakin’ ‘Air’ edition, which was pulled from shelves, a HWC colorway of the LeBron VII, and the uber-rare Air Flightposite 1 Carbon Fiber. Even Hakeem Olajuwon makes an appearance, so check out the Top 20 below and vote for your favorite at the very end.
-
Air Jordan XI ‘Bred’ 2001 – Boddiebagg – Germany
Nike Air Zoom Generation – Dbay – New York, NY
Air Jordan VII ‘Year of the Rabbit’ – LMNO – Minneapolis, MN
Nike Air Bakin’ ‘AIR’ Edition – SaneakerTerrorist – ???

August 23rd, 2011 at 3:14 am
Concords are nice but xii s are dead fresh
August 23rd, 2011 at 4:04 am
the yellowing on the columbias makes them look nice. gives them some flavor to let you know they are OG, that creme color.
August 23rd, 2011 at 6:07 am
Lots and lots of chunky basketball shoes this week.
August 23rd, 2011 at 8:13 am

August 23rd, 2011 at 10:06 am

August 23rd, 2011 at 5:17 pm
Let The Hype Begin
August 23rd, 2011 at 5:43 pm
Vi believes U stuffed the tongues of ur Dunks…
August 23rd, 2011 at 6:20 pm
Wow I was talking about this exact topic on NT last month. Personally, I hope the Breds drop next year, and have the Columbias drop during the summer. Who the hell would wear white Js during the winter?
August 23rd, 2011 at 6:24 pm
too bad we wont get them for another 4 years
August 23rd, 2011 at 6:44 pm
huh what kind of shit is that, thats da first ive eva heard that b4 stuffed <<< huh? lol lmfao! that was da third time i wore them !!!!
August 23rd, 2011 at 8:16 pm
Man how didn't my quai 54's make it im not gettin it…??
August 23rd, 2011 at 8:59 pm
I totally agree, its just a shoes that you don't see anymore! These new cats just don't understand the history of the "The Dream". Just like the AJ 1 took MJ to new heights so did this "The Dream" for Akeem Olajuwon during the begining of his nba career.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:14 pm
That's not true, i'm north american but i voted for the og bakins. I personally love the shoe and i'd put the flightposite 1's at a close second. Don't get me wrong i love jordans too but these shoes just do it for me.
August 23rd, 2011 at 11:32 pm
Could stem from jealousy, who knos, just plain ol ignorant. Nice pic tho fam…
August 24th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
i knew i wasn't the only one who thought white kicks in the winter us rediculous….
August 24th, 2011 at 3:31 pm
and those hufs are nice, but he aint wearin em right…had to vote for the og cords again, need to be ahead of the shitty retros
August 25th, 2011 at 4:49 pm
Is it just me or are those carbon fiber 6-rings looking pretty legit?
August 26th, 2011 at 9:08 am
OG Has Clear BLUE Sole….
