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.
