Yizhou Ma | Dec 31, 2018
2018’s Celebrity Sneaker Stalker is coming to the end, but it’s still up to you to let us know who rocked the most heat and who rocked it best.
After going through the best of the best from CSS, we’ve narrowed it down to a field of 12 candidates for the 2018 #CSSMVP. From John Mayer to Sheck Wes, this year’s silver squad is full of both fresh faces and OGs with feet and head to toe style that’s defining the current generation.
Get a look at our 2018 All-CSS Second Team below and vote in the poll to decide who should be considered for 2018 #CSSMVP.

J Balvin is having a career year in 2018 on the charts. Better yet? His sneaker game is on fire, too. Not only did he break out some exclusive sneakers like Nike Air Yeezy 2s, his custom sneaker game proved to be both serious and creative.

Fabolous is not a stranger to CSS as his wide of range of sneaker choices are alway on point. From championing the throwback wave almost two decades ago to still remaining relevant and stylish in 2018, the Young OG is certainly living up to his title.

Sheck Wes not only is the Rookie of the Year for the CSS, but he has to be in cosideration for Rookie of the Year in the music world. Cactus Jack Records’ new signee is making a wave and his sneaker game can’t be ignored.
Virgil Abloh

While Virgil Abloh is taking his label Off White to another level, his partnership with Nike is still going strong. Not only did Abloh design some of the best Nikes to hit the market in 2018, he also debuted them on red carpets and on the runway for many statement wears.

John Mayer has been rocking heat since he dropped “Daughters” in 2003. In 2018, Mayer proved he’s still got it by tie-dying his Off-White Prestos and helping debut the Fear of God x Nike collection.

Wale is still the absolute legend when it comes to CSS. Though he posts less so he’s seen less often, trust that Folarin is still rocking everything from SBs to slept-on GRs and everything in between.
