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.
