Ugly Expensive Sneakers

Absolute masterpiece.
The 97s are one of the most iconic, nearly perfect sneaker designs. Got a good laugh seeing them disparaged from post one.
Triple S will be talked about for decades, and anyone who thinks they're just expensive Sketchers has clearly never handled a pair in person. Design and construction that's just off the charts.
Ugly, expensive shoes is the $1700 Margiela trash sneaker with duct tape and hot glue:

Several people collaborated on the design and production of those shoes because they honest to god thought "Yeah, this is a good idea."

When I occasionally dust these off I tend to get complements. Dislike of the Air Max 97 is rare.
These look like they are an accessory to My Pet Monster. Anyone remember those? Apparently Adidas does!Go get you a pair of Addidas Slavers.

Haha, I was about to say that!
I used to have this one:
Do we have a Vintage toys topic btw? We should have one.

Wait, these aren't a joke/Photoshop?!

Adidas Cancels Its 'Shackle Shoes'

97's airmax's are not uglyMy day job is working at the headquarters for Finish Line where we ship all of our shoes to different locations around the country. Finish Line specializes in premium shoes, like Jordans and Yeezys, meaning people shell out upwards to $260 on a pair of sneakers.
Some of the stuff that I see in inventory makes me wonder why the fuck people are spending almost half a paycheck's worth on money on a pair of shoes. Like, if you had that money to blow, wouldn't you want something that holds some value like Jordans instead of whatever the hell these things are?
Anyone else care to share some examples of just the ugliest expensive shoes?
Honestly like 99% of expensive sneakers look like absolute dogshit to me.
I feel like this is the case with "high fashion" in general though, basically it's just a scam to see how people are willing to spend ridiclous sums of money on overdesigned "limited" things. Ah well, if people buy it can't blame them for doing it.

I mean it's not really a good color but it's a good silhouette. I love the Silver bullets and the gold and red ones
This looks like candy.
Naw naw. Concord J's are sexy. With some joggers a tee and a breaker its a wrap son. Fit on point ladies be like hmmm when I walk through.
Aren't these just re-releases of ones from the late 90s? Definitely remember kids in school wearing these
Oh brother
It's a collector thing and culture around the shoes. Not much different then gamers and anime fans who slam down credit cards for some rare toy or shirt.
Hype beast culture can get just as cringy as gaming culture sometimes. I would say the worst offender was this pair of white payless granny sneakers made by gucci which had faux yellowing and dirt on them. I swear I saw the same pair of sneakers at a goodwill once. The Guccis was $800.
This looks like something an edgy character/boss in a JRPG would wear
I just don't see the problem here. People like the rush of finding the shoes and collecting them. If this didn't work we wouldn't have an entire industry around it.
A collectors type of industry has always existed in some capacity be it toys or comics or shoes now.

Facts my G! I just received mine too via the SNKRS app. Most likely also picking up the bred colorway that comes out next December 🤙🏾
There's no problem, the guy is just jealous of people with disposable income, pretty transparent.

have fun with your basic ass adidas superstars

Maybe if youre in highschool or some shit.
What the fuck is "drip"? Lmao
sauce, my guy. jesus, what's the avg age itt.....
if you're gonna talk shit post what shoes you have on tbh
Hypebeast ass shoe trends are god awful. All these people trying to get Off-white and Yeezy shoes as if they are somehow aesthetically pleasing.
Same type of dudes who still think wearing Bape is cool. Shit is just like a more expensive Obey. Never understood the love for the Air Max 97 either.
