| The Magic Tradeshow happens twice a year where thousands of people come from across the world to see the latest in fashion. While we saw a ton of great sneakers over at Project, the overwhelming majority at Magic were a sight for sore eyes. In short summary, the Air Force One was abused to make some horrible shoes. We are trying to figure out whether Bruce Kilgore (designer of the Air Force 1) is either laughing hysterically or in tears from seeing these disasters in the form of kicks.To change it up for a recap, we decided to do the “Worst in Show Awards” honoring those who truly make the worst looking shoes anyone could find. We felt it was time that these companies (and those who bought them) were put on blast for making such ugly ish. Writeup and winners after the jump. |  |
#5 “Tough City” Though the shoes were branded with “TOUGH CITY” on the back, there is nothing masculine about glitter glue on your shoes.
#4 “Siegfried & Roy” Is it just me, or are those shoes giving me a sexual sort of look. The pair on the right is inspired by a tiger, and the pair on the left is actually a technicolored, flamboyant zebra….terrible.
#3 “Air Wear NYC” Ironically the map on the other side of the shoe features Canal Street so you know where you can find more shoes that are in this class of ugly.
#2 “G Kicks” There is nothing G about these. A knockoff of an invisible Bape?! The best laugh of all was that they were trying to get rid of these shoes for only $11 a pair.
(Drum roll please…..)
#1 “Kashi Kicks” I don’t know where to begin. This company paid for the rights to have Liberace endorse their shoes. The worst part of all was seeing tons of people in their booth booking orders. This company even produced a music video to endorse the shoes and did a shout out to HypeBeast.com. I am sure Kevin and his attorney’s are looking at their legal options as we speak…
