Today’s The Good, the Bad & the Ugly is very different than previous installments for a couple of reasons. This time, we have picked three sneakers that have not released yet; furthermore, one of the three may or may not release at all.

The Good – Austin Jermacan’s winning Melo design

Austin Jermacans' winning design

As part of the Future Sole 2009 Competition, 17-year old aspiring designer Austin Jermacan designed this Jordan Melo M6 concept. Its style and design was well-received by you to say the least (some of you stated that it was better than the original Jordan Melo M6). This concept M6 represents our ‘Good’ section because it was creativity is second to none in regards to its inspiration. Austin added the silver ringlets at the bottom of the shoe since Carmelo Anthony himself said the Converse Chuck Taylor was one of his favorite shoes. In addition, Carmelo stated that the Clae sneakers were some of his favorite. Therefore, Austin added a Clae-like design on the collar area. Is there anything bad to be said about this concept design?

LeRoys are ugly! too much clashing on it.
under armours…should stick to football.
and Andi’s M6 should’ve been the one JB released. Carmelo must feel like crap knowing he could’ve had that instead.

“This Under Armour design by no means represents our ?Bad? section because of its looks. In fact, we have all agreed that the Under Armour basketball sneakers that we have seen so far have been great to say the least.” are you serious ?!?! these are super ugly ! i wouldn’t wear them for free
