The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

803 days ago - by George Kiel III - 41 comments

Today’s The Good, the Bad & the Ugly features a collection of sneakers that honors a 20-year milestone, a very fresh basketball shoe from a lesser-known brand and a fusion model that many of you have bashed since it first surfaced on the web. With that said, click here to see the position each sneaker holds in our weekly feature. What was your personal good, bad and ugly this week?

The Good – Reebok Pump 20 Program

Reebok Pump 20 Program

We must applaud Reebok for executing a great promotion plan for the 20th Anniversary of the Pump sneaker. Over the past month, we have seen a lot of fresh, collaborative designs along with the two original colorways. Therefore, this Reebok Pump 20 Program represents our ‘Good’ section: (1) As stated earlier, it is great to see Reebok join efforts with some of the well-recognized boutiques and stores around the world. (2) We know most of you are nonetheless tired of seeing Pump after pump!

I don’t have a clue with the Guy before me (soulie16) is talking about but this is a great post. It won’t be long before the close minded, dogmatic sneakerheads c’mon here and start knocking the pumps though because it’s not Nike or Jordan brand. Personally, I love and have the utmost respect for Reebok and their creative attitude, originality, and their execution with their ideas.

Reebok’s are classics……especially Pumps…….and YES, the Foo-GAY-zee-fusion 13′s are THE worst yet…..but have hope, cuz when if/when they do a FUSION 15, the earth will EXPLODE……
Ajo

robbfalchi

soulie713
idk why people be saying the fusion 13′s look nice up close. they some straight up liars i dont care how u look at these shoes they staright up ugly and definatly not worth ur money.

Pumps > Fusions.
Max Power
Yeah fusions aren’t my fancy, but these represent the big over-reaching Jordan brand has been doing with their drops lately. They don’t know when to keep it simple. Its like they just pull key features from past jordan shoes out of a hat and just put them together, very little thought involved and hype-beast feed into it.
fosterakahunter
That second selection is far uglier than the fusion, in my opinion. However, Jordan has carried the concept a bit past where it was novel; It’s just boring now. Are they really going to fusion the entire line, one through 23? Jeez
this guy says…
fusions always get hated on (even by the sneakersites) these will grow on many.
DCSnkrHead
Fools In DC love fusions,and I`ll admit some are nice but they AJF13 ruined my most adored Air Jordan.
jjjjj
@ FuSiOnMaN23
fail. and fusions are wack, air force ones are wack, and js are for anybody.
bigbert83
VERY STANGE…..HIT THE MALL FOR THE FUSIONS AND THEY WERE SOLD OUT…….CONSPIRACY?…..I THINK NOT?!
thunder
Who ever wrote this about the ajf 13 is an ass-hole. Because they sold out in footlocker already. I’m sorry but dang, you can’t hate on a good shoe that is a fusion.
