The Good. The Bad. The Ugly. PUMA

The Good. The Bad. The Ugly. PUMA Edition

Yes sadly not all shoe companies are infallible, it is simply the corporate machine that makes them do this. However it is the same force that makes them be creative and come out with innovative Kicks that are worthy of thou’s feet.

The Good.

Artists and Kicks coming together often produce some of the greatest Kicks on the street today. Most of us Aficionados appreciate Kicks because of the style, the comfort, and the function of this things strapped on our feet. So needless to say Art + Kicks = FRESH. (most of the time)

The Bad.

Being said for Artists and great shoe companies together being good, not so artistic people and shoe companies are bad. In this instance Sneaker Freaker, a website that I frequent often, slipped up a little bit when dishen up their collab with Puma. I still have the utmost respect for them, however this shoe is down right ugly. I know, I know “Its a classic”, well not all classic things are Fresh.

The Ugly.

Ahhhh, classics. This is a dangerous term. For many just the mention of “classic” or “vintage” can distort their view of what looks good. Or for that matter REMOTELY good, I mean wow, this shoe is hard to look at. The thought of actually wearing it in public seems downright embarrassing.
