The 15 Ugliest Trainers Ever Made

We accept it takes all sorts to wear some of the stuff produced by this fun, but frankly mad, industry. After all, one man’s monstrous is another man’s must-have.

The world of sneakerheads is no different, having been responsible for some of the most effed-up Air Zoolanders to ever come off a production line.

Still, if you fancy trying your hand/feet at the ugly trainer trend, here’s a list of the 15 worst crepes to ever make someone say: “What are those!?”

Nike Air Max Lunar 90 ‘Moon Landing’

The Oregon-powerhouse can’t win ‘em all. As much as we love Nike, the Air Max 90 Moon Landing takes an already divisive model and sends it into ugly-ass orbit with an awful all-over photograph of lunar craters. With respect to Neil Armstrong and Apollo 11, screw these shoes and the spaceship they rode in on.

Keds

The only people who wear the original dull-as-dishwater Keds are Australians, kewl dads who work in middle management, and guys in college who sell tickets to club nights. The brand has made some decent styles since, but these are the pits – a flat-sole abomination – and so generic that they’re actually offensive.

Adidas x Jeremy Scott ‘Bones’

Since first teaming up with Adidas in 2008, the Moschino creative director has built a name for himself turning out kicks that are seriously crap, but even we didn’t see these coming. When you make trainers this tacky, this demonstrably ugly, they should come with some kind of warning.

Adidas Kobe 2

To make this list just a running tally of ugly basketball sneakers would have been too easy. These, though, are something else. They look like someone tried to make toasters out of foam and wrapped them in plastic so cheap it’s almost certainly illegal.

New Balance 576 ‘Thunder God’

We see what Flimby’s finest was going for here but… No. Bless you, but no.
