2008 Worst Sneaker of the Year?
OK, we know people will catch feelings about this sticky topic, but thats life. The end of 2008 is here and this week and next week we will continue to reflect on this years sneakers. We had some dope, hot, lukewarm, average, and wack sneakers release this year. We’ve seen sneaker brands like Gourmet, Fila, and others play copycat. ‘08 offered tons of crap from almost every sneaker brand you can think of, but who released the worst sneaker. The 2008 Worst Sneaker of the Year is???
Let us know in the comments section!

This is going to be funny
Hands down its gotta be those WACK fake ass De La Lows that are up there????? Where the hell did you find those??????? I feel like jumping on a plane and flying to ATL and destroying your computer G for making me aware that those things even exist….Those are not real are they G…please tell me it aint so….
In regards to real sneakers from major companies I would have to say any release from Fila..take you pick ALL garbage..even those Wu boots..
Oh and btw…Happy New Year my dude…2009 is gonna rock for TSG…I see big things coming for you my man….oh and I’m digging the tear away page for the online shop…freshness..
JB’s horrible material quality!
….Jordan fusions …especially the fusion v
haha..ya I agree wit c brown… Those de la lows are wack.. I think that’s by MADFOOT or something like that…I gotta say the whole Yums line by soulja boy is garbage…
20 fusion
Much love as always CB. You’ve been down for a longggg time now. Happy New Year TSGers and haters. Btw CB those De La MadFoots are real and we have a full size run in the TSG online shop…lol
any fusion
the six rings olympic. and the six rings just in general
Best shoe of 09′?? The AIR YEEZYS
namebrands 6rings and xx fusions.
o yea can you add the spx footwear. that just showed on a couple sites.
yo i lik the 6 rings bred. but thats it. and the worst has to be the supra all red clown shoes. air yeezy hasn’t come out yet, but they would be on the top five worst fa sho if they did come out 08
Jesusg23…thats if they do come out…
gourmet sucks, madfoot bites, jordan brand is washed up, reebok try harder, adidas stop trying so hard. thats my thoughts but each sneaker brand put out something i liked in 08.
C’mon now out of all the horrible kicks that have dropped this year you can’t possibly put the six rings in that. I love retro’s to death but there are other hot shoes from JB other than retro’s maybe not as hot but hot in there own right. But any way Happy 09 to all and BIG UPS to G-ROC for holding it down like always!!!!!!!!!!
De la fakes r real bad….but how bout fake 11s?…I mean bred 6 rings…I’m still laughing at those who bought into that hype..cuz those r ugly!!!
evrytime i walked thru the mall and saw those wanna b 7s Filas i burst out laughin. so that has to be it.
ALL FUSIONS… the 6 rings is a runner up, along with the Jordan 2.5 Pretty much all the mutant Jordans produced this year.
all the fusions wack. them ugly funks up there and them frauda’s they got out…
Ummm the six rings wherent that bad..the worst shoe of 08 was the…shoot every jordan micheal put out besides the six rings and the packages even those could have been better…but rumor has it their will better packages next year for surrre!!!!
FUSIONS too many and too many colorways and YUMS def ugly
hasn’t come out yet but the fusion 9s imo will be the worst invention ever
i mean the 9s are nice and the vast majority of the fusion 9s will resemble the 9s (the only big af1 counterpart is the mid and bottom sole) but i think its completely pointless. if ur making a shoe that combines af1s and the retro 9s that pretty much looks like a retarded version of the retro9s, u might as well just reretro the 9s.
and i think the fusion concept defeats the value of the af1 and jordans. makes them feel not as special now that JB is just mixing and matching them up randomly
the jordan skate shoes
haha and all the fusions
Everything that Jordan released that is NOT a Retro.
Terrible year for JB.
They kinda OD’ed on the fusions. 12’s, 5’s, 3’s, 20’s, soon 6’s for Q1, the 9’s in Q2, the 4’s in Q3… IDK.
LOL If you guys hated the J’s that WEREN’T CDP, you’re gonna hate some of the new shit JB’s coming out with. I.e – the Jordan True Flight 45? ( I think that’s what they’ll be called)
Terrrrrrrrible…
JB’s coming out with more skate J 1’s as well.
And there’s a reason why “Fila” is called “Fila”.
Because shoes don’t sell as well if they’re called “Fail”.
The comeback started AND ended when Nos repped Fila Italiano’s
the six rings are hot but the other two are wack
jordan fusion
them ugly ass fusions specially the 3s fusions and the 12 fusions, them green beans sh*ts oh yeah… and them six rings
Rainbow VI’s just ruined one of the best shoes ever and the olympic VII made me vomit on site the new ones not the classics
2008 Worst Sneaker of the Year? IS………………………………………………………………………………………… Air Jordan XV Laser sorry but those are just plain ugly and if i buy them i would only buy them to make my jordan collection bigger
those 6 rings were wiggity wiggity wack…word to kriss kross LOL! but that color of the gourmets weren’t too far behind…..yo shout out to g roc….happy new year homie and to all my fellow sneaker fanatics….i will b posting that show me your collection video in the ‘09 so look out for it…shout out to my homie djck too
peace.
fux what ya heard the concord 6rings is money!! worst shoe of the year….YUMS!! and that’s real talk, them P.O.S. is a insult to the shoe game.
YUMS HANDS DOWN…..how anyone can even come at you with that crap is beyond me. Jordan Brand cost everyone here a ton of money and in reality they made us all look stupid….one nice kick made out of complete crap material, one kick so ugly people were giving them away……and yeah, I own alot of Madfoot kicks, but the De La’s and the black/red Supreme knock offs take it too far….
6 Rings, all fusions, and new sb’s
and YUMS!!!! fuck YUMS!!!!
tokyomike agreed with 1000000% yums have to be the gayest shoe i would rather wear male uggs than them
Fusions, six rings, 23s, all mid sb dunks, most af1s. 2008 was waist deep in shit. Will 2009 be any better? Not likely. So the worst of 08? Must be the six rings. Anyone who bought into the hype must feel be feeling pretty raped right about now. Sneaker shops can’t give these goddamn shoes away!!!
i like the 6 rings, they pretty hot if u ask me, the wackest kicks this year, idk theres alot, i mostly hated the fusions, mainly the scenery green fusion 3’s
I can’t hate on Gourmet Kicks. Because in a way they’re continuing what Jordan Brand once was, a premium quality company.
Im mainly into J’s so let me adress JB: The 15s were terrible, the six rings are super whack(weather people admit it or not, people just liked them because they resemble) the fusions should have never produced. As far as Filas,( they have have always sucked) however, I like really like the retro grant hills. Yums are trash (I have reason to believe they could have done better if they were promoted by someone else.) Gourmets…………STOP!!! If I had to pick one shoe for the worst, I’d have to say those South Pole Jordan knock offs that were posted on here earlier this year. ******Yo G-Roc, I know I post that often any more, but just to let you know, I still check the site 3/4 times a day, including first thing in the morning. Keep up all the good work and happy new years to you and all the down TSG’rs.
most sbs, xx3, 6 rings, and all fusions. But those wierd de la soul looking ones are definately the worst.
The worst shoe would have to be the soulja boy yums! The shoes are trash just like his music hahaha
soulja boy is better than tupac, LOL just playing, but the dude JUST got robbed yesterday, but can somone plz tell me
WHAT ARE THOSE DELASOUL RIP OFFS, ive never seen them in my life, and thank god for that
everything sucked!!
jk
but
flywires
6 rings
fusions all
many more
Jordan Brand. Just like Mike, stayed to long, time to hang em up.
fusions and the de la lows or what ever those are.
i have to say the yums line..
undefeated IV lol ur just dissing most of the releases this year..
G I’ll site…yums are soooi bad…any fusion really…ummm yea yumms make ms wanna take tums LOL
^^TCU those are MADFOOT’s….pretty popular in Japan…..created by a guy named Takashi Imai, who’s a huge Jordan fan….these De La’s dropped with some Supreme SB colored low tops (both colorways) and hit the clearance rack a week later….but truth be told, I wear alot of their hi tops that don’t look like a broke down knock off pair of SB’s/J’s…..
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO THE BRAND NEW WACK JORDAN BRAND AND THERE WACK MATERIAL….^ RINGS UGLLIEST SHOES ALIVE
i think the worst 08 release is the black/white jordan 1! and ny of the jordan fusions!!!!!!!!
The 6 Rings Was Dope….Worst SHoe Ever of “08″ Has to Be The Wack Ass Yums! The 1’s/22’s package was garbage so was the 13’s/10’s and the 14’s/9’s
WORST SHOE & WORST RAPPER IN 2008 & PERIOD is def the “YUMS” wtf type of shit is that……yo fuckin disgrace souja boi need 2 kill himself real talk….this fuckin guy
Hmmm in my opinon it has to be the yums and greedy genuis
As much as I hate Fusions and inspirations from Nike/JB, I can’t say that they were the worst. Yums are, no questions. Hideous, Not original and it’s supported by a dude that just got rob because he talk too much shit.
Fusions by fair, all of them
Happy New Year Everyone!!! Big 2009 Year, looking forward to graduating!!!
God Bless EVERYONE!
Worst sneaker of last year would be osirius. <— is that how you spell them? well thats how bad they are, a person cant even spell their name.
EZ SOUJA BOYZ YUMMS WERE THE WACKEST THING OUT THIS YEAR NEXT 2 THE SIX RINGS!!!!
wow those fake delasouls omggggggggggggggg and them soulja boy jums sneakers they garbage soulja boy has failed again
WORST SNEAKERS……..HANDS DOWN, HAD TO BE THE SOUTHPOLE (AJ11) KNOCK-OFFS………DISGUSTINGLY HORRIBLE!
^ Completely forgot about those. LMFAO. You right, those and YUMS. Even the name sound fruity…
Any JB fusion put out straight garbage!!! Yums, adidas, MADFOOT, and Fila. all wack. Mostly those 1 World Air Force 1 were good for original concepts
for mainstream sneakers the fusions where by far the worst
I wouldn’t say all fusions are garbage becuase the fusion V’s had really good quality, they don’t crease that much if worn lightly but for sure fusion XX’s, GARBAGE. Same with Madfoot, GARBAGE. But for sure the Worst Shoe of 2008 is…Fake Ass DeLa Lows.
fusion 3s
Mosquitos
Yums or Fusions
All of the non-original rip off concepts, please stand up… please get in a nice single file line… Southpole XI, let me get you up front since you were nice enough to grace a fkn magazine cover and all…. /lol

Everyone on here talking about yums. idf with them personally but if you go to footlocker (at least where i stay at) I would have to say that the failures are on the for sale rack. Sorry to say but yums aint on there, 6 rings are there, filas are there (besides grant hills) a few fusions also. So say what you want about the shoes (look like shit to me)!!! but the kid is moving units, and that’s in mens sizes too!!! IDK to many kids out there that wear a size 11 – 13, so what does that mean? Some of yall fools got them joints in ya closet right now! Don’t F front!!! LOL
I think yall have to add those ugly a$$ Supra Skytops.. Change is cool but do yall really think yall gonna wanna put those kicks on 2 years from now on one of those great sunny days that you wanna pull something xclusive outta the collection?? Nah i highly doubt it. Just cause it’s popular don’t make em’ Hott.. I’m sticking with the retro’s cause these new styles are garbage.
Lol chuck…he’s got a point…
*Borat Voice* very niiice lmao
FUSIONS ARE RAW 6 RINGS IS THE BEST
skytops ugly is the worst shoe ever
^^ Yo… I’m with CHUCK! Supra’s are going to be the biggest regret in less than 2 years… let alone ten! WORST for sure! The Jordan CDP 1/22 was HORRIBLE and lazy!
Worst:
JB 15 SE’s
20 Fusion lows
Gourmets
all fusions and six rings. worst shoes ever. i’d rather have payless shoes than those
I tried to read everyone’s comments (AND MAN WERE SOME FUNNY)… yet it seem like every one forgot about the SOUTHPOLE joints!!!! Man were those kicks ugly!!! OOOOhh and the whole L.A.GEAR line up straight garbage!!!!
yo who eves up top that said the lader XVs was the worst is right..sorry to say i got them they were the only things out n i had a hundred but worst purchase of my life shit i been tryna get rid of um but nobody would by them even for fifty
Didnt soulja boi get denied entrance to the miami dunkXchange a few weeks back???
OOOOO wait i was ther lmaoooo
Thanx j.ny & 4DRUMZ for re-assuring me that there are still people that don’t buy into the “Hype”. I mean if a sneaker is dope then it’s dope. But I think since popular entertainer’s wear them than that make’s them cool. I remember a few years back when everyone was rockin Trucker Hats. LOL C’mon.. Things come and go, and I can’t wait 4 the Supra’s to Go!!!
