    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..

  3. c brown says:

  6. 50yen says:

    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

  9. jmoore says:

    any fusion

  10. jesusg23 says:

    the six rings olympic. and the six rings just in general

  11. jesusg23 says:

    Best shoe of 09′?? The AIR YEEZYS

  12. equis says:

    namebrands 6rings and xx fusions.

    o yea can you add the spx footwear. that just showed on a couple sites.

  13. UsweatMYkicks says:

    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

  14. equis says:

    Jesusg23…thats if they do come out…

  15. sole4sole says:

    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.

  16. GATOR904 says:

    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!!!!!!!!!!

  17. j.ny says:

    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!!!

  18. FoFo says:

    evrytime i walked thru the mall and saw those wanna b 7s Filas i burst out laughin. so that has to be it.

  19. TruThug4Lyfe says:

    ALL FUSIONS… the 6 rings is a runner up, along with the Jordan 2.5 Pretty much all the mutant Jordans produced this year.

  20. obrock says:

    all the fusions wack. them ugly funks up there and them frauda’s they got out…

  21. Roc4life223 says:

    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!!!!

  22. -sci- says:

    FUSIONS too many and too many colorways and YUMS def ugly

  23. bra says:

    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

  24. SETone says:

    the jordan skate shoes
    haha and all the fusions

  25. AF1_G33K says:

    Everything that Jordan released that is NOT a Retro.

  26. frank says:

    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.

  27. frank says:

    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

  28. SneakGeekz says:

    the six rings are hot but the other two are wack

  29. A.I. says:

    jordan fusion

  30. 732bred says:

    them ugly ass fusions specially the 3s fusions and the 12 fusions, them green beans sh*ts oh yeah… and them six rings

  31. Bubba says:

    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

  32. SneakGeekz says:

    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

  33. jupeezy says:

    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.

  34. Ether says:

    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.

  35. TokyoMike says:

    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….

  36. Murder4Kickz says:

    6 Rings, all fusions, and new sb’s

  37. Murder4Kickz says:

    and YUMS!!!! fuck YUMS!!!!

  38. KR3W x NKE SB says:

    tokyomike agreed with 1000000% yums have to be the gayest shoe i would rather wear male uggs than them

  39. macabrecrown666 says:

    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!!!

  40. g-man says:

    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

  41. Scotty Rock says:

    I can’t hate on Gourmet Kicks. Because in a way they’re continuing what Jordan Brand once was, a premium quality company.

  42. hyphyJlover says:

    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.

  43. undefeatedIV says:

    most sbs, xx3, 6 rings, and all fusions. But those wierd de la soul looking ones are definately the worst.

  44. Sneakerhead says:

    The worst shoe would have to be the soulja boy yums! The shoes are trash just like his music hahaha

  45. TorontoComeUp says:

    soulja boy is better than tupac, LOL just playing, but the dude JUST got robbed yesterday, but can somone plz tell me
