The Ugliest Sneakers of 2007

What Were These Brands Thinking?

By , About.com Guide

Let's face it, some sneakers should have never made it out of production and into the stores. Adidas takes home the cake for creating the ugliest sneakers of 2007! See why right here.

1. Adidas Metro Attitude

Adidas introduced the “Something For The Ladies” pack last fall and so far all the positive reviews have come from men. As a woman, I think these are an insult to ladies and their flair for style. I don't know a single woman that will sport these gaudy kicks! Featuring massive chunky soles and a bright pattern of cheesy flowers blotched all over the place, the Metro Attitude gravely underestimates what women really want.

2. Adidas Crazy 8 Kobe Bryant Multi

Does anybody know if Kobe Bryant actually gets to see the shoes put out in his name before they head out the door? I know there is some kind of approval stage after he gets his check, but could he have seriously said yes to these? If so, then I will admit, I would love to meet the guy to pick his mind and share some good times!

3. Adidas Top Ten Lo Oddity

It seems like the folks at Adidas were experimenting with many color combinations in order to find the right formula for increased sales. Sadly, they failed. Their whole series looks like it was designed by elephants. However, if you do check out the top 10 styles for women, there is one color combo that made the list. So one elephant certainly does deserve a peanut.

4. Paul Rodriguez Zoom Air Elite

Paul Rodriguez and Kobe have a lot in common when it comes to styling and splashing colors on kicks. None of them should be doing it. Instead they should keep their focus on the sports they both do so well. The first thing I think I see when I look at these sneakers is a Nintendo console. Nothing on the shoe makes any sense or carries any aesthetic value whatsoever.
