2006 Recap - Part 5 - Most Overrated Shoes

Shoes that everyone in the world was hyped over that didn't phase me...

#5 - Nike Sb 3 Bears Pack















While technically 3 pairs they all suck so they get only one spot. Everyone was fiendin on these but to me they were really really lame. The colors weren't good, the quality sucked and fur?? Come on now. These just sucked a lot.

#4 - Invisible Woman AF1















Clear toes were cool when the Espo AF2 dropped in crazy limited numbers, but now it's getting played out. With this release (also in a purple colorway) fakers were in a frenzy! There were clear toe AF1s in every single colorway as well as in Jordan 7s. Awful just awful. The AF1 doesn't fit right to have the clear toe as well, but that's just me.

#3 - Dunk SB Day of the Dead














I know I put these in my pick ups of the year, but that was because of the crazy hype on the shoes and the fact that I got so much out of going to the store to pick them up. The quality on them is shit and they aren't that nice of a design either. The colors are nice and the idea is good, but still there was waaaay too much hype on these. Like over 100 pages of comments about them on ISS months before they even dropped.

#2 - Jordan Dunk Lows














Again with ruining the classics. Take a great shoe, with a great colorway, put that colorway on another great shoe and you've wrecked both of them. I know there were 3 colorways in this and they all sucked, but this was the worst. The fake pre-yellowed sole just added to the brutalness of these shoes. Everyone I know loved these, and I see soo many of these shoes on feet on a day to day basis, it's horrible.

#1 - Air Jordan Defining Moments Pack














Good idea to bring these out in a dope pack, but they butchered classics!!! The VIs with the jumpman and the gold 23 just looks shitty and the concords with gold and blue sole?? Destroyed the classics!! They were crazy limited and far too expensive for what they were and people just went crazy for them because they had an XI in them even though it wasn't a nice one. Sold out in 2 seconds and went for almost double on ebay. Hype is a bad bad thing, but in this case... who cares? They still sucked.
