11.12.09 THE NEW AIR JORDANS SUCK
It’s hard to believe that it was some 20 years ago when Michael Jordan was still tearing up the NBA and everyone in high school couldn’t wait for the latest Air Jordan basketball shoes to come out. Well, here’s the latest model, the Air Jordan 2010, and these things couldn’t be any uglier if they were made out of Seattle Seahawks.
The most obvious distinction is a massive transparent window through the middle of the shoe as a representation of Michael Jordan’s on-court prowess of “seeing through opponents”. The shoe’s collar is also cut disproportionately with the medial side being higher up. –Hypebeast
This is the 25th edition of Jordan’s custom kicks…and this seems like a pretty good place to stop. Well 2003–the last year Jordan ever wore an NBA uniform–would have worked, also, but seriously, this shoe looks like the brains at Nike created this shoe on a dare. Did you catch Jordan’s Hall of Fame speech? Didn’t he come off like a total asshole? Well get this…we put a big black asshole IN THE SHOE! And then they probably high-fived and whipped a few Indonesian children after that.

What an ugly shoe!
/laces up tribal-inspired early 90’s Mutombos
Isn’t the tongue ’sposed to stick out more?
No Jordans will ever top the 1994 grey and reds for me…
/yes…I wore them with my prom dress, I was that girl.
I think those shoes could do a better job running the Charlotte Bobcats than Jordan could.
My fav’s were the Jordan IX. Had the black on black with the red emblems…the chochiest 13 year old on the court. I can’t believe I convinced my parents to waste $200 on sneakers.
For my money the ugliest shoes ever were the “Air Worms”, Dennis Rodman’s Nikes from the mid ’90’s. I was the laughing stock of middle school.

Is that a zipper Dimpie? Jesus!
I know it was pretty bad, Biggie. But hey, who didn’t like Rodman back then.
Would be better if Steve Harvey was modeling them.
New Jordans will always be a hit…but idk about these…only time can tell I guess
