Hilariously-Horrible Shoes Endorsed By Rappers
Partnerships between shoe companies and popular rappers SEEM like a great idea until the signature shoe drops and we’re left completely dumbfounded, wondering how globally-known trendsetters could promote (and design) shoes so hideous, un-swaggy or forgettable.
Hit the jump for the worst rapper-endorsed shoes of all-time.
Kanye West – Adidas 750 Boost
Yeezy’s new Legend of Zelda-inspired shoe was clearly made for non-Earthlings because very few people on THIS planet (other than hypebeasts and stans) would spend $250 on these…things.
Jay Z – Reebok S. Carter Collection
Reebok really believed Rap fans would flock to buy these clunky male nurse kicks? Nope.
Birdman – Lugz
This is what terrible ideas that should never happen look like.
50 Cent – Reebok’s G-Unit collection
50’s greatest achievement is somehow convincing millions of people to proudly wear these in public.
Master P – Converse’ No Limit collection
No one would ever admit to wearing these in 2015 (but many did).
Lil Wayne – Supra
If Weezy’s goal was to make skater kicks popular in the hood, he failed miserably. No one in Holly Grove rocked these.
Nelly – Reebok
We don’t know how much Reebok paid Nelly to promote these hideous “things” but we know it wasn’t enough.
Nas – Reebok Signature series
Legendary rapper with an equally legendary shoe (that’s only legendary for being terrible).
Rick Ross – Pony
One glance at these and it’s clear why they were scrapped by Pony.
Snoop Dogg – Pony
Doggy Biscuitz? These were destined to fail.
The Game – 310 Hurricanes
Look into Game’s eyes. He knew.
Hurricane Chris – Fila
That one time Fila shamelessly ripped off Prada’s design for a signature shoe promoted by Hurricane Chris…yea, this really happened.
Soulja Boy – Yums
Right now, there are hundreds of homeless dudes in Atlanta rocking these childish shoes.
Xzibit – DaDa Spinners
Name one good reason these should’ve happened (or been worn by anyone)? You can’t.
Tyga – Reebok
Like Tyga’s Rap career, these forgettable kicks didn’t quite curl over and were widely ignored.
B.o.B. – Adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott
Rapper not named Andre 3000 + colorfully winged shoes? Bad move.
Swizz Beatz – Reebok Kamikaze series
Stick to beats, Swizz.
Daddy Yankee – Reebok’s DY series
The Reggaeton star had his own signature shoe? At this point, these never happened.
