Triumvir3 Custom Dunks

I saw these custom Dunks and was thinking, yes they are ugly, but not ugly enough or interesting enough to pass on. it has purple camouflage that will only hide you in a forest designed by Sid and Marty Kroft. Then I saw...



THIS
MATCHING ROBOT!
Holy-moly shit folks. Dear people who make ugly custom sneakers, Triumvir3 has raised the bar. now you need to make a matching gundam robot model. What really amazes me is that the pattern which looks ridiculous on a pair of basketball shoes, but on a robot it completely makes sense. I guess the reason is that if a 40 story fighting robot with 100 foot long riffle showed up it gets it's way. Who are you to question a giant robot's preference for paisley contracting with argyle?

Since you've been gone

I'm back from Vermont and back in the blogging chair. Two big things happened during my hiatus.

First the fine people at Sports by Brooks linked to me. They also wrote a nice blurb about my ugly blog. I would like to Welcome you all.
Secondly the hit HBO show Entourage had a new episode about an ugly pair of limited edition kicks. several people emailed me about this.


These are the one ofs made for "turtle" by Fukijama who is actually a real artist/sneaker customizer.

These are the shoes that were allegedly limited to 200, but in reality they only made this one pair. I happen to like these the texture of the leather is nice and the laser etching isn't gratuitous. Other than that the world already has way too many AF1s. A while back I blogged about a pair of custom pair of AF1s Fukijama made as a prize for the Sole Collector contest out west. They featured paisley satin lining. The entourage shoes really can't compete with that level of ugliness.


If anyone else links to me I will link back to you cause that's how I was raised.

AF1s you can't refuse


These are a custom pair of AF1s made from horse and lined with satin. They don't have a nickname yet so I will start calling these Elmers.

Magnetic Shoes



Check out these custom magnetic shoes based on the Marvel super villain Magneto. As people are running out of ways to make their sneakers ugly the only logical step is to make them more like action figures.

White Elephant


The Sole Collector sneaker collection competition just wrapped up in Vegas and the winner was awarded this pair of disgusting shoes. The Nike AF1s feature candy orange patent leather and paisley satin lining. Once I was sad because I had no shoes. Then I met a man that won a pair of shoes for having the greatest sneaker collection in all of Las Vegas.
