GBX Creates World’s Ugliest Shoes

I like my sneakers loud, right? I figure if you’re going to wear some high tops, make them look hot. GBX has taken this concept to its tragic extreme in an exercise in design literalism that squirts the words “RADIOACTIVE” and “DANGER” across the sides of these shoes. The blue ones look like they were designed by a PC case modder doing a tribute to Fallout.
Worse, GBX was so sure they had a hit design on their hands, they put together five different color packages. (Three of which are shown here.) I’d warn you never to wear these, but since you’re obviously capable of reading, you’ll be impervious to any appeal this shoes might have to the illiterate. Look, duders, my shoes have words!
Oh god, they say “Rescue Brooklyn” on the tongue. Get fucked, GBX.
