Fugly is a wonderful word that combines the emotive power of an expletive and the strong affirmative of a noun.
This shoe by Raf Simons x Adidas is fugly.
It looks like a fashionable boot for Frankenstein before he descends down the castle to terrorize the unsuspecting townspeople below.
Several things make this boot, sneaker, ice hockey shoe meets track and field sneaker a fugly piece of footwear.
1. The shape is boxy and blunt with no foreseeable function.
2. It's supposed to be a winter boot; but the product description never mentions insulation.
3. The price of $1,280 for a piece of molded rubber that looks as good as porto-potty at the end of a music festival is just dumb.
YES
You will see this at an Adidas outlet store in the near future.
NO
I don't think Raf Simons is pulling a joke on the fashion world.
MAYBE
You have a club foot like Oedipus. Well, have I got a shoe for you.
