Wow that's Fugly

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.
