What the fuck happened to these Adidas sandal things?


What are we looking at here? What's going on in the region above this text? Apparently, adidas has just completely lost it, and has produced one of the most hideous pieces of footwear in history.


Fashion designer Jeremy Scott--who somehow gets to have "fashion" in his title despite being responsible for the above footwear--was picked by adidas to come up with a sandal-cum-hiking boot for its Originals collection. The Gentleman's Handbook has one very strict rule concerning sandals: Outside of flip-flops on a tropical beach, they are not to be worn. Creating some sort of vile, Alien: Resurrection style halfbreed with a hiking boot doesn't give sandals a, "oh, they're inspired by Roman gladiators" pass. Shut the fuck up with that. You sound dumb. And you'll look dumb if you stand too close to these things.



They seriously look like they were bred in a lab, only to be deemed unfit to be worn, and left to suffer in a roomful of genetic rejects, pitifully mumbling, "kill.... kill me... please..." before Sigourney Weaver kicks in the door and burns them to death with a flamethrower. Only the cost 220 dollars.
