<\/a>Sometimes, things just don’t go as planned – especially in the world of sports. When sh*t happens in the world of sports, sometimes, the stench carries over into the world of sneakers.<\/p>\n

Trades, injuries, and shortcomings and mishaps on and off the court can be costly to the brands that jump on the hottest players bandwagon. Take a look at six times the unforeseeable happened, and really messed things up for sneaker companies.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

6) Reebok loses endorsees<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Reebok Omni Hex Ride has somewhat of a curse attached to it. To introduce Reebok’s newest cushioning technology, they worked up 7 pairs of PE’s made available to the public. Allen Iverson’s trade to the Pistons knocked out 2 of the 7, but another 2 colorways became irrelevant due to Reebok losing Rajon Rondo and Baron Davis. Rajon Rondo of the NBA Champs Boston Celtics left Reebok for Nike over the summer, but Baron Davis’ story is a tad bit funnier. Not only did Baron Davis make the move down south to the Clipps from Golden State, but to add even more insult to injury, Davis ditched Reebok for Li Ning…ouch!<\/p>\n

5) Allen Iverson traded for Chauncey Billups<\/strong><\/p>\n

If sneakerheads wonder why there aren’t more PE’s made for retail, this early season trade should explain why. Allen Iverson had some special edition Reebok Omni Hex Rides worked up in Nuggets colorways and his AI logo that made it to retail in both home and away colorups. Chauncey Billups, on Team Adidas, had some “Mr. Big Shot” Pistons colorway TS Creators that were made available to the public, but he only got to wear them for 4 games before the trade was made<\/span>. Apparently he is still rockin’ them in the mis-matching Mile High city.\n<\/p>\n

4) Carmelo Anthony un-All Star Melo 5.5 <\/strong>
\nJordan Brand had made a strong signing with a young Carmelo Anthony who came into the league fresh off a freshman year NCAA Championship with Syracuse. Unfortunately for Carmelo and Nike, the new star was drafted by the Nuggets in the Western Conference stacked with talent. Jordan worked up an All Star colorway for Carmelo to wear in the 2006 NBA All Star Game, but unfortunately, Melo didn’t make the cut.<\/p>\n

3) Charles Barkley CB34 2<\/strong>
\nThe Round Mound of Rebounds bounced from Phoenix to Western Conference rival Houston Rockets who grabbed two rings in two consecutive years. The problem however was that at the time of the move, Nike had already produced a number of Nike CB 34 2’s in Phoenix Suns colors complete with a 34 stamped on the side of the product to match Barkley’s jersey. Unlucky for Nike, and Chuck, someone else with some seniority named Hakeem the Dream already had dibs on that number as well as kicks that sported the number too.<\/p>\n

2) Adidas T-Mac 3.5 Olympic<\/strong>
\nTracy McGrady never disappointed adidas making his way to the All Star Game on a regular basis while sporting the three stripes. Adidas worked up a special edition Adidas T-Mac 3.5 with his Team USA jersey number and everything when he went to play in Athens right? T-Mac was fortunate to not be on the team that got embarrassed in the summer of 2004, but many sales people had a hard time explaining why there was an Olympic shoe for someone who wasn’t in the Olympics.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

1) Adidas Gil II Zero<\/strong>
\nAdidas teamed up with superstar Gilbert Arenas for the Gil II Zero for the 2007-2008 season. Originally Arenas wanted a unique colorway for all 82 games. Adidas settled for less than that and they are probably thankful they didn’t go for all 82, as Arenas only played in 13 games during the season, which would have been a made promoting all 82 sneakers a little difficult, had they gone forward with the entire project.<\/p>\n
