Welcome to another edition of The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly<\/em>. This week, we cover many spectrums of the sneaker culture. Check to see what sneakers made the respective categories and sound off below if you agree or disagree.<\/p>\n

The Good: Creative Customs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking a popular Jordan motif and placing it on a pair of Vans may seem like a misstep, but JP proves that logic wrong. It’s great to see other sneakers besides Nike silhouettes used as a canvas for custom sneakers. Hopefully we can see more original designs\/ideas in the near future.<\/p>\n

\nThe Bad: Too Much New York?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, New York is the most populous city in the U.S., and the Knicks are actually good this season, but is there too much of a New York vibe in sneakers? Brands should release city exclusives and use other great places as influences. For example, Reebok could make a Baton Rouge Shaq Attaq or Jordan Brand could make a Hillcrest Air Jordan XX8 for Ray Allen.<\/p>\n

\nThe Ugly: Black Grapes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If this Air Jordan 5’s black upper was leather instead of suede, would it be more appealing? Everyone loves the “Grapes,” but time will tell if a black rendition was warranted or simply overkill.<\/p>\n

\nThe Bad: Too much New York?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay, New York is the biggest city in the US. Okay, the Knicks are actually good but is there too much of a New York vibe in sneakers? Brands should release city exclusives and use other great places as influences. For example, if Reebok made a Baton Rouge Shaq Attaq or if Jordan Brand made a Hillcrest Air Jordan XX8 for Ray Allen.

This sneaker would look a million times better if it was leather instead of suede on the upper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":292569,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1225672],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe Good, the Bad & the Ugly | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"What sneakers made in this week's The Good, The Bad, The Ugly?
