Why are all "hyped" sneakers so garbage lately? Pic related.

2019's meme theme is "deconstructed" older models like pic related and Martine Rose Monarchs, as popularized by Virgil in his Nike collabs. So if you don't like the idea of that then you'll obviously hate anything that comes out this year

Tastes change. I'm just upset adidas and reebok don't release their retro basketball shoes on the regular, fucking ultraboosts...

Adidas is just trash at promoting their lifestyle models, they're oversaturating their casual shoe lineup with throwaway colorways of ultraboosts and Yeezys and not pushing actual worthwhile collabs like pic related

Well they've actually gotten better at showing love with consortium but they really should just stick to originals.
>>14382831
I find the blue ones look better, but just barely. The fake colorways of these look better.

one of the ugliest sneakers I have ever seen. Makeup foundation upper and a midsole that looks like polystyrene foam

It's been a nice change of pace not having to chase releases though, especially after the last few years.
>>14382817
Nah I posted them there, this is another dude. Granted, lighting was shit but they're aging pretty nicely. Can finally wear em again now that it's not constantly raining where I'm at.

Upper doesn't look like that for long, it's veg tan. Can understand the hate for boost, but it always looks more uniform in person than in photos.

Marketing campaigns dictate hype

They know which sneakers are generally unsellable due to looks so they market unsellable shoes that attract attention to the hype crowd.

That's why when you pick up a pair of yeezys they seem to be built less good than some $30 cloudfoam

Veg tan won't be even close to a good color before the boost looks like dirty snow

Nigger what are you on about? Cloudfoams feel like cheap garbage and construction wise it's the same or worse than the mainlines

Pretty simple - because when they're worn they're for status and are designed to be flashy as possible

But most of the time they're stored away for "collections" so they need to be as flashy as possible for marketing purposes. If they released a bunch of minimalist shoes, capitalist sneaker fags wouldn't be attracted to anything
