Hybrids we hope not to see…
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Oct 10, 2008
Hybrids started rolling out of stockrooms just about the same time that dealerships were rolling Prius’ onto the showroom floor. Some hybrid sneakers have been better than others with borrowed features from different models, however something of a recent trend have been hybrids that carry a theme from a signature series with final products that may leave some consumers scratching their heads.
Next year we will see the release of the Fun Police mashup Zoom FP, Penny 1/2 Cent, as well as the Air Tech Challenge Hybrid that borrows designs and colors from some of Agassi’s best shoes.
Hopefully, this trend has limits and lines that will not be crossed, but hoping that a few in Beaverton will take some notes, we have assembled a list of hybrid sneakers we hope to not see on the market - ever.
Check the list after the break as well as the hints of how we got the names. What are your thoughts about the all of the hybrids that are coming out?

I LIKE THE TURRIBLE’S, NICE PLAY ON BARKLEY’S COLOR COMMENTARY.

THE LEBRONS ARE ACTUALLY NICE!
Mar 23, 2009 at 4:15 pm
The Lebrons are kinda sick. Not all Jordan hybrids are bad. I thought the Jordan Six Rings was pretty decent. If LeBron actually won championships those season, LeBron could call that the “LeBron three rings and I’m not even 30 years old yet” shoe.

The Lebrons are ill. Id pick em up if they were released. everything else can hit the trash can.
Oct 11, 2008 at 12:39 am
Hehe, looks like one of those sneakers 400 years from now
Oct 11, 2008 at 12:14 am
I think I would’nt mind those Turribles so much, but the rest of em INCLUDING the drawing board should be burned like they were at disco demolition!
Oct 11, 2008 at 12:09 am
Sop it Nice Kicks, stop it before you give em any more ideas!!!
Oct 10, 2008 at 11:03 pm
like a few people ahead of me said, those lebron and barkley hybrids aren’t that bad. the lebrons are actually pretty nice. i wouldnt have a problem with them releasing those. JORDAN BRAND is the one who need to cut that fusion SH*T out!
Oct 10, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Those Lebrons are HoT, someone needs to get Nike on that one.
Oct 10, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Wait…I like the Air Force Turrible! lol
Oct 10, 2008 at 9:29 pm

Oct 10, 2008 at 8:56 pm
LMAO @ the NAF TURRIBLE!
Oct 10, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I’ll ball in the lebrons, but other than that the other shoes need to be burned!!!
Oct 10, 2008 at 8:41 pm
