The Internet has made us all haters (or at least that's what we tell ourselves). Whether it's the media making a big deal out of nothing, consumers not really understanding new technology and design elements, or just old-ass sneakerheads that are stuck in their ways, sneakers get hated on daily. So instead of dishing up any hatred of our own today, we decided to step back and take a broader look at some of the sneakers that, at one point or another, got a bad rap. Check out 25 Sneakers That Were Unfairly Hated On and let us know which ones you hated on (it's cool, we might have been doing the same).
