words // Zac Dubasik
As sneaker fans, we often remember what was on the feet of players during their greatest moments. Some sneakers even take on nicknames based on those moments, like the Last Shot XIVs, or Flu Game XIIs. This list however is not about those great moments. It's about the shoes that were on the feet of players during some not-so-great moments. Cedric The Entertainer once declared himself "a cheerleader for foolishness," and I can't think of better way to describe myself. So, without further ado, here are my favorite low-lights of the year, and the shoes they happened in.
