The Nike Air Mags, though not the prettiest shoe, represent a sort of nostalgic geek beauty. These Google designed Nike Dunks though? Just plain fugly. Even the geekiest, worst-dressed Googler would never be caught dead in these.
Sure, I get that it’s a complete gag gift of a shoe but still! Larry freaking Page’s mug is on the tongue for god’s sake! They use the old hilarious Google logo complete with the exclamation point. And is that Google Maps underneath the Swoosh? Just what the hell is going on here.
According to SneakerFiles, the sneakers were designed by Evan Steinberg, Google Community Manager for Android and signed by Larry Page. Are we sure it wasn’t Steinberg’s niece or nephew who made these? Google, you were looking really nice just a few months ago, don’t fall back into the dark ages! You’ve come so far. [Evan Steinberg+]
This article is proof Casey Chan could recognize humor if it hit him will a shovel. Either that or he just wanted to publish a Google bashing article.
These were designed by someone at Google, using the NikeID customization store, they are not a Google product.
Please Giz UK, can we have a little bit of quality control over what you get down the pipe for the mothership.
oops, Could in the first sentence should be couldn’t. Looks like I could do with some quality control too.
Every Casey post I see is him slagging something of or airing his views (this is the man who did the ‘I HATE SMOKING YOU WILL ALL DIE OF RADIATION’ and another post which I cannot remember atm)
Couldn’t agree more. I was hoping Giz UK would try and concentrate on the tech, rather than the tabloid, over hyped, reactionary guff that fills 75% of the US site.
If I see another Jesus “This is the most mind blowing in the world everr!!!1111>” Diaz, Age 9 and a half, I think I will scream!
Ahh, my funny little list of things seems to have been removed by the left and right arrows I used! Poo!
Yes, This shouty, flashy, hyped up stuff may be suitable for our colonial cousins, but Dammit Giz UK, We’re British. We Invented Cricket, a game that lasts 5 days, in which nothing much happens and which is frequently decided by the weather.
Giz us opinion pieces, but for the love of all that is holy let them be of a higher level then “ner, ner ner, ner, ner, Google smells”
Hear hear, couldn’t have put it better myself. Have a like
I would wear them for the original logo and the photo on the tongue.
I like them, they’d be cracking with a good pair of dungarees
