【Busty Lifeguards (2010)】

In what has shaped up to be Busty Lifeguards (2010)one of the worst team-ups since somebody covered a pizza in vile, disgusting Peeps, Sega and Puma have partnered up to create two new pairs of sneakers modeled after Sonic the Hedgehog and his villainous counterpart Dr. Eggman.

These kicks are nothing short of a disaster.

For $130 apiece, the Sonic and Eggman shoes are meant to resemble the speedy blue hedgehog and rotund, red-clad scientist. While the two characters are nothing short of iconic, the sneakers don't really resemble anything that anyone with any sense of style would wear in public.

First, let's take a look at the Sonic shoes, known as the PUMA x SEGA RS-0 Sonics.

The blue suede that covers the majority of the sneaker is textured to resemble the "fur" that covers Sonic the Hedgehog. The green and yellow accents are inspired by the first level from Sonic the Hedgehog, Green Hill Zone.

While that's a neat little throwback, it's not exactly aesthetically pleasing.

Now let's move onto the other pair, the PUMA x SEGA RS-0 Dr. Eggmans.

These sneakers are undeniably red and shockingly shiny. If they weren't accented by the black and yellow caution stripes they wouldn't be quite so egregious but they really just throw these shoes right over the edge.

I will concede that the fat little Eggman inside the shoe is pretty cool though.

These sneakers aren't great. They aren't so awful that they should be thrown into a garbage pit but only the most diehard Sonic fans could justify dropping 130 bones on these.

The new Puma sneakers drop on June 5.
