so ugly... really

and did nike pay them for that deal or did they pay nike?

If you look close at the black one it has the lettering from the Honky release.

I like those shanghais.

[Vcavallo]

those black ones aren't so bad.  i think i need them.  i would like to know the full story behind them.  it doesn't make sense for either party.  
nike is not going to make a lot of money selling shoes that say "melvins" on them to anyone.
the melvins aren't going to get any recognition from advertising their band on a shoe because nobody is going to buy them
what is going on here.  

even popular bands like...slipknot and metallica don't have basketball shoes.  this is such a mind-fuck.

What the hell? I agree with TosT, those are ugly. Fugly. I can't imagine the average Nike wearer or Melvins fan liking those. I'm guessing a bunch of those will pop up in 10 years on ebay as "dead stock" unsold items.

This band, Panthers opened for Big Buisness and Pelican last week. The lead singer had on some Vans-style shoes that had the Misfits skull logo on them in a big black on white print. Those looked pretty cool I thought.

I would have preffered they put out those boots that buzz usally wears with "Melvins" written on it.

Doesn't he usually wear Dr. Martins on stage? That's what the boots I see him wearing look like. I guess the gum sole helps cushion his feet when he stomps all night long.
