Kyle Kuzma finally started working on his signature shoe and he recently shared the results with fans. The Los Angeles Lakers signed a multi-year deal with the giant shoe company last season and the expectations were high for this partnership. Well, Kuz and the company revealed the design of their first shoe together and it was nothing as expected.

Fans weren’t having the design and they went after Kuz for making that ugly design in some shoes that look for boxers. NBA Twitter, true to its style, was merciless on Kuz, attacking the player with memes and many jokes for his ‘bad taste.’

Kuz was the subject of criticism during the bubble due to his bad performances with the Lakers. That hasn’t changed a little now that he’s an NBA champion. It seems like he can’t catch a break but it’s hard not to side with fans on this one.
