Birdman and his shoewear line collaboration with Lugz has lasted for quite a while, but his latest release isn’t gaining any traction with consumers. After teasing the new boot designs earlier this month, fans have taken to blasting the Cash Money boss over his most recent look into the new release.
On March 9, Birdman posted an image of the new all-Black boots with the caption “Exclusive” along with the posting. On Sunday, (March 26), another posting of a tan version of the boots, which has racked up over a thousand comments since it was published, was replete with jabs at the design.
“Are you serious @birdman5star your favorite rapper/artist wouldn’t even wear these rejects lmfao congratulations you played yourself. Fucking hilarious,” said one comment. Another simply stated, “These gon be at the shelf at Sears.”
Even on Twitter, the boots are catching negative attention.
“WE NOT FINNA WEAR NO FUCKIN LUGZ,” tweeted @HitDaBoogiez. Another user replied to The Kid Mero’s tweet about Birdman’s deal adding, “[A]ctually lugz dropped birdman I’m in the footwear industry and met with lugz and jokingly asked when the birdman 11 was droppin,” which insinuated that Birdman is no longer with the company.
Birdman hasn’t responded to the chatter and a quick peek at Lugz’s website doesn’t indicate that the partnership has been voided. You can check out the boots in the photos below and some of the comments via Twitter.
No wonder companies ignore the black demographic. Most fickle, d*ck riding, trend hoping, no individuality having market in all of the country. No brand loyalty.
Tastemakers baby, Tastemakers…..
You crakkas copy everthing the black demo does from music to fashion . Blacks set all the trends . FOH who are you fooling . #Nobody
Black people are disloyal.. they don’t buy for a bargain or what they like, they buy to placate others and their opinions. Especially hip hop, embracing a trend is a death knell for a brand. Coach, Tommy, FUBU, Lugz…etc. blacks don’t set trends, they hop on them.
All the “foreigns” black speak of is definitely not aimed nor targeted to the black demographic: luxury auto makers and Italian luxury clothes, none of them have marketing where they show “urban blacks” using or wearing their stuff. Not saying it’s right or wrong, but that’s definitely how it is.
Ignore the black demographic? What type of drugs are you on?
Hennessy. They’re loyal to Hennessy.
Lugz are a hip hop past time. They have run their course. I don’t see how Lugz could ever connect with today’s fashion.
Cmon Stunna, these are probably the number 1 thing from the 90s, that need to be left in the 90s.
All of these idiots are either wayne attacking birdman or his dickriders bashing birdman based on lies wayne makes up about birdman.
Birdman…Slim? Is that one of you?
NICE BOOTS. HATERS MAD FOR WHATEVA REASON…YMCMB
“Neva rock Lugz, I’m way above” – Ghostface Killah

These boots are cheaply made and believe me your feet will be in pain after wearing lugz always look good but feel like crap on your feet
Dang those r some ugly fake looking timbs.
i care. said no one ever.
and shitchyea. i blast the fuck outta any n everything im a fan of. this some hot is cold or vice versa phase? words dont mean anything or actually even exist. just the matter fillin your occular cavities inside joke messages to brain.
They look ok to me not too much to argue about. But whoever said something about how they look if I buy a pair I would buy them cause I like them not cause what your opinion has to do with it
Yall rather spend your money on those racist ass tims though
yep
Racist how exactly? Care to elaborate with actual facts, Mr. Racial Conspiracy Theorist? FOH with your BS race card. If this were the case, might as well burn all of your clothing because 99.9% is made by caucasians. Not to mention, the luxury brands that you rap nerds brag about (i.e. Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, LV, etc.) are made by caucasians whether American, Italian or French they’re all caucasian, dummy.
There’s nothing racist about Timberlands, that was a stupid rumor in the ’90s, just like the fake rumor that the KKK made Troops
TF wrong with Polo boots? I wear them and Nike boots. I’ll never put tims on my feet
I’m not from here but I live here in Bham and I cosign. The shit dudes wear around here smh
here come the homo thug fives
You are right. We currently run around barefoot so these would be very luxurious for us.

I’ll pick my pair out the trash, thank you. Use me as flower vases.
