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.
