Whilst everyone is busy compiling their “best of 2021” lists, from the year’s top Jordan releases to the best new designs from 2021, in true satirical form, Sockjighas gone the other way. While the Oscars have the Razzies to keep the balance, the blogs have Sockjig’s “Lame List” — inclusive of the Top 15 Worst Pacer of 2021.
