I dunno. Not my favorite dunk of all time, but certainly not the worst. I do view it as better than the high though just because the materials are infinitely better in comparison.
I think if this were a different collab, and didn't have the diamond name attached, then people would feel differently. I don't see it that different from other black and silver dunks like the Quartersnacks or SOMPs. Neither of those are "exciting", but they're loved for different reasons.
I think the panda pigeon is the worst collab in the last couple of years...but that might just be me. Even worse than the various Black Sheep collabs

I'm not a fan of the pigeon dunks but at least they put some thought into those with the materials and details. Same with the Quarternsacks, simple but lots of details. The black diamonds look like it took them 5 minutes to decide what to do.

I'll play devil's advocate--
I didn't /love/ the new DSC collab, but there were only so many ways Nicky could take them. We had OG lows, then the 2006 un-Tiffany non-SB lows, then highs...the materials on the blacks were solid enough (I haven't seen whites or canaries in hand), they were muted enough to be every day casually wearable, you can rock 'em with or without the Swoosh, rock the Swoosh upside down (please don't actually do this), etc.
They weren't groundbreaking or anything, but I definitely don't think they're the worst collab ever, nor do I think they'd be outlet-bound without the DSC affiliation.
blacks still look like ripoff SPoT lows though

Disagree with the highlighted part. Off the top of my head I can think of a few iterations that IMO would look better.
OG lows but flip the black leather to white.
Fully metallic paint that strips away (except the swoosh) to reveal the OG.
High with tiffany panels, white toe box, silver swoosh. Would look similar to Sea Crystals.
I'm no pro or a designer, (my ideas might not be any better, I'll let you all decide), but these guys phoned it in for this one.

Maybe a 2016 QS/GR without the DSC affiliation--I was strictly speaking in today's SB climate.
And Fish Ladders /definitely/ take the title for worst collab ever (sorry

I'm not sure if you were only looking to include worst, but I can't help but notice you forgot Supreme. As far as dunks go, the three lows and three highs, plus the non-SB F&F santa joints and sample red/white/orange lows with the Nike print in place of stars.
