"Racist Shoes" by Adidas
 

And now the shoes too.


A new Adidas sneaker has sparked outrage, with sneaker fans accusing the brand of promoting racism. The Roundhouse Mid "Handcuff" shoe, created by controversial New York designer Jeremy Scott, features a plastic orange shackle that attaches to each ankle. The $350 sneakers hit stores in August, but Adidas promoted them on their official Facebook page on June 14 with this quote: "Tighten up your style with the JS Roundhouse Mids, dropping in August.

wtf?? Let's make being locked up cool.

Funniest shit, considering the roll the black community play in Adidas sales.

After reading about it a little it's obvious people are just twisting the designers intentions.

But with artists you never know their intentions ;) Some of those idiots always trying to make a political message.

$350.00!?!? Outrageous for Adidas, even Jordans don't go for that much.

The Germans are coming.

That's a really good looking sneaker too.

They killed the shoe http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-w...didas-sneaker/
If any of these get leaked they will be worth a retarded amount of money now.

The story about the shoe and a picture of the toy.

LOL @ Everything being about black people

these rock
ds

lololololol

the shoe is cancelled

How is that 'racist'?

its not :2 cents:

More like slave to consumerism rather than harkening back to the days of slavery. First thing I thought of was My Pet Monster.

if they were chained together may be.

350 bucks for that crap?!

I got myself those for 270, and they're gonna last 3 times longer, not to mention having a decent look.

I bet black folks didn't find it racist. Just white guilt filled liberal pinko commies..

You sure about that Jamal?

Freaking cool

those things are ugly

Shackles = confinement against ones will.
Not all confinement = racism.

The real crime is asking so much money for such a thing.
And saying things "drop" when you mean they will be available on a date should bring a fine. :winkwink:

bingo...




Only people wh think of blacks as being slaves would think that is racist...




.

Those are fucking horrible even without the "shackles"... :2 cents:

Agree, they are just ugly no matter what.

You are joking, right?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh
Hilarious.

Creative but ugly.

A.D.I.D.A.S.

A Dog Is Doing A Shit

buhahaha., i lold so hard.,

I want a pair! Like now!

Any chance you get a free watermelon with your shoes?

:1orglaugh

That's where the sagged pants trend started, it was a way to tell other inmates you are available. Now all the ignorant kids are sagging.

Prison will always have a cool factor.

I like the second pair though, chrome with wings, I roll those.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

would those shackles not serve a purpose.. to keep people from stealing them off you? I mean besides the bad looks.

I thought it would be clever as a marketing ploy for the shackles to be a part of the packaging, and when you put on this Adidas shoe, you are "unshackled".

Or given the colors of the shoe, it could be the Lakers "un-Shaq-led" (okay, I admit that one was a stretch - but hey, I found a picture to match).

:stoned

ADG

I bet all the chicks would dig it

heil adidas!

Ahh I see they already stopped production :1orglaugh

Yeah, those ar sooooooooooo much better looking. :eek7:eek7

a little early for the christmas pageant bravestar

the shoes look cool without the cuffs tho...

why is this racist?

just stupid

the media made it that way. :2 cents: in the 80's or 90's people wore prison gear. It was part of a clothing line.

Its so the black peoples can buy them and their jealous black friends wont be able to easily steal them to sell for crack...

No, but you do get a bucket of chicken wings..

Note to self.

Jeremy Scott designs ugly footwear.
