    "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.

        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.

                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 Roundhouse Mid was inspired by a furry toy called My Pet Monster. "My work has always been inspired by cartoons, toys & my childhood," Scott said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.
                The story about the shoe and a picture of the toy.

                LOL @ Everything being about black people

                The shoe is even the same colors as the toy.

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

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

                                              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.

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

                                                      You are joking, right?

                                                                              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).
