"Racist Shoes" by Adidas - GoFuckYourself.com

Just Alex · 06-18-2012, 11:30 PM

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.

mozadek · 06-18-2012, 11:54 PM

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

Tijuana_Tom · 06-19-2012, 12:02 AM

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.

Quote:

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.

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.

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.

Makaveli · 06-19-2012, 07:29 AM

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

those things are ugly

Tom_PM · 06-19-2012, 08:20 AM

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.

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.

CyberHustler · 06-19-2012, 11:25 AM

I don't care, them shits would go hard without the cuffs and paired with a Lakers snap-back like this

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

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 06-19-2012, 11:40 AM

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).

the media made it that way.

in the 80's or 90's people wore prison gear. It was part of a clothing line.

Webmaster Advertising · 06-19-2012, 05:19 PM
