Black People : Destee family....Look at these shoes with shackles

[houserunner]

I do not know the validity of this, but it is extremely effed up if it is true that a shoe like this would be crafted by a company.

Unlike the statement about slavery "Mr. T" made back in the 80s with the thick gold rope chains he wore, these shoes represent (for me) the "slavery" our youth are in thinking that b-ball or football (or rapping) are the only means by which to escape their environments.

I repeat...For this reason, I think these shoes are an excellent opportunity for dialogue with our youth about their futures and their plans, hopes, and goals in life.

Your thoughts please!!!!

I think they're about to change their slogan too:

A-ll
D-ay
I
D-ream
A-bout
S-laves

Adidas has been under recent fire for their new ‘handcuffs’ shoe design. Features on the shoe resembled slave shackles to some critics.

Adidas responded to the uproar and released a statement to MSNBC, saying, “The design of the JS Roundhouse Mid is nothing more than the designer Jeremy Scott’s outrageous and unique take on fashion and has nothing to do with slavery.”
