I wonder how the designer didn't think people would have a problem with those shoes.

[Last or First]

On one hand, I'm glad that these are cancelled, because they're 20 different types of ugly.
But on the other hand, I'm feeling a bit sad, because someone actually put time into making those, and even if there's only one pair, I'm pretty sure nobody is going to wear them. What a waste.
Not that I don't want them cancelled. I just think it's a bit sad that they went as far as making the shoe before realizing "Hey, this idea is a piece of shit". And now the shoe is going straight to the trash. Or a museum.
   Although it would be disgusting, horrific, and absolutely hilarious all at the same time if it turned out that some kids in forced labor made these shoes.

Who the fuck sees a handcuff/shackle/restraint and thinks "WOW THAT IS OPRESSING ME BECAUSE 300 YEARS AGO MY ANCESTORS MIGHT HAVE AT ONE POINT BEEN RESTRAINED USING SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT ITEM."

Its a fucking cuff.

[Lethaxx]

sort of making a joke about slavery. If someone where to make shoes that represented the holocaust they would be shunned

If I saw those with no other context I would have thought they were a piece of art commenting on how the man uses expensive sneakers to oppress and enslave the black man, and the black man embraces it not seeing it for what it really is.

But then I realized they were actual Adidas licensed sneakers.

This is just brilliantly stupid. its both impractical and apparently offensive to people.

I don't see "slavery" when I see a shoe design like that, but what I do see is "stupid gimmick." Additionally, whoever decided on the color scheme for that needs to be thrown back into a color theory class.

Seems "colour theoretically" pretty sound to me. What the hell are you talking about? Also since when is your taste a general rule?

this is what the shoe was based off of by the way, my pet monster which was just a children's toy.

I Had that toy too!

.the stuff that our ancestors wore for 400 years while experiencing the most horrific atrocities imaginable

This is really starting to piss me off, it was 400 years ago, its in every history book imaginable, we're not about to forget what happened, stop making every little link that can possibly be made to that time HAS to be blown way out of proportion, its not about to happen again.

But these shoes are just stupid
