: We gott ask . . who came up with the BRIGHT IDEA of releasing these new "Slave Adidas." Do they REALLY expect our young people to be walking the streets wearing SHACKLES????
COMPANIES CAN MAKE ANY PRODUCT THEY WANT. WHO WILL BE THE DUMB AZZ WHO BUYS OR WEARS IT IS ALL I WANT TO KNOW.
A COMPANY COULD MAKE A GOLD NOOSE AND YOU'LL FIND SOME NINJA WEARING IT. SO SAD WE DO DUMB STUFF LIKE THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW OUR OWN HISTORY. TEACH YOUR KIDS BLACK HISTORY. DON'T RELY ON SCHOOL.

Umm I got them and mines didn't come with shackles it's probably just an attachment or something and I'm pretty sure slave addias is no no the name of them that's prolly a street name. Oh and mj had shoes that looked liked that air Jordan 20's lol
If this ain't degradation I don't know what is. White people sure the fu(*** didn't ever walk around in shackles so who exactly are they mocking by creating these stupid looking shoes? Obviously black people the race that loves sneakers. So they sit up there in the corporate office and say "Oh they love sneakers so why not make a pair in remembrance of their ancestors who lived and/or abolished in slavery". And some ignorant *** fu(ka really went for that. Inconsiderate ***.
The streets call them slave shoes. Don't imply that the company does, but have your pics say something else. Shackles are used to this day with prisoners and slavery *** always be associated with blacks because, thanks to the bible, every race imaginable has been held against it's will. And, no, blacks weren't the last to be slaves, nor should people believe that we're the only ones who had it bad.
Woow........Why would they even THINK to make these. If this isn't a crystal clear look into the mind{s} of white america, i don't know what else is. Don't know if they are really called 'slavery'.....hope not. That's what makes it bad for me. If they were just a pair of sneakers with shackles, that could have been meant for ANY race....i would think jail/prison and there's all races there, BUT if they are really called 'slavery' - that's f*cked up.
Sadly, i'm sure our young blacks would probably purchase a pair.....just like they wear their pants half way down their azzes - if only they knew where that stemmed from {google Fleece Johnson}. Some of the young youth of today are so lost & misguided.
This is terrible.
...'mental slavery' and thats exactly what these pale faces are doing. pale faces, is another word for Hunkey. see it aint the white folk who are enticing *** to get up, cause they have no other choice but to accept the actions of their ancestors and expect that flop to happen. remember when mto showed that aunt jemima cake with black chocolate *** skin, nappy *** hair, jiggaboo candy eyes, and when they cut it it was red velvet...with white azz craker-jokes standing around waiting to get a piece. *** em'!! they time is here!
Have we not forgot that this is the land that they built off rape, robbing, killing and stealing?? and of course it wouldnt be above them to offend the *** anyway they can. of course! :0. why not?? "because we still have them in out possession and many of them still follow what we say." instead of knowing your worth being more than what you are allowed to see. those shoes are nothing but a reminder of a universal *** stomping that not (all whites) need to get but, hunkies. hell put them ugly *** on johnathan! Bringing your *** over here. Keeping you from reading, so you wont find your Truth. Stripping you from your (names, heritage, religious beliefs) all you knew so you can be better controlled. Then, after working like your...i dont know uhmmm hebrew slaves?? They get Neh'gers to feel like they are inadequate fasting for wheels, rims, rides houses and slutty nasty ( ) dog *** who the world somehow tricked into believing that these *** are official. I give these shoes (real or fake...or just a ploy to *** with you)...a thumbs down
For all of you who said "who cares," you're part of the problem. You should care, you *** sit back and let stuff like this slide.
What purpose could these shackles actually have? What message are they trying to send? POC aren't the only ones who wear Adidas, in fact I know more white people who do, but still...slavery, no matter what ethnicity, isn't a laughing matter, or something to mocked by fashion.
Who the he!! is running their design department? The guys from Zoolander? Is this the next line from Dere-Lict?
Im sorry but my people are so *** stupid.. Look how low we have become to white globalist society?? Just look how insignificant and WEAK we are as a group of people. White people are not giving a *** about how we feel about anything because we are soo disunited and weak. They killed Trayvon and we didn't make enough noise.. They filmed that mammy cake with a noose around its neck in Sweden and happy go lucky negroes just sat back and didn't do anything but continue slanging dope, knocking up black women, and screwing white non-black women. Now this shoe comes out.. White cooperations don't even give two cents and a nickel about black folks because we are just that "stupid" we the only group of fools to spend 300 dollars on a pair of "air Force Ones"-doesn't Nelly have a song JUST about sneakers??? How disgraceful we've fallen as a race of people. It makes me so sad. White cooperations and whites in general don't care about us and we are too dumb and mentally brainwashed to help ourselves. I already know this shoe is about to fall off the rack as many dumb knee grows will be spending their 800 dollar paycheck on the 500 dollar "slave shoe".. Massa telling us we are slaves and he subliminally reminds us of our supposed "inferiority" that he disguises this in the form of a *** sneaker because he know black people love them some *** stupid sneakers and shoes. SMDH. I have yet to see a holocaust brand of cigerette. That mess will NEVER fly.. They won't even advertise a mohawk red engine Indian American Burger because even the native americans have enough sense not to let people degrade their HONOR. But HoW can the white man degrade a NEGROs HONOR when he has none??? Face it most negroes don't know anything about PRIDE and HONOR. How can a Negro value HONOR when he dont even have enough respect to honor his woman and children?? How can a negro value honor when he quick to scoop up white women and anything else that is OUTSIDE his ethnic group. How can a negro value honor when he willingly knocks up and ABANDONS his children without pangs of guilt. Yep. White folks Got us big time. Its just a shame we too stupid and too brainwashed to see it.
SunshineKiddy- While I agree with some of your points, I disagree with others. I think we give white people too much power over us.. Yes slavery was institutionalized and it still continues to this day be it mental and covert. However, under this pressure, Black people should collectively stand together and fight it but we don't. We just GIVE THE *** UP. We rather chase white women and PRETEND racism is over or we'd rather throw all of our feelings of inferiority on rides, rims, homes, clothes, and sneakers. Massa has ALOT of traps set for us but in the END we still have FREE CHOICE to do what is RIGHT. Many of us DON"T. We chose to just give up, abandon our children, desert our women, then talk *** about them as if women are stronger than men. Sistahs would rather *** every thug and contract HIV rather than find a nice black man to settle down with. Our children rather watch lil wayne and em on TV or play "ball" as if rapping and Ball are the be all end all of their life. Its down right pitiful. We are the world's BIGGEST CONSUMMERS and don't OWN A TOOTH PICk factory. Its a *** shame. Then we want to point fingers at chinese, jews, indians, and other folks who manage to stick together with family and do business to ensure their own survival in this country. But yet, we too stuck on massas tricks to pool our money and resources together and open our own stores and shops. Black people also have a blame in the poor conditions of our people as well.
bklynkey718- What is so childlike about my frustrations?? It isn't true that Black people are disunited? It isn't a reality that we are America's biggest consummers? It isn't a fact that black folks are soo into material posessions which are frivilous such as clothes and some *** sneakers?? You are just the typical man or woman that refuses to acknowledge our dirty laundry. I'm tired of us acting as if our "*** don't stank". We are guilty of the coonery in our community just as the white man is guilty of enslaving us. Got to call it as it is. I'm not about to sugar-coat it. Truth hurts but denying the true hurts ten times worse.
See this is the *** that happens when you have all white people sitting in a conference room...making decisions about people they know nothing about! And soooo many of you were happy to see Affirmative Action gooo, we don't need it no more, you said...guess what? We need it now more than ever...expect more *** like this...
sad thing is there are people on here screaming that this picture is photoshopped. It is not. I sent MTO this story a week ago and they post it when yahoo makes an article about it. ya'll should read the description of the shoes.
Here's the description of them, straight from Adidas' website. Look at all the key words. S Roundhouse Mid Shackle Made for today’s prisoners of style, Jeremy Scott’s Roundhouse Mid incarcerates a classic b-ball sneaker with a rubber ankle shackle and a plastic chain detail. Features a full suede upper, an ankle strap and reflective stripes across the heel.
