Thanks for the tip Babsie. This has to be the worst idea ever for a sneaker. The shackle shoe will allow the wearer to experience that wonderful feeling of being on the chain gang or better yet feeling like a slave. These can be your for just $350. Wonder if they thought about also selling a matching collar?

UPDATE:

SLAVERY AND RACIST VIEWS ON THESE SHOES ARE PERCEPTIONS CREATED OUT OF INSECURITY, NAIVITY AND FLAT OUT IGNORANCE.
For those not aware, SO is called Sissy Oversensitiveness”, its a disorder where subjects are apt to nonsensical jibber jabber/filibuster regarding some sort of nonsensical injustice that is taking place. This disorder is in the category “Whoa is Me”.
Whoa is me is a category of diseases brought on by persistant and constant displays of ignorance and dispicable actions.
SO, is a very serious disease and it looks like a lot of people dont have blood in their veins, they have weak sauce, that is suseptible to whoa is me disorders!
Another side effect of SO, is DDP or Debbie Downer Palsy. This disease causes subjects to ruin the moment, the day, the week, or anytime they are around thru negartive, pessimistic and downright, gloomy outlook on everything.
There is hope and an instant cure for both SO and DDP,
Step 1: Dont be yourself, be awesome instead.
Step 2: Repeat Step 1 until people stop ignoring and/or making fun of you
GET WELL SOON
Sadly there will most likely be a black person that will purchase these, I mean why not, we can’t them to pull up their pants despite the origins of this fashion statement.
Everyone can relax now. Adidas has succumbed to public pressure and is cancelling the launch of this shoe. This will likely create a black market for the shoes that the have already manufactured doubling or even tripling the price and creating violence that typically accompanies the trade of black market goods.
Yep! I guess we have to kinda thank Adidas for taking its sick ad down. Agree with Toolsharp, in that it sad that a young black person would purchase these without a second thought. I hope that now the ad is banned, youngsters would give some thought to ‘fashion’ and how it affects them and the choices they can make.
