im not gonna lie.,.. the shoes are fuckin awful.. #1, but the shackles make it look retarded. who the fuck even designs that not expecting backlash?....

anyway, of course the real topic is that many blacks got offended.. because it really is offensive... not to mention hideous.
they couldn't even had used a better color palette?

If that shoe sells here the majority of people wearing it will be Asian.

Every race has been enslaved at some point in time. When will Blacks give it a rest, it's not our fault that you are on average less successful than Whites.

  I see nothing offensive about the shoes at all, except how visually offensive it is because of its ugliness.


catching feelings I see

Lol, I just love to state the mass-delusions of the Black community. They act as if they're the only ones who got enslaved and as it still significantly effects them today. Completely shifting their collective duty to not lower the quality of life of the nation they live in, that gave them the fail of "Integration".

lol and you wonder why

I don't see how it's offensive, but whatever.
granted it's not the most offensive thing out there, it's doing a pretty good job at pissing off black folks.
but at least i can understand why... :\

i hate the entire concept of the shoe personally. from the stupid shackle looking bracelets to the hideous design.


I think people are just being overly touchy. When paired with the slogan, it's not offensive and easy to understand what they're trying to do.

I like the concept, I think they the colours are ugly though.

The whole construction is pretty terrible.

Ew wtf
Those are some of the ugliest shoes I've ever seen.
BR0CONUT Posted at 1:10 pm on June 18, 2012
Wow, whoever designed those shoes must be five years old.

Without the straps I'd be okay with them. I like the shackles but not in orange.
