Hello everyone!
Many people are always on the lookout for their next pair of gym shoes.
Adidas is now a subject of controversy for it's new shoes...
These are the new Roundhouse Mid "Handcuff" shoes, which have bright orange shackles around the ankles.
Ok, so they make a statement, but that statement is in the eye of the beholder apparently.
Adidas means: "Tighten up your style with the JS Roundhouse Mids, dropping in August. Got a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles?"
People see: References to slavery.
My opinion: I think they look neat, I wouldn't wear them because they're a bit loud for my liking and I would not pay $350 for them. Do I think they're racist? No.
