What's the Big Deal with These Addidas Shackle Shoes?


Enough already, folks. It's just a shoe. It's not slavery, it's not chain gangs, it's not Amistad. Last I checked Kunta Kinte wasn't rocking fresh to death kicks he just dropped a Bill on at Foot Locker. Same for the chain gangs, pretty sure standard issue prison shoes don't come with the latest in Adi-light technology. Everyone chill. You don't want them, don't buy them.

Not to mention that the designer explained where he came up with the idea and it couldn't be further from what all these reactionary fascists out there immediately jumped to:



That's right, My Pet Monster. See it now? The purple, the yellow? Feel foolish now, people?






PS: I forgot how awesome My Pet Monster was...calling my parents today, if they sold mine in some yard sale or gave it to Goodwill I might never forgive them. I had many a Wrestlemania bouts with that fella.
