PHOTOS: Adidas Release Anty-slavely Sneakers by ChisomMalachy(m): 9:57am On Apr 15, 2013 |
But one particular design has come across as controversial because of its handcuff-like feature. The nickname to this adidas Originals model is the "Handcuff" ,two of which are seen in yellow on both sneakers. To some it maybe a sick design but to others, it comes off as offensive, almost referring to times of slavery. One Facebook user says “I daresay that marketing & selling a shoe with a ‘chain & shackle’ accessoryis a very bad idea. The ‘chain & shackle’ image has a bad connotation, that of slavery, in the African American community. I think it’s inappropriate. The idea of being chained to Adidas or any object is repulsive.” http://www.malaspark.com/2013/04/photos-adidas-release-anty-slavely.html
