To be fair, that's kind of awesome.

But man, they're ugly as **** and probably $400 bucks.

I feel like the words "Fisher Price" should be on them somewhere.

It's the sneaker version of the shoe that adidas makes all their factory workers wear.

They're trying to start a trend but it inevitably won't work

If not for the colour, I'd think they were pretty cool. Definitely a neat idea.

Honestly speaking I don't really think of black slavery in America when I see shackles... the stories about this design are as ridiculous as those "Mad Men is making fun of 9/11 by showing a man falling" articles.

I don't think icon here was criticising these shoes because they represent black slavery

more because they look dumb as hell

i hope

Oh no, I think a little bit more highly of icon than that. It's just that I've seen a couple other links and articles talking about the shoes and making that stupid jump.

sure, selling shackle accessories for sneakers to african americans is probably not the smartest thing in the world given the history of slavery in the us, the over-representation of black males in the prison population, and the demographics for designer sneakers

but

they look dumb as hell

I think they look kinda cool. I've seen way worse, for sure. The chains are obv stupid, but I can imagine them being pretty popular with equally stupid kids.
