God! Why didn’t they go ahead and lace them up with gold chains and embroider a watermelon on their sides?
Oh shut up!
Anything you say is going to be twisted as racist anyhow — might as well make it funny.
Yahoo – Since Michael Jordan signed with Nike at the beginning of his illustrious career, his signature Air Jordan shoes have redefined the world of athletic footwear. Signature sneakers are now a major part of an athlete’s global brand, and they also help change the course of casual fashion. Every release of a new version of the Jordans is a basketball event.
On Monday afternoon, Nike and Jordan Brand released its latest incarnation, the Jordan XX8 (aka 28, for those of you don’t recognize both Roman and Arabic numerals in the same construction) at an event in New York City. As you can see in the photo above (via @solecollector), it’s a bold design that’s already generating controversy. From the outside, the sneaker looks something like a black rain overshoe, with a zipper that encloses the entire inside. Underneath, however, the dominant color is a distinct neon green.
Ya gotta wonder just how many ‘folks’ will fight and/or kill for a pair of them…………it’s all about ‘status’ of course.
Oh and I forget to mention that they are just plain UGLY………………….
