Adidas tried to generate advance buzz for its new $350 sneakers (pictured above) last week by posting a photo of the footwear on its Facebook page. “Got a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles?” a caption read. The photo has triggered more than 2,000 comments on the page, many angrily pointing out how offensive the shoes were to descendants of slaves. My first reaction, when I saw the shoes, was "how ugly they are...there's nothing aesthetically pleasing about these shoes....they're jarring and plasticky" and my second reaction: "what slaves to fashion and consumerism we humans are"....
