Nike Making Black History/MLK Shoes

[Bruh In Law]

Nike recognizes Black History Month with a specifically designed collection under the mantra, "Be Bold. Be True."
The 2013 Nike Black History Month Collection consists of seven shoes, two tees, a Destroyer jacket, Nike Elite socks and a 5-panel hat -- each sportinga color palette of black, grey and brown, highlighted in orange.
The sneakers include silhouettes from Nike's Sportswear and Basketball divisions. Sportswear BHM shoes include the Nike Lunar Force 1, Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite Hi, Nike Dunk Sky Hi and Nike Air Force 1 Downtown. Nike Basketball shoes complete the BHM collection with special versions of the KD V, LEBRON X and KOBE 8 SYSTEM; all three featuring black, grey and orange with the signature Nike BHM print.
These signature shoes will debut on court during pro basketball's Martin Luther King Jr. tribute day on Monday (January 21).
The rest of Nike's 2013 Black History Month Collection will debut, beginning January 26. For more info, visit Nike.com.

Nike making MLK type shoes with exploited Chinese labor.....

 

[Costanza]

I went to the inauguration and was disgusted by the people selling Obama and MLK gear on every fucking street. If these people put half the "hustle" into doing something positive as they do making a quick buck, the world would be so much better a place... I guarantee over half of them did nothing to re-elect the President beyond voting and a large percentage probably didn't do that.

Fuck them and fuck Nike for cheapening Dr. King's legacy.

 

[Hellfish]

get rid of the pattern and these aren't half bad.

 

[doggish_098]

the shoes are not even worth explaining people have already formed their incorrect stances and opinions on them so carry on.

 

[TooTrilla]

[GentlemanJack]

If the proceeds aren't putting people in college or funding some inner city programs then FUCK NIKE VERY MUCH

[zenman]

Probably made with non-unionized under paid or slave labor. Exactly what MLK was against

If the money isn't going to shit Dr. King fought for, fuck those sneakers. I don't want to see a "5% will be donated to charity" sticker on that either.

What is there to explain?

I'm always open to new information.

Right now, it seems clear that "Fuck Nike" is the correct position.

You'll never catch me wearing any of their products.
