    Racist? No.

    $350 for shoes made by children in Indonesian sweat shops, that's criminal. Okay, maybe not in Indonesia...

    So they prevent people from stealing your shoes, WHILE YOU WEARING THEM
    I must live in a good area, never had my shoes stolen off my feet in mid step.

    They don't want the shoes you wear.

    High end sneakers are marketed almost exclusively to the urban black demographic, while I doubt there was any racist intent it does show that they really don't know their customer base.

    Seriously not a single black person works in Adidas Marketing? Nobody saw this coming?

    As a graphic designer I sometimes do designs as an in house joke. For example we used to do a map of Commerce City ... I once did a joke version of the cover with a photo collage of pole dancers and cars up on blocks ... it was only to show around the office and for us to laugh at. I gotta wonder if this sneaker design isn't one of those that accidentally got put into production.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
