Yes, when it come to new adidas sneakers with plastic ankle shackles.The new adidas JS Roundhouse Mids, debuting in August, are already drawing criticism online as being shoes with overtones of slavery or inmates. Not that the shoe marketer is promoting that explicitly. It has argued that the shoes are for those who have "a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles."But so far Monday, adidas had no public comment.

Besides...who is to say some homies aren't into these?
"a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles."Is that the language of a white boy VP of Marketing type trying to appeal to the homies?
what do you mean? That's America's future right there.
