Nike celebrates Black History Month by selling black sneakers. Surely the folks at Converse bang their Chuck Taylors against their foreheads for not coming up with this idea that the world has patiently waited 4.6 billion years for.
“Sport is an incredible platform to inspire and encourage positive social change,” the unfortunately named Michael Jackson, Nike’s vice president and general manager of Global Basketball, informs. “Our 2015 Black History Month Collection honors and celebrates the athletes and leaders who have influenced global culture and have paved the way for our next generation.”

Wait till the ‘swipes buying black sneakers find out they’re paying 300 percent over the cost of the same “white” sneaker.
These people really are that stupid.
Good for Nike to realize there is a sucker born every minute.

Nike owns Converse. Two peas in a pod now.

I read a few years ago and organization collected new black sneakers to give to underprivileged children with their free back to school bags. The kids didn’t want them because they weren’t cool enough.

Yeah, really, this is right, because they kill for sneakers, so sneakers should be their national icon.

Urban blacks are probably unaware of it, but Nike and Homeland Security teamed up to create a sneaker with a tracking chip embedded right into the rubber sole. It was discussed at the last quarterly white people meeting.

I have a pair of black New Balance. Apparently I’ve been celebrating Black History Month for years and wasn’t even aware of it.
