Venezuelan socialists will no longer be starved for sneaker options thanks to a new piece of footwear unveiled by the country's president, Nicolas Maduro.

The video comes from Saturday's grand unveil of the shoes that happened on state television. In it, Maduro calls the shoes "the boots of Bolivarian youth socialism,” in reference to the Bolivarian Revolution socialist movement.

The sneaker's introduction was part of a speech honoring the country's youth socialist movement. Maduro went so far as to make sure the colorway on these tells a story, as sneaker brands so often do these days. According to him, early supporters of the movement wore red sneakers like these.

It would be better if they started making the Official Toilet Paper of Socialism since nobody has any.

“Senor, where can I get an official sneaker of socialism?”
“You don’t understand socialism, do you, nino?”

What’s scary is that even with all of the obvious failure and hardships the Venezuelan people are enduring from pure communism being in place, they still give the commies overwhelming support.

Apparently, Bolivarian youth socialists wear Chuck Taylor knock-offs :)

"They still give the commies overwhelming support."

The so called media helps prop up the regime, but, yes it's scary that the people don't get it.

Then again, by now, the government probably has enough thugs in place, and most people living in desperate poverty, that resistance is futile.
