So what material are they going to use to make these Indian shoes? Brother buffalo? Cousin rabbit?

"nike has publicly announced they have big feet."

Wow! You mean the legend of big foot is true?

Good idea! They certainly could use some work on many of the reservations. It’s a LONG way from some of those small towns and settlements, to larger ones where there might be good paying jobs.

I had a pair of Chukas when I was in college. I called them Sh*t stompers, cause if you stepped in dog crap, it took hours to dig that stuff out of the tread of the shoe!

I am a native American and I have a wide tall foot. That’s why I wear Reeboks.

"I hear Reebok has hired Earl Butz to design a shoe for the African American community."

Wait just a minute here..
Are we now going to take the position there are DIFFERENCES between the races of humans on the planet?

Hasn't this been the OPPOSITE of what the black racist extortionists have been claiming for decades?

If feet are different, could the skull and its contents be far behind?

Just asking....

They are wider. So are many latinos’ feet.

*snort* No way. I think I wore those suckers out. I was doing ‘grunge’ in 1971, the first time grunge was cool.

Every time I wear my Nike Irish shoe I wind up at the local bar.

It will be distributed solely to American Indians; tribal wellness programs and tribal schools nationwide will be able to purchase the shoe at wholesale price and then pass it along to individuals, often at no cost.

I wonder how caucasian-only shoe promotions would go over?
