Someone at Adidas thought it was a good idea to celebrate Black History Month with an all-white shoe.
The shoe was part of a collection inspired by the Harlem Renaissance, according to USA Today. To make matters worse, the shoe is called “Ultraboost Uncaged.”
The shoe is completely devoid of color except for the black soles. We guess red and green were busy during the design process.
You may not be surprised to learn the Ultraboost Uncaged was met with immediate disgust by people with common sense

I’m wondering how many twitter trolls requires a corporate apology?
This almost seems like a 4chan troll job.

Insane. Not just the white race, but now the COLOR white is hated?
Sometimes I think this is not going to end well.
Did my eyes deceive me, but haven’t I seen plenty of black people wearing white shoes, including basketball an football stars?
Nice looking sneaker,I’ll get a pair.
My shoes are white but they identify as dark blue
It is now forbidden to have anything White when it comes to talking about blacks. Because it’s clear that black people never wore White white shoes in their entire history.
And I hate the tone of this story. Is if G everybody know that you can’t have white shoes for Black History Month.
It’s the product of peak empire where living is as close to being guaranteed as it can be.
No time to contemplate such crap when one is preoccupied with rising above the bare minimums of survival.
As a WORLD we have gone NUTZ!
