are these shoes racist?

some internet commenters decided that these shoes are racist because of some imagined resemblance to slave shackles. they caused enough of a stink that adidas has cancelled production of the ridiculously expensive shoe, and now their fun has infringed upon my fun.

 note from adidas: The design of the JS Roundhouse Mid is nothing more than the designer Jeremy Scott’s outrageous and unique take on fashion and has nothing to do with slavery. Jeremy Scott is renowned as a designer whose style is quirky and lighthearted and his previous shoe designs for adidas Originals have, for example, included panda heads and Mickey Mouse. Any suggestion that this is linked to slavery is untruthful. via


 for his part, designer jeremy scott says the design is actually inspired by cartoons.

What's a Moc?

In the comments of my post about Chattanooga being a nice place to visit, friend of the blog Melissa mistakenly asserted that my label should read "go MOCKINGBIRDS" instead of the customary "go vols." First of all, don't tell me what to do. Second of all,  I didn't know there were UT's anywhere besides knoxville and i would assume that they were Vols too... or at least Smokeys. It turns out she was telling the truth and that they are Mockingbirds!






 A Moc is Mockingbird that drives the Chattanooga Choo-Choo!







They were water moccasins in the twenties, then they were just moccasins, then they were as Kylie so eloquently put it "racist-ass moccasins." Named after this pretend Chief Moccasin.

In my research, I cam across this photo. I like Memphis basketball (go tigers go) but this D has taken it TOO FAR. You can't drag a smokey through the streets. I think it's against the law. If not, it ought to be, and at the very least it's declasse. for SHAME!
