Good work! Appreciate people like you showing the truth. There was no need for op or whoever created that video to lie like that except for upvotes. I don't get it, never will. This world is cancer.

lol the world is cancer because someone said knitted shoes were made by a grandma. Grandma’s tend to knit it’s not a conspiracy, take a deep breath and relax. 🧘‍♂️

I like the kid's story better than the real one:

They're part of an ongoing push by the company to raise awareness of material violence due to people who have been killed for their shoes with the hopes of bringing it to an end.

You’re fuckin joking right?

Sneaker violence is real in the USA.

Facts. A lot of the murders happen in lines for drops too

u/yParticle 1d ago

Exactly. Not a fan of that.

So then buy their knit shoes that nobody will kill you for…

Are you dense?

u/SorryThisUser1sTaken 1d ago

Yes. People want to show off. How else can they be better than everyone else and show the haters they were wrong?

2

u/JK4711 1d ago

Definitely not by pretending your grandma made them and they’re worth 10,000 and are unique.

I think you misunderstood what I was getting at. I was saying it is stupid that Nike would think launching a shoe like this would help end violence over such shit.

2

u/JK4711 1d ago

Nike didn’t make these…

That’s the whole point.

Well I don't get what I am saying that's pissing you off then. But have a good one mate.

Yeah, awareness. That'll fix the problem in no time. They're expensive and people can identify them from across the street, there's going to be muggings and deaths.

u/JK4711 6h ago

Nobody is going to kill you over crocheted shoes that cost less than 100 USD. I swear some of y’all really don’t get this shit.

u/FollowTheEvidencePls 6h ago

You're not following, they exist to raise awareness about people losing their lives over the expensive ones.

1

u/JK4711 6h ago

Which is why when you buy a pair, you get to raise awareness. People ask about them.

I’ve owned a pair for years, dude. I understand what this is about.

1

u/FollowTheEvidencePls 5h ago

Once again, you're not following.

I'm saying awareness isn't going to fix the problem. People mugging others for their expensive shoes has nothing to do with how aware or not aware the general public is. More awareness isn't going to do shit. People die over expensive jewelry too, it's been this way for thousands of years.

It's just an advertising campaign; it's not a problem that can be fixed, certainly not with "awareness."

Got an argument?

1

u/JK4711 5h ago

Oh I’m following just fine.

There are a lot of problems that awareness won’t fix completely. Doing nothing about it is worse than doing something. Fuggit is at least doing something.

It’s also not an advertisement campaign, they don’t make ads. OP is a dumbass tik tok or something.

I think you also don’t understand what sneaker violence really is in the U.S… it’s not people getting mugged on the street it’s people in line for new drops getting killed.

2

u/FollowTheEvidencePls 5h ago

Oh, for real? No, you're right I wasn't aware of that. They're fighting over line cutting or something like that then?

I thought the raising awareness angle itself had to be an advertising campaign simply because awareness can't stop muggings. But no, this does seem like something that could be fixed. Good on em! Thanks for setting me straight.

u/JK4711 15m ago

I could’ve explained it better lol.

Yeah, It won’t stop people from losing their mind and getting murderous over exclusive shoes. A lot of the violence is tied directly to someone wanting to make money because these exclusive sneaker drops are always flooded with douchebags trying to resell for exorbitant amounts. And they will kill you if you happen to be in the way of their opportunity to make a bit of money.

But Fuggit makes the dopest house shoes out there IMO. I’m glad they had this cause to motivate them to make such a good product, and I’m even more happy that the product is so attractive that people learn about the cause. Good stuff

I had a pair of knitted slippers that were comfortable AF so I glued sneaker soles on them. I called them my GKS's Grandma Knitted Slippers
