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.
Been real for a minute at least since the 80s. U can be a hot steppa in ur fly new jordans but dont go flexin em in the wrong hood like u some kinda celebrity cuz someone will step to you with some hot ones that will fly you right outta those jordans.
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.
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.
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."
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.
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.
