I'm offended. Holi is fun, but it's still a religious festival.

What will renaming the collection do to solve the issue? The Hindu symbols will still be on the shoes.

The fact ADIDAS filmed this entire segment of Pharrell attending a Holi celebration as part of a coordinating effort to make it appear they were "appreciating" instead of "appropriating" makes all of this so much worse in my book.

Seriously, how is it in the year of our lord 2018 did someone at Adidas not go "huh, maybe we shouldn't name a shoe line designed by a non-Hindu after a Hindu religious festival???"

Yep. Just look at things like "color runs" which completely appropriate the holiday.

“Pharrell Williams and Adidas should have done some homework before taking Hinduism concepts frivolously and using these to make a fashion statement and sell shoes for mercantile greed, some of which contain leather,” Zed released in a statement posted to his website.

they seem like right wing extremists tbh. hinduism in india is fairly diverse and many communities of hindus use leather and consume cow meat. there is no blanket taboo on it even though right wing fascists want it to be so.

It's so hard to find decent looking sneakers these days. Where does the ugly shoe trend even come from??

lord, i fucking hate the current athleisure trend, but you can find nice sneakers as long as you avoid the typical brands (jordans, new balance, those ugly adidas shoes, etc)

i went sneaker shopping and was very disappointed. seems like companies only care about putting out looks instead of comfort. shoes were either hard or flat with no arch/heel support. came away empty handed.

The shoes I'm trying to replace are ryka. Very comfortable but it's only been a few years and they are falling apart badly. Wish they made the shoes better quality.

I don't have an arch, so I have to go to specialty stores to get shoes. I think I went to Fleet Feet and they have you stand on this thing that digitally measures your foot and tells you what kind of arch support/shoe you need. I've switched to Saucony's from New Balance because the soles are SOOO comfy and last for months whereas my New Balances (from the official NB store, not the mass produced ones for like Shoe Carnival, etc.) the soles would be sunken in after 3 weeks.
