HERE is a great reason to riot!

Shoes! Über-ugly shoes!

You'd think it was the '80's again!

This reminds me... I have a pair of Magic Johnson shoes... no I'm not kidding.

Bought them about 20 years ago... threw them in the closet and forgot about them. Still in the original box, wonder if they are worth anything?

They obviously didn't price these shoes high enough.

I kinda like those shoes. Not really my style (or within my budget) but they look pretty cool.

And they glow in the dark!

Well, it's neat (almost said "cool", but thought better of it), but I absolutely would not want that car. I don't like attention that much.

Cool! Makes it easier for the cops chasing the punks to spot them!

How is that racist?!?!?! There was no mention of any race. Hugo, are you implying punks up to no good can only be one race?

Paul is an esteemed Grumpy Old Fart; a Curmudgeonly Gentleman. But he is no racist. You seem to cry wolf a lot. Are you like Lubemaster where you have an empty life so you stir the pot on Internet forums to get your rocks off, or are you really that small of a person that you are constantly playing "the card".

Put it back in the deck and STFU. You add nothing to this forum.

That's an MR2, not a Boxster.

If you know anything about the shoe or rather the material you would know that it is pretty incredible- doesn't crease or stain- I had an employee wear a similar one for 2 years and other than the bottom it still looks brand new-

However riots and people getting shot over any shoe is just dumb...

Well, calling out the facts is now considered racist, no one ever rioted when Sperry re-issued the Classic Boat shoes, nor when Vans re-issued the Checkerboard Vans,

but when a shoes aimed at the Black youth comes out, and there are riots, by the Black youth, PC idiots like like you who are always making excuses for bad behavior, it is never the fault of the people committing the crimes in your eyes, you always find a way to inject race and call someone else a racist../ People like only only serve to keep race baitors like jesse jackson & al sharton in business instead of dealing the real problem, you are the Real Racis,t excuse bad behavior and try to direct the blame to others..
