i may be mistaken but from what i remember, the picture above is what nike changed the logo to after the whole controversy... heres the logo that was the issue. you can see in the original, the letters were all connected but the picture above the "A" is seperated from the "ir"

even worse... Muslims don't even eat "Bacon"

You mean when other skate companies urged "true" skaters to not buy Nike SB products because it would ruin their culture?
I think it was a small movement, but it really never succeeded, because look at Nike SB today...i mean, not today, but what it used to be.

 

[zero 0123]

Didn't the Kobe II's on Adidas get recalled also? I coulda sworn they did, I don't remember why though.

 

[T0INE]

Never knew about those Penny foamposites.

Good stuff.

Yes and No I mean that the person who designed the colorway I think worked for consolidated. Consoildated made a shoe that looked like the dunk exactly but ithad a banana in lieu of the swoosh. Basically Send Helps vs. Consolidated BS Drunk.

I remember hearing a story about the XIV's being banned at some schools in Cali because of the Roman Numerals being related to a gang.
