Gotta say Dr. Vegas nailed it in that second tweet. I messaged him on Twitter and found out he’s no longer on IG….“Brands are not built on morality no matter what we are led to believe, those narrations are crafted and scripted these days. Nike sells to who can afford period”
It was in reference to someone saying that the AMM1 was meant to be purchased by black people because of the official messaging behind the shoe: The sneaker is “inspired by the Black community’s pride, power, influence, and resilience in the face of adversity and injustice, and the project serves as an ode to uplift the Black community and celebrate the power of its unified voice” The Whitaker Group said via press release.
I will confess, I don’t know much about this shoe…I was just kind of surprised to see people online asking if white people should be buying it…
Anyway…I liked Khalil’s message. Corps gonna corp. Corps don’t give a damn about anyone.
