Too busy for my taste, but I'd run/workout in them.

If/when they come out with a low cut leather RBGs, I'm coppin'.

"African" running sneakers that are repurposed Air max that were originally produced in the Philippines for a white company.



It's not an African sneaker if it wasn't made in the African diaspora by Africans. It's just branding.

I guess you'll never have sneakers then since none are made in Africa (to my knowledge).

The guy selling them is black.

What makes them an 'African sneaker'?

They made in Africa?
Black owned?
Or just the african themed designs?

genuine question

I'd like to consider most of us part of the diaspora considering most us would still be there if we weren't stolen away.

I look at it 3 ways.

-Who owns the company?
-What does the sneaker represent?
-Who is employed by the compay?

The owner is Black. The sneaker is red, black & green with Africa on it.

I don't know who works there, but at worst, that's 2 out of 3. Can you alert us to a sneaker company doin' more in these aspects?

With your criteria Jordan Brand is a black company...but we both know it isn't

Not sure of the particulars. Is the Jordan brand his or does he have a contract with Nike? Even if it's his, that's 1 out of 3.

IMO, the sneaker represents Blacks spendin' beyond their means, wastin' time waitin' on lines, robbin' & killin' each other, for a product worth 1/10 of what folks pay.

Much different.

Black people don't have manufacturing plants so guess what we won't be producing any thing but we gotta start somewhere. As long as the "owner" is Black. That's good enough for me.

We are allowed to make moves outside of Africa and still be proud of what we create. Until BP have their own world wide economy then other people will benefit from our efforts but that doesn't means we should be ashamed or talked down to. We gotta start somewhere.

They look like fake air maxes. So nah. I wouldn't buy any shoes in those colors. Only tops.
