Of course they are not amongst DS friends, who still think they are cool. But for the general adult population, are these still considered controversial? Adidas has them on sale and has clearly brought them back even given Kanye’s previous statements years back.

| Oh who cares. There are so many more businesspeople saying and doing so many more offensive things than Kanye’s comments - what an absolute nothingburger. Cancel culture is over. |

| Do you really care whether they are controversial or whether they are "cool"? Because if they are overabundant and on sale, they really are not cool anymore. I'm a little surprised to hear that teens think they are cool because it's usually the hard to find shoes that are cool. |

| I assume you are anti-semetic if you have them. Pretty much all the kids I know who wear them have white parents anyway. |

They are fine.
Sheesh, wear whatever you want to wear. This is still America (supposed to be, anyway). |

| Controversial or not, do you want to support blatant anti-semitism? |

They are selling out. It’s weird that Adidas is selling them. I thought they cut ties. It just shows that with capitalism money will always come before doing the right thing.
People are easily conned by marketing and celebrities. |

People supports racists and anti-Semitic all the time, people that are way more important than a rapper. Half the country is supporting a man for president who is a known racist. Trump’s comment in the 90s says everything about him. “quoted Trump’s criticism of a Black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” Asked about what the former president of Trump Casino quoted Trump saying this, Trump later said in a 1997 Playboy interview that “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true.” Let’s keep it in perspective. |
