Sunak Slammed for "Ruining" Adidas Sambas | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Sunak Slammed for "Ruining" Adidas Sambas | Vantage with Palki Sharma
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is in the eye of another storm. Sunak has been slammed for two videos he released last week. In the videos, he was chatting with finance influencers at his office, 10 Downing Street. But the problem wasn't the subject of the talks, it was what Sunak was wearing. Sunak was seen flaunting a pair of Adidas Sambas. The sneakers are one of the most popular Adidas designs. But now that Sunak has been seen wearing them, people are saying the Sambas have been ruined. Sunak is being criticised for the sheer cringe of him trying to appear relatable by wearing the popular sneakers.

What has this to do with critizing his shoes and other stuff.

[@dineshapunchihewa1228]

This is what went wrong with UK. They critisize his choice of shoes ideally they should be critical of his policies. It is not fair . When he wears expensive shoes he gets criticised. When he wears less expensive ones again he gets criticised. So what is he supposed to wear ? Do we like when someone judges us for what we wear ? Very shallow attitude. Concentrate on his performance as a PM. If you do not like him as the PM based on his work , call for an election and vote him out.
