About:
Adidas and Pharrell faced backlash for their 2018 "Hu Holi" collection, inspired by the Hindu Holi festival. Critics deemed it culturally insensitive, and the line was eventually withdrawn.
Artist Tom Sachs' Nike collaboration, the General Purpose Shoe, was popular but was halted due to allegations of a toxic workplace in Sachs' studio.
Katy Perry caused controversy with her "Roo Face" slip-on loafers, which were accused of resembling blackface caricatures. The shoes were quickly pulled from the market.
KZbinr Omar, aka Omi in a Hellcat, was sued by Nike for trademark infringement over his sneaker brand, Reloaded. A court ruled in favor of Nike, resulting in $8M damages.
Nike sued Bape over design infringement, leading to Bape discontinuing or modifying five of their shoe designs.
The collaboration between Yeezy and Adidas ended after Kanye West's dissatisfaction with the partnership, which was heightened after working with 3D printing footwear company Zellerfeld.
The tragedy of the Heaven's Gate cult, all wearing Nike's Decade sneakers, led to the model's discontinuation. The shoes are now a collector's item due to their association with the event.

Pharrell’s Holi pack was definitely cultural appropriation, the question really comes down to whether or not cultural appropriation is inherently a bad thing considering it’s inescapable and how new culture is created.

[@Noseir123]

Should've added Jeremy Scott's 'Shackles'

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

ehh not really that controversial if u knew what the original character it was based on. Just people who were ignorant to it started spreading false rumors about what it meant.

[@Noseir123]

@@SouthJerseyBaitReviews true, and the same people who claimed it to be controversial are just like the people who thought Pokemon was a devilish TV show. which were the pastors, the teachers, the parents, the news reporters... and basically everyone in between who didn't have any context and jumped to conclusions in the 90's

[@Noseir123]

@@SouthJerseyBaitReviews yeah i agree that's why it was controversial in the first place.

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

@@Noseir123 Facts bro people be reaching now in days and get triggered over nothing really it's sad. Monkey see monkey do culture has taken over.

[@RevlZKitchen]

Been waiting for this one a while 😂

[@solaris100]

Loved the Holi pack because of the great colours. Total bricks though, because ppl couldn't deal with the tie-dye awesomness.

[@romeyKICKS]

The 3 Bape Shoes That They Cant Produce Never Got Released In The US + 2/3 Were New Silhouettes Aka Bape Actually Won In That Settlement Seeing They Didnt Have To Compensate Nike Like Omi Did

[@dwdwalcott6]

I was not a big fan of Nike as a kid. One of the few Nikes I got was the decade in middle school from JC Penny.

[@vhacker71]

I live 2 miles away from the heavens gate cult. Needless to say it was in the local media for a long time. ☹️

[@JoshWoods-ql1ok]

What are those lights on those shelves?

[@Adze99]

Menthol 1's would be a runner-up for me (no pun intended).

[@braulioalvarezarellano8046]

I quit, no more shoes.

[@freetherealkeeptherest]

Nike played real dirty when it came to kiy and omi and now they got sneakers with lighting bolts on the side can’t make this up

[@adnaanu]

Guess Kanye hasn't heard of Wellington boots...

[@JohnCannonBand]

I’m glad Jonestown wasn’t wear 1’s lol

[@eKKo66eKKo]

My fave band Drab Majesty made a whole album about the Heavens Gate cult. It’s named The Demonstration.

[@bapetown]

I knew Bape was going to be mentioned LOL...And "A massive blow?"......Ehhh not really😅

[@samuelhausmann397]

22’000$ for a shoe you wouldn’t buy at a Nike Outlet ahaha

[@kevinwhite1077]

Tom Sachs needs Anger Management Assistance...wth.

[@reflektclothing]

Great video, few we never knew were even concepts!

[@frankbooth2879]

Umbro 'Zyklon's

[@blackwolforder23]

If you never saw Pharrell’s cringe face during Holli then you just don’t know why it’s wrong on purpose😂

[@Snowcruizer]

I might just be ignorant so someone please fill me in, but I don't see that much of an issue with Pharallels collab. Please correct me if I'm wrong

[@donphillips1116]

shoutout to sway

[@aprstudio7115]

What about Tyga’s wavy shoe!

[@Khuranasasuke]

Damn the holi shoes are fire AF fuck people who thinks it was incentive i really want to buy them and those will be my grail

[@titox2310]

No one is saying anything about the skeleton Kobe’s coming out?

[@pedronunes31]

what about the MSCHF ones with holy water and the other with blood?

[@marcop.525]

2:07 How did you completely forgot about the Tom Sachs 3.0? In fact SNKRS APP even made a contest to vote to became the 3.0 tester, you had to upload a video proving the reasons why you wanted to be one of the first ones to try it and after youvhad to make daily report videos about how did you wear them. Is this story completely been banned to the shadow realm or did someone still remembers that?

[@garyburke6156]

I remember it well. the tom sachs stuff hit right after kanye/adidas blew tf up and Nike just didn't want any similar controversy. Nike completely dropped anything sachs like a hot rock. It sucks because I was a fan of his, but he was just such a jerk to work with that he squandered all his opportunities. mars yard 3s would have been massive. now he's hawking crappy NFTs to make a buck. ah well

[@tonyz_lionwolfhounds]

Moral of the story : NIKE still boss of the shoe world 👟🤣

[@fentondavis3878]

The first one is stupid going on there logic we should not have Christmas shoes, Easter, Chinese new year, st Patrick day

[@jaeloves9472]

The Tom Sach’s Mars yard is definitely the most over-rated sneaker ever.

Tom Sachs just sounds like a normal lead designer. People are so soft these days especially in the eclectic art scene.

[@Coleniaonthisbeat]

Damn I’m early

[@user82938]

It was probably only white people who got angry about the Holi collection. I bet Indian people were stoked.

[@theYT_moderator]

Sambas should be on this list. For being controversially the ugliest shoe of all time 😂

they look better than campus and jumpman jack ._.

[@kdotroy1]

One thing ive learned aa a british born hindu. Dont piss off the hindus, theres some militants over and in america. 😆 not going to lie, I really wanted a pair of the holi pharrell colabs. But I can see why they saw it as culture appropriation and deemed it to stop. It's not adidas's festival, culture, religion to financially exploit. What would've made it better if, they made the effect during the holi festival, and then sold a cheaper pair to indians but dirt cheap with the same effect. Probably would've got marketed better and gave some indians some exclusive products this meaning they would've felt incorporated into the design and gave it the hindu thumb of approval. 😆
