Description

Adidas is cancelling its JS Roundhouse Mid Handcuffs sneakers, less than five days after previewing them on its Facebook page. The shoes were criticized for their resemblance to the shackles associated with slavery and chain gangs, with some even going as far as calling them the "Amistad Originals." Rena Karefa-Johnson has the story on the fashion faux-pas.
