January 30, 2019Nike let Conservatives and patriots everywhere know they had no interest in their business when they chose COLIN KAEPERNICK as their cover boy.
Well… they’re alienating a whole NEW market now. But this time, I don’t think it was on purpose.
Muslims are ENRAGED because they supposedly wrote “Allah” on the sole of the new Air Max 270.
Here’s the logo in question:
And here is the Arabic word for “Allah’:
It seems like a stretch to me… but sure. I guess I see it.
But FLIP the shoe…
And I think it becomes pretty clear it’s supposed to say “Max.”
That’s EXACTLY what Nike says is going on here.
According to BPR:
A Nike spokesman claimed that the logo on the Air Max 270 is merely a stylized version of the Air Max trademark. Saiqa Noreen, who launched an online petition demanding a recall of the shoe, contends that the logo is in fact the Arabic script for Allah and therefore an insult to Islam. The petition has garnered more than 10,000 signatures.
“It is outrageous and appalling of Nike to allow the name of God on a shoe. This is disrespectful and extremely offensive to Muslim’s and insulting to Islam,” Noreen wrote in the petition.
I dunno, Noreen. Looks like “max” to me.
The logo appears on both the heel and the bottom of the sole, making it doubly insulting to those who perceive it to be the name of Allah. The shoe is considered unclean in Arabic culture, and showing the sole of one’s shoe is considered an insult. To attempt to hit someone with a shoe in Arabic culture is to say that the intended victim is lower than one’s foot.
The Nike spokesman argued that any resemblance to Allah was unintentional.
“Nike respects all religions and we take concerns of this nature seriously. The AIR MAX logo was designed to be a stylized representation of Nike’s AIR MAX trademark. It is intended to reflect the AIR MAX brand only. Any other perceived meaning or representation is unintentional,” the spokesman told Today.
I believe them.
Why?
Because Nike is WAYYYYYY to “woke” to purposely insult Muslims.
