Sneakers Have Become Political Dynamite
Sneakers have been literally and metaphorically flamed by the recent political wildfire sweeping across America. Just last month, Donald Trump Jr. showed us his very own of a Nike Roshe Run, while back in September, his father put his thumbs to work telling Nike they were ‘getting absolutely ’ for kneeling with Colin Kaepernick. In December 2018, on the appropriately named Constitution Avenue, the game-worn was exhibited at the Smithsonian. Not long after, Kanye West Donald Trump: ‘You gave me the heart to go to adidas’. Sneakers have long been political, but are they now canvases to express ideological warfare?
