What do you guys think of this

[mr.pure]

What a load of tosh.
Aimed at young black men my eye.
They are aimed at well paid mostly white and asian chaps with a penchant for limited edition trainers.
They didn't jump on the Pistol Pete's so why bother with these.
I'm surprised that a half decent paper would lower itself to write such drivvle.

Here is a link to the voice that shows people are upset with puma about these clyde's

What a load of bollocks

[mr.pure]

This whole thing is going doolally.
The funny thing is that now a bunch of young black kds are gonna be interested and they will turn up at FP if they get the right information but they will get up early and traipse to London and be sadly disappointed to find out that they are 100th in the queue, but they will stay only to find out, 5 hours later, that they ran out ages ago.
The media is saying 400 pairs but there is only 216 worldwide.
This is all too funny and I'd like a pair but I'll be fucked if I'm queueing up to be put on South East news at 10.

[mr.pure]

Oops !
Still love Puma states but I did give mine away to a homeless.

What makes you think the black kids are gonna want em?

[mr.pure]

Cos they've seen the ridiculous front page of the Voice showing a Kalashnikov and they're gonna think that that's what's being released.

[Effel]

But why only the black kids?

[mr.pure]

If you read the article they were saying that young black kids were gonna be buying them when in reality it would have been mostly well off youngish white and asian kids.
Now, cos of all the hype, the people that the papers thought were gonna be buying the trainers may, if they can be bothered, end up queueing up and getting them.

Quote from the link at the top Effel...

"The controversial new trainersNew Puma trainers sporting a machine gun logo were branded irresponsible by anti-gun campaigners.

The black-and-white Bonnie and Clyde sneakers bear a tommy gun motif on the back.

Campaigners said the limited-edition ?60 shoes were aimed at young black men and 'glamourised' crime."

[mr.pure]

Phew, thank fuck for that !
Glad someones got my back.

[bobby dassler]

You got it in just b4 me mr. p!

I knew wot you meant - i think Effel just couldn't be arsed to read it - he does enough of that between 9am & 3pm during the week

[mr.pure]

He keeps bunking off to go buy trainers from Size, so he ain't learnin' jack !
Probably can't read.

Only jokin' Eff.
