I loved Adidas so much. I have so many Adidas brand clothes. But they are creating controversy now.

[PaulJones-ik]

I will never buy an Adidas product again.

[SergioLeon-ee]

The prestige of Adidas for a long time now is down the drain.

[ubaowhotu]

Someone in adidas should actually be fired for this reckless campaign

[rora]

They have neither morals nor courage.
Shame on them.
Boycott them for ever.

[entrance]

Sorry about that. I was an Adidas dude. Can't afford to throw them away, but will buy no more. Maybe I can remove the stripes...

[ABanRocks]

How is Russia not allowed but the Facists in FIsrael allowed. 😮

[wink]

Bella's a MODEL (Main) not an Actor.

[javaremastered]

now 50% time new 50% self promotion on every bytes

[mohamedlangry]

Bella deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Shame on these big companies hypocrisy

[akuwiyadzeclifford]

You cant please everyone. Just do your thing

I hate the design of the SL72 shoes. They look cheap and generic to me. I wore shoes with that design on them throughout primary and secondary school and vowed not to wear shoes like that again. And now Adidas gone and created a global controversy over these mediocre looking shoes. Are they even worth it?

[paulgifis]

Thank you Adidas!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ awesome products! Awesome Co.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Be quiet when babies sleep but don't when babies are being killed.
Whatever the religion, race or nation.
World is watching cinema of genocide silently.😢

[MsNerdsRevenge]

1936 Jessie Owens!! He wore Adidas. He also raced horses when he returned home in Oregon.

[yaqoobattal]

Not immense opposition but from a specific segment of the world. Few people in a few countries.
Adidas must be ashamed of its act.

[InTgraTi-Of-PurInHarT]

It's hypothetical of Adidas considering what they did to Kanye. Those shoes look like his "dad" shoes. Even though he was 1000% wrong in what he said and done, that didn't give Adidas the right to steal his designs, colorways, etc. when they are equivalently guilty of the same thing just more subtle 💯

I think she should, she looked perfect in it. Ironically enough it worked really well with her because she looks Israeli. People just love to conflate things for the sake of creating more chaos, density, conflict and division. I mean look at this comment section, what a sad, childish, shadow spectacle! No one should ever be professionally targeted for their political ideas, the fact that people can’t see the wrong precedent that this starts tells me that their souls are probably condemned. Stop the division, and stop conflating things. It’s a commercial add campaign paying homage to a sad historical event. It required a model that looks Israeli, Hadid even tho Palestinian does look Israeli. The add looked beautiful and even made me emotional because of that. If anything it reminds those two people that before their religions and land disputes they are closer than what they think or feel. Here we have a mixed race Dutch-Palestinian girl who in the end looks like she could be Israeli, celebrate that instead of fueling the division! The people of this planet are children, perfect instruments to the shadows.

more like staged since it can attract free publicity to shoe collection. simple negative marketing

[interagencyis]

Stand with us. Stand for justice. Boycott Adidas now !!!
