This is bullshit. Rubchinsky was silent all the time.
If you want him to talk against the war, you either want him to leave his home or to be imprisoned, what effectively makes y'all a group of shitheads

Oh, that's rough. They are the official supplier of the German national soccer team, starting next year.
Germany has a good relationship with Ukraine.
I'm terrible at predicting shitstorms. This has the potential but will probably get ignored. Unless Adidas and Puma pay some PR firm to start one.
Article? Rule 6.
are you unable to see the article?
Just shows as an image post with a short explanation underneath for me. I do see an article when clicking through to kbin.earth with the fediverse link icon though.
I'm not seeing the link either, but I do see it on the post in the Ukraine community.
Puts them up there with Adidas!
What did Adidas do?
Adidas was founded in the 1920s in Germany and remained in operation throughout the 1930s and 40s if that helps clue you in
Are Adidas still endorsing nazi parties and idologies? Is that what's happening? Can you explain?
all of the major athletic shoe brands are up to shady shit because they profit from slave labor in the global south.
the only shoe companies that i feel genuinely comfortably recommending:
What about Wolverine/Saucony? I don’t seem to be able to find anything out about their labour or politics practices.
i don't have anything specific on them. i've bought plenty of altra's so clearly i'm not above buying wolverine
It’s currently my go-to brand (helps that they actually fit my foot type and terrain use), but as I was reviewing runner manufacturers and their social stances, I realized that while Nike and Adidas are relatively transparent about what they do so they’re easy to critique, Wolverine seems to be more in a “don’t ask / don’t tell” space — which could mean they’re actually just as bad or worse than the others.
I thought it was the puma brother that supported nazis and Adidas bro who then went against puma.
They are just regular black sneakers with a bit of peach coloring. I mean, the guy clearly sucks. Not interesting at all.
Okay, thanks for the negativity. Anybody know any ethical sneaker designers to balance this out?
If you like this design, check out the designs by their last partner. Helped their multibillion dollar corporation make record profits! And in the end, isn’t that what it’s all about? Blindly supporting which ever titan of capitalism panders to your worldview, as if wearing over-priced shoes constructed with third world sweatshop labor is Marxist because the designer posed for his profile pic in a CCCP shirt?

Beginning to think big businesses care more about generating revenue than showing solidarity.
The fact that they (the website) included a reaction tweet from themselves doesn't make them look very professional.
As per Nike, fuck them (again... And again and again)
My days of not buying Nike shit sure are coming to a middle
