Adidas shoes is staking claim to this style of shoe as Kajsa and other Ghanaian bloggers are pointing out is pure rubbish. They are calling this the kenta shoe a take off on the word kente.
This highly sought after hand woven cloth made and worn for centuries is being stolen by a corporation that doesn't have a clue that this is an art form they can't stake a claim on. The specifics are at Kajsa's link above. I hate it when corporations steal like this.I do not have much kente cloth left but what I do have I value greatly and it doesn't belong on shoes from corporate slugs who stole it.
How about Grassley knowing that in Salem, Or. farmers are waiting for the Federal rule to expain the parameters by which Industrial Hemp can be cultivated and sold legally? Dou ya think ol Chucky is tryin to block this at the behest of Monsanto, Cargill, ADM, etc. Methinks he's using drug policy to help Midwest Cornhaulers..er, I mean Midwest Corngrowers. PS Thanks for the heads up on Adidas. I have friends here in Portland(Home of Addidas,U.S.A.) who love tennys and who need to be told of this ripoff. I'm sure they'll here about it from our local activist and art comunities even though " shoes as art" is an accepted fact. Am I surprised Addidas would do this? Does Poop Benny shit in the Vatican?
ReplyDeleteAno - didn't you mean to say corn holers?
ReplyDeleteI got confused between the hand lotion Cornhuskers which we called Cornhaulers and cornholers-sorry.
