And, just to be extra safe, Pepe says he'll post the announcement in Ebonics as well.

This morning, this statement below was posted on social media.


A white supremacist blogger (Pepe the Frog) and self-described internet troll has declared New Balance sneakers (NB) "the official shoes of White people" and encouraged his readers to buy them "so we will be able to recognize one another by our sportswear."



I am not a "white supremacist", and don't want to be associated with them, damn, I really don't want to have to find another sneaker brand. Hope that stupid blog doesn't catch on!

What brand do you wear, if it's NB will you still wear them?

My New Balances are a size too big so no. And anyway I prefer Reeboks.

Reeboks are bad for your knees.

I'll stick to my keens.

May the force be with you.

I also like teva boots.

Fuck It, I paid $165 for my NB's maybe that's why they're so comfortable, I'm wearing them, I'll be damned if I'm going to through them away!

Oh yeah, and I am White, so . . . .

My high heels are probably worse for my knees. My Reeboks have never given me knee problems.

Now that right there is funny, but my comment would have been a big stomach is what is bad on the joints.

My big stomach has never caused me knee problems either. I get leg cramps every once in awhile but that's probably due to my largely sedentary state or my possible untreated diabetes(I was pre-diabetic when I last went to see a doctor 2-3 years ago).

Clang, Clang, Clang, that's nothing to mess around with. Left untreated it can cause all kinds of issues. Go to the Dr.!

Don't forget to wear your sneakers when you go to the doc!

But...I'm immortal(or immoral. I always get those two words confused.). Seriously. Back last December when I had an anxiety attack and they thought it was related to low blood sugar they tested my blood sugar and found it normal even though all I had eaten that morning was leftover Chinese rice.

I got my taco shoes. Thanks, HotD. And a special thanks to Cars for starting this thread, I would have never found them without you.

Nice floor!
I am in disbelief, I cannot believe you got those taco shoes.
Are you in painters pants? I don't think these are yours!!!!!

You're welcome Sal, they're absolutely you!

never thought about it but they may indeed be the sneaks for white people, by default at least since I can't recall any black filks wearing them.
More research may be needed
