Maybe don't call your shoe the "predator", but if you do, don't carry it in child sizes...

i see that Adidas wanted to give the old "Reebok Incubus" woman's running shoes some competition for the most inappropriately named shoe ever sold

When my wife was pregnant and we were looking into potential names for the kid, my wife asked me why I try to come up with the absolute worst of nicknames for potential name candidates.

I replied: For two reasons. First, kids can be cruel, especially teenage kids. And second: My first name was used to come up with a racist slur about black female genitals as a nickname for me. That's far worse than transforming Benjamin into 'Ben, jam (it) in!'. If I can come up with shit like that, so can they.

That shoe example there reminds me what marketing departments are there for. And that I did a better job in naming my kids than they did naming their shoes.

@alice why not? these been in the market for over three decades, if you know anything about kids, they don't word associate as overly sensitive adults are and want to wear the same boots as their favourite players. geez.

@alice the word unisex is doing some serious heavy lifting there.

Is this like the cursed version of the unabomber…?

@alice The perfect gift for a lonely child you met on the street.

‘Come on, kiddo, I know a great pitch to try the shoes. It’s on the other side of this lonely forest.’

@alice I mean... at least don't funnel it through automated translation and/or AI... have a human vet whether or not it's properly marketed on sites.

My god... That one made me burst out laughing. It's axiomatically horrible. I've seen bad ones before but this one takes the cake.
