Or they’re trying to expand their customer base to increase sales and profits.

The horror!

Of all the black people I have met in my life I am 100% positive that none of them would ever wear those shoes.

pretty sure that shoe and his attire just killed any potential of a black man ever falling for a sketcher shoe.

This is as weird as that AARP commercial where the black guy recites slam poetry to the camera.

Yeah, just some nerdy white guys would be the only ones to wear those. It's like trying to sell pork chops in Israel.

They're going to market to this "demographic" for a while then get a big NBA name to sign on for marketing purposes and make them a show

The James Harden Sketchers are coming soon to a soon-to-be mobbed on Black Friday store near you!

they are called "D'Lites"... its like their naming of the shoe is even trying to target the "hip" crowd. This is what happens when you put a bunch of old middle aged white people with titles around a conference table.
