This isn't new for Brooks. I think they've had them for a few years now.

Any company with an Ivy League CEO is woke.

Can we please stop pretending these are all just private companies going woke on their own.

This is Blackrock going woke over and over again. All the companies are the same, it is the Spiderman meme. They are all Blackrock.

They only make running (and some walking shoes).

I bought a pair of Brooks Catamount 2’s and they disintegrated in about 6 months. On top of shite quality, they have taken a political stance. They’re based out of Seattle so not surprising.

Why is Blackrock doing this? I don’t get it? Sales aren’t going up because they turn woke….it’s the opposite!!

Notice the common factor? They are making money. They are correct to assume conservatives won't leave the brand, because conservatives are generally lazy.

You might be surprised. This isn't a big campaign for them, they basically offer one "pride shoe".

This is the first shoe that pops up on their website:

Don't know about "Running Proud". Each his own.

But Brooks makes some of the best running and trail shoes in the business. Their Ghost 15's are great.

Not anymore they don’t. Quality has been an issue for a while.

This isn't new for nearly any large athletic company. Hell they've probably been doing this for 10 years.

Meh.
I have little problem with the rainbow/pride thing.
It’s not my jam, but whatever.

The transgender push is an entirely different story.
That movement actively targets the most vulnerable in our society—children.
Bothers me deeply.
