Nike Air Max shoe logo called 'offensive' to Muslims for Allah-like design

Nike has come under fire for the design of its Air Max shoe, with some calling it insulting to the Islamic faith.
According to a recent petition launched on Change.org, the Air Max logo on the bottom of some Nike Air Max sneakers resembles the word “Allah,” the word for God in Arabic, written in Arabic script.
Nike has produced the Nike Air Max 270 shoe with the script logo on the sole resembling the word Allah in Arabic, which will surely be trampled, kicked and become soiled with mud or even filth,” Saiqa Noreen, who started the appeal, wrote on the petition’s homepage.
“It is outrageous and appalling of Nike to allow the name of God on a shoe,” Noreen wrote. “This is disrespectful and extremely offensive to Muslims and insulting to Islam. Islam teaches compassion, kindness and fairness towards all.”
Noreen also urged Nike to “recall this blasphemous and offensive shoe and all products with the design logo resembling the word Allah fr

Pretty sure it was Nike who courted Muslims with Nike check sport head covering for women.
They deserve every gram of this. Make them recall the shoes and lose millions!

I hope Nike will tell them to frick off for being ridiculous, but I feel they'll probably just discontinue the air max product line to virtue signal

Change the name of the shoe to "Air Mohammed".
Profit.
Profit.

Nike should change the wording to Kafir so they will leave them alone.

I don’t feel like going find it again, but one article I read on the subject said this exact same thing happened with a nearly identical design like twenty years ago. Nike apologized, recalled the shoe, and donated $50k to build a playground at an Islamic center.
The fact that they managed to step in the same pile of shite twice is baffling

islam is a garbage religion.
During the Gulf War, the Left had a saying : Support the troops, but hate the War....
Welp, I hate islam but I will pray for those stupid or bullied enough to practice this shite religion.

A shoe cannot be insulting, outrageous, appalling, nor offensive.
What it can be is precisely what it was designed to be: a shoe.
The feelings she describes are her own. A shoe cannot be responsible nor accountable for the feelings an “intelligent” human being decides to have.

So they took the Air Max logo, flipped it upside down, decided it looked offensive and now they’re raising hell? I’ve got to where I don’t even care anymore. I read these things for pure amusement at this point.
