I've just ordered these for an Xmas present from Mrs Weeksy.

I'm struggling to work out who at 5:10/Adidas thought it would be a great idea to cover a pair of shoes in numerous pairs of tits!

I've just had a proper giggle showing my missus this, but honestly, who signed that off...?

Did you read the why?

They've got the breast cancer ribbon emblem thingy on them, so I guess that's why?

INTRODUCING THE ADIDAS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS COLLECTION FEATURING THE FIVE TEN FREERIDER PRO CANVAS – a selection of footwear and apparel designed to raise awareness and funding for Breast Cancer Now and National Breast Cancer Foundation. Designed in partnership with Veronique Sandler

“My mom had breast cancer,” explains adidas Five Ten Senior Product Manager Bike & Global Brand Comms Manager, Luke Hontz. “She is fortunate to have come through it. I’ve wanted to do something to raise awareness of the disease and to help support individuals and their friends and families who are impacted. Working on this collection is a passion project. I'm grateful adidas gave me the chance to get it off the ground. I hope our efforts can make a difference in people's lives."

The collection is available for purchase in limited quantities from September 30, 2022 until the end of October 2022 for adiClub members only, before going on general sale after October. £15/€15/$15 from each full-price sale of the adidas Breast Cancer Awareness Collection will be donated to Breast Cancer Now (for purchases in the UK and EU) or National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. (for purchases in North America). The money raised will contribute to the important work these charities are doing.

Fair point, had kinda worked that out but even still...

Mind you there's some pink "fuck cancer" socks I've seen a few guys wearing too...

Dunno why but as someone who's had cancer (1yr in remission the other day) with a GF who's had cancer (5yrs in remission on the same day as my 1yr), I do find some of the paraphernalia associated with raising awareness sometimes a little obtuse and obvious cash ins by brands that should know better really...

Though when do I get my signature edition poo brown colour pair with squiggly turds all over them...?

I do get that - and fingers crossed the remission continues for you both.

I've lost too many friends/family to it, but I look at the logo thing as anything to make people think - it might remind people to get checks etc - I don't tend to buy branded stuff with the logo, but then I don't buy branded stuff! I prefer to do stuff for charity direct (the cake bake stuffs for instance). BUT, like I say, anything that might remind people to get checked

Now that is a marketing ad that would be great!! LOL I know far too many people that would buy stuff like that - probably to give to someone that wouldn't rather than to actually wear!! LOL But again, might remind people to do the checks (that's one that most people don't know about until too late )

Picked up a cut price Cannondale Trail 4 SE for my GF the other week. Rather a nice entry level hardtail I must say! Bolt through axles (Boost) both ends on a bike for £600 was not to be sniffed at, makes it eminently more upgrade worthy than other bikes at the price I'd say...

Also we both had a pair of 1/2 price 5:10 Freeriders too...
