Girl are weird about somethings. I saw this girl a few times and it all seems to fall apart after she found out she had the same frist name as my dog. I have fat dutch feet where are my shoes? Just to keep it on thread.

I’ll tell Phil when I see him. LOL Right after I tell him that we need a fountain in our courtyard.

We have some HUGE basketball shoes sitting around...custom shoes I guess.

You found them too. lol. I have a pair of Rockport hightops, I call them Chuka’s. They are a boot and I could only find them in 14EEE but they stretched right out and fit nicely now....no blowouts. :) Nike can totally keep those sneakers, my Rockports are more durable and more comfortable than sneakers.

Good thing Nike came along to sell the Indians footwear, they have been waiting millennia for this new invention. /sarc

OK, now I understand why I've always had trouble finding shoes that fit well! My Daddy was part Cherokee, though we're not sure how much. His profile looked just like the Indian on the Buffalo Nickel! In fact, his CD handle used to be 'Nickel Nose'. LOL!

Wonder if Nike will market them to other folks later?

Mmmm...inspirational. $70 shoes with $5 worth of materials made with the loving hands of slave labor. I’m in for a pair...

seriesly, i don’t think ethnicity has a bit to do with shoe sizes

It doesn't affect our looks, either. /s

Really, though, some ethnic groups have different shaped feet, too.

Think about it.

I remember avoiding buying climbing boots made by European manufacturers because the lasts the boots were constructed on were shaped for a narrower foot and the boots would not fit me right.

My observations around here in Phoenix lead me to believe that the real Indian marketing opportunity would be Lazy Boy recliners. That or liposuction.

i am sure the indians are thrilled to know that nike has publicly announced they have big feet.

how about they design a show for whites that has the novelty of not being advertised by a 8 foot tall black basketball player? but then, perhaps they already do and i just have not seen that ad campaign

please note i am being sarcastic there. just sayin....

So when are they going to roll out the Air Slavemaster? White people need shoes too.

Does it come in 5.5? I have a small wide foot, which are very tender due to fibromyalgia and osteo arthritis.

Nike produces fine products and gainfully employs many people so I won’t moccasin-gle thing they do....

The 2 oz removable compartment in the heel which can be used to hold “firewater” is a nice feature.

Good thing they called it Native American or they could be Siouxed.

Does it come in a Blackfoot Model?
