Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Nice Reeboks!

[–]Feed_Me_Upvotes 5 points6 points ago

They're obviously Vans

[–]SuperPowers97 0 points1 point ago

You're both wrong. Those are some cool Chucks though.

[–]farfletched 20 points21 points ago

It's common for people to think that sporting goods sold in markets are knock offs. I've been quite fortunate though, got a solid pair of adigas trainers and a pair of mike socks for just under half price! Sorted.

[–]fornicationist 3 points4 points ago

I just picked up last year's Gordans from the clearance rack!

[–]Damage1200 105 points106 points ago

Yeah, especially those crudely sewed on red circles... -_-

[–]dotsau 36 points37 points ago

I raise you Facebook sneakers in Palestine.

[–]hthu 14 points15 points ago

Protesters throw them at israeli tanks when the news cameras are running, so they get paid by facebook for the product placement.

[–]camanderpoopiepance 3 points4 points ago

I cannot believe that is even a thing

[–]schnitzel 2 points3 points ago

Look the best if worn to the local Stars & Bucks

[–]SecretlyBadass 3 points4 points ago

Those actually look really cool, if they were sold in the US without the Facebook logo I'd buy them.

Even with the FB logo I'd probably buy them. It'd be fun to mess with people and tell them that FB really does sell sneakers now

[–]scumbubble 0 points1 point ago

Where did you find this? I'm so buying a pair.

[–]dotsau 0 points1 point ago

I didn't. This guy did (you'll need Google Translate, unless you know Russian).

He also found Gmail and YouTube flip-flops in Sri-Lanka.

[–]scumbubble 0 points1 point ago

shweet. So happy I'm going to Canaan in a couple of months.

[–]GrippinThaGrain 25 points26 points ago

Thanks for circling it

[–]cupaloop 19 points20 points ago

Yeah, I wouldn't have noticed either

[–]hilarioussagittarius 10 points11 points ago

Would someone please indicate the circles with a large square enclosure?

[–]cupaloop 16 points17 points ago

http://imgur.com/6kj2M

You're welcome!

[–]defenestrator13 8 points9 points ago

but one of those isn't a square, just a rectangle

[–]Kuhplah 2 points3 points ago

Oh hush you.

[–]GinjaNinger 10 points11 points ago

One of my supervisors was stationed in Korea - said you could get any type of shoe/clothing you wanted. Want a Nike-Reebok jacket? YOU GOT IT. I kind of want to go there, just so I could come back with some crazy infringement gear.

[–]random_story -4 points-3 points ago

Or you could do what they do, and buy...patches.

[–]dotcaIm 21 points22 points ago

Ahh I see the new Nik-didas are in.

[–]DoubleTrump 24 points25 points ago

I prefer Adikes

[–]believethis45 4 points5 points ago

It would seem the Chinese sweatshops played a trick on you.

[–]Frank91915 2 points3 points ago

Hybrid?

[–]nullibicity 2 points3 points ago

It's one of those mashups all the kids are into.

[–]benzenoid 6 points7 points ago

yep. they "just did it"

[–]do0d1e 1 point2 points ago

I went to a Russian flea market once and watched the guy rip off the seams and shoe-side panels (for lack of vocabulary ATM) so that a new layer of a completely different shoe came through. Fucking brilliant.

[–]letsroll 1 point2 points ago

So, like a Russian Matryoshka doll shoe?

[–]do0d1e 1 point2 points ago

Haha, no no no. Like say it looked like a normal plain white pair of reebok high tops with black bottoms. he cut the seams out of each and ripped off the white leather pieces to unsheathe a completely new shoe, most likely more expensive too, but it matched the black bottoms. my friend tried taking a video, but he stopped and got russian-angry. oops.

Does anyone else think that the Chinese (and all other counterfeiters) do this to troll the world?

[–]tap112 2 points3 points ago

I would have bought the fuck out of those.

[–]electricoast 2 points3 points ago

Also, chicken adobo is legit.

[–]TheDurrKing 0 points1 point ago

I want that shirt. Source?

[–]electricoast 0 points1 point ago

Saw it in real life, so it's up to you to google 'chicken adobe shirt' and seek one out.

[–]TheDurrKing 0 points1 point ago

It just seems the cool shirts you guys see/ have are only available from highly dangerous secret baboon cults in the underground lairs in North Korea.

[–]w00tkid 2 points3 points ago

They come in a Puma box.

[–]Doomsdayclock148 0 points1 point ago

Two for the price of one! Sounds like a steal!

[–]queuedUp 0 points1 point ago

but will they help me run faster?

[–]PotatosOgratin 0 points1 point ago

I'd rock em

[–]love_scene_girls 1 point2 points ago

Ah. Lovely. There was a place up the road from me back in the day that sold "Okleys", "Rai Bans" and "Niike" shoes.

[–]Solarnynja -1 points0 points ago

Godamnit Korea

[–]sculptedpixels 1 point2 points ago

It's a hybrid. More efficient, better mileage.

[–]Damasticator 1 point2 points ago

Nikidas.

[–]j_fletch 0 points1 point ago

where can I get a pair of these?

[–]Seasickdwarf 1 point2 points ago

The check mark on the side is just confirming that they are indeed Adidas.

[–]Iraqi272 0 points1 point ago

You should visit any market in the developing world. When I was in Irbil, Iraq, I saw brands like Addidos, Niki, Ipohone, Sonny, Cola Drink, etc. It was pretty hilarious.

[–]ra_grand 0 points1 point ago

Adidike?

[–]mjolnir616 0 points1 point ago

The long awaited collaboration!

[–]MrZakius -1 points0 points ago

Seeing by the ridiculous amount of jpeg artifacts, this picture is older than the internet.

[–]SignLogic -1 points0 points ago

Thanks for circling the logos. I would of never figured it out

[–]theamazing_python 0 points1 point ago

I once knew a guy who had shoes with the Nike Swoosh backwards...

[–]Living_Dead_Girl 0 points1 point ago

Oh Walmart, you so silly.

[–]theginger041 1 point2 points ago

You had ONE job...

[–]OhThatNeal -1 points0 points ago

Thats a very rare Nikddas shoe.

[–]nomadcat 0 points1 point ago

well..."Nothing is Impossible" right?

[–]TBANmc 0 points1 point ago

Well the original founders are/were brothers...

[–]solargatorade -1 points0 points ago

DOUBLE WHAMMY!

[–]bwever 1 point2 points ago

The laborer got sold to Nike before they finished the shoe.

[–]TheNativeRaver 0 points1 point ago

I would sport a pair just to be different.

[–]anoano 0 points1 point ago

I see those all of the time in the Mexican flea markets. I tried on a pair one time, they were so poorly made that I could barely walk

[–]DeadNotSleeping89 -1 points0 points ago

Those shoes are kind of adike.

[–]YoungPwnage 0 points1 point ago

Oh shit! Double SWAG!

[–]CoolCat90 1 point2 points ago

So you're telling me you've never heard of Nididas™ before, they're the shit.

[–]jchhiminey 0 points1 point ago

same factory, that kid making those needs some 1st world probs

[–]Pantoush 0 points1 point ago

Impossible...Do it.

[–]SanJose_Sharks 0 points1 point ago

In 1992, Adidas and Nike briefly merged and produced shoes for exactly 4 days before Nike reneged and completely voided the deal.

Only 80 pairs of the shoes pictured in the OP were produced. They are worth $12,000 because of the fact that they included both logos and because of the limited production.

Hopefully OP bought those shoes, or she just flushed $12,000 down the toilet.

[–]TuneRaider 0 points1 point ago

Seems legit.

[–]Cognoggin -1 points0 points ago

Captain: "It appears to be some sort of shoe..."

Tony: "Well you're not wrong..."

[–]Jonny_Watts 1 point2 points ago

This shoe gets you all the pussy.

There's a 6 year old in China getting a ass whoppin tonight.

[–]mish15 -1 points0 points ago

Buy those.

[–]mrpopenfresh 0 points1 point ago

Chances are it's the same manufacturing plant that made brand names, so I wouldn't be afraid for the quality.

[–]diver22 0 points1 point ago

Some little 4 year old is gonna lose their job

[–]dodge1 -1 points0 points ago

The new Nikaddidas have finally been released.

[–]JFLATT 0 points1 point ago

Damn. I bet some sweat shop kid got a beating for that.

[–]whit_wolf1 0 points1 point ago

2 logos for the price of 1!!

[–]Ri7e 0 points1 point ago

I once possessed a pair of "Nike Adidas" shoes where on the logo of Adidas is sitting on top of the Nike logo. I never felt so badass in that point of my life

[–]jag424 0 points1 point ago

YOU HAD ONE JOB!!!

[–]jk01 0 points1 point ago

That's a very nice Photoshop you have there

[–]JazzyDan 0 points1 point ago

I really needed those circles

[–]Leon1das -1 points0 points ago

Somebody just lost their job making 8 cents an hour.

[–]geoken -1 points0 points ago

Nikes and addidas on the same shoe. That seems like a great deal.

[–]there_wreck -2 points-1 points ago

you get two for the price of one!

[–]Simple_Technique 0 points1 point ago

I'm so happy you circled the two logos... I would have never figured out what I was looking at other wise. You have my thanks

[–]mapkinase -1 points0 points ago

Reminds me of this:

[–]Mastadge 3 points4 points ago

What does that have anything to do with shoes?

[–]hmh006 2 points3 points ago

he just said it reminds him of that sculpture... we don't know the twisted things he has in the head.

[–]AwesomeOrca 0 points1 point ago

I think he's referring to the fact the sculpture has 5 legs and and that somebody fucked up.

[–]mapkinase 0 points1 point ago

Change of angle / change of perspective

[–]peccadillop 1 point2 points ago

Some people care only about the brand. So more the better :P

[–]random_story 0 points1 point ago

I love seeing this. Seriously, fuck Nike and Adidas. I hope the people who toiled away sewing up those shoes make some money.
