Nice try, Adidas. Hopefully no one has forgotten the severance pay you owe millions of Latin Americans and death threats against unions.

This is so very fake

yessssss. thank you.

Shit... Maybe I need to work on my observational skills I didn't even realize they were both women

People tend to notice things that piss them off, justified or not.

Fair enough

Yeap.. it's pretty shitty. :(

Ahh. Then I must improve my bigotry!

This is dumb, this day isn't about love, it's a marketing campaign to sell hallmark carfs
spiderqueendemon
I consider the day to be Discount Chocolate Eve.
ignimbrite
AKA Cheap Chocolate Day.
spiderqueendemon
*nods* There are several on the calendar. Discount Pink Chocolate Eve with Hearts, Discount Chocolate Egg Day, and so on.
JayTheUnicorn
No, this is a day that aims to fuck with your monthly budget- even if you're single (all those post14th chocolate sales)

This is what you call "low hanging fruit"

No, I believe they're both girls.

Does anyone ever wonder if these are faked?

This is either from last year or not real, go look at their instagram page.

Another comment, someone did some digging and said it was a year old.
Vaanhalen
So I was pretty sure it was a guy with shaved legs and a girl. Hard to not see that. But I'm guessing the haters are plants- too contrived.
Gadamnit69
is this the pic of the guy thats just bending over?

I'm more disturbed in the fact they aren't wearing socks with their shoes.

Adidas is lying. It has nothing to do with love. It's about selling stuff. With that said, if this advertising bothers you, grow up.
SgtChowdown
You realize that St. Valentine's Day was a thing for centuries, aye?
WorkBeerRepeat
You realize the picture is simply two women wearing Adidas products appearing to be possibly kissing or hugging, aye?
FrankTheTalkingRabbit
It bothers me..... mainly because they could have paid someone to respond negatively to it so they could take pictures of their responses.
FrankTheTalkingRabbit
I mean it looks like they responded very quickly after the negative comments... it's clearly just trying to showboat popular ideas.
FrankTheTalkingRabbit
And that bothers me because they could just as easily be marketing based off hate if that were trending
WorkBeerRepeat
Although I'll admit its possible, that's beyond the level of cynicism that I'm willing to allow myself to be lol.

Men can't enjoy the smoothness of shaved legs? What if it's a man and a woman? Or two men? We have very little to go on here.

I find it sexy. Swimmers get rid of everything from the neck down and they are a turn on too.

Swimmers are just floating heads.

My only gripe is that they, like 90% of corporations, only got on board with LGBT once it was socially and financially profitable to do so.
KharnApproves
Just like the rest of America? Remember the 90s? Fucking everyone was against gay marriage, myself included I'm ashamed to admit.

Gay lady here, and I totally don't care. Better late and for capitalist reasons than never.

People not caring about "whys" or "whats" and generally only looking out for their own agendas to get pushed is how we ended up with Trump.

White Americans thinking that other people's civil rights are "an agenda" is how we got Trump.

Big corporations are not people, and they are certainly not your friends, even those you like.

Not for their squat-friendly tracksuit department who probably want to murder the social media department for this.

That makes them a major force for good in today's world, and equine dentistry isn't my thing.

because it was not financially viable to do so, problem is when you go looking to corperations for morality
PMmeYourFeetLadies
Correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure that Germany has been one of the most gay-friendly countries in the world for quite some time
AskingTheRealQuestions
Adidas may be German, but it's not Germany. I don't really see the connection.
PMmeYourFeetLadies
Thanks for the downvote. If Adidas is a German company, then yes, it is Germany.
AskingTheRealQuestions
I did not downvote you. And nope, Adidas still isn't Germany. It's a multinational company based in Germany.

I don't even know what point you are trying to argue anymore.

I especially hate gay couples with matching clothes. You could have doubled your wardrobe but you bought the same thing?! Weak.

Why especially gay couples though?

Because of same "gendered" clothing I guess.
NexiKuro
Because clearly they can all wear eachothers clothes, don't you know all clothes are one size fits all but only fit one gender? /s

As half of a gay couple, sometimes it just happens. You come home and you realize, damn, we have the same button up. Longer between laundry!

Atomic2
Am I the only one that thinks this is pandering? Maybe unpopular opinion.
PMMeYourPopplios
Kinda. They're appealing to the minority, not really good for business but they can avoid triggered people.
SkiMaskThePlumpGod
Is it the minority tho? Their target demographic is people under 50 and most of them believe in gay/trans rights.
PMMeYourPopplios
I thought they were trying to appeal to gay/lesbian people with that ad
FlyingTigerRose
Including, not pandering. (Thank you@LegitTeddyBears)
Atomic2
Including is one thing but I think they try to showcase them like they have something to prove. Like having a token minority on a college ad
FlyingTigerRose
Have to disagree, there. After a lifetime of seeing only one representation on tv/radio/films (shows, ads, etc.), gotta say I enjoy (1/2)
LegitTeddyBears
It's inclusivity, ads are meant to relate to people in order to sell them products.
Atomic2
Yea I'm all for it, but its so obvious when they're showcasing it like its something unusual.

Morgan freeman said this about racism, but he basically just said we end it by not bringing attention to it.

I didn't know it was two women either.

Also, maybe she is just helping her with her hair. But I guess it's easier to say they are kissing which is much easier to do with Adidas on

Can never be 100% certain, but it's pretty obvious. Knees, musculature, ankles, lack of leg hair. Proportion of foot size, etc.
vanella
So you're saying us females have small, petite, cute feet and therefor shoes? :) You couldn't be more wrong, but other than that, I agree
QuaqueNocte
Yes, statistically speaking women have small feet (compared to men). No one said it applied to every single woman.

Women have large feet, the shoes industry cater to them, the running shoe industry does not....
VictarionsCrispyArm
Seriously? Lol why is it wrong to say women are anatomically different from men? I don't know any women with bigger feet than my guy friends
QuaqueNocte
But they're still statistically smaller than men, even if we're only talking about USA or UK. Globally, it's a bigger difference.

Dude shaved his legs - for aerodynamics. Dragging leg hairs through the breeze slows him down. Plus, women's shoes are lighter... IDK...

If a dudes legs looked like that he'd be a total fucking fag, so probably would have made the advert. Still confused

Pretty clear both are women's legs. You need to get laid dude.

Feminine legs imo. And not because they both shave.

As a woman why do you wear mens shoes? Your logic is ridiculous lol

A runner once told me that the sole is shaped a bit differently for wo/men. idk if that's just marketing or real science.

I mean, they're all technically unisex. Shoes are shoes. But women's tend to have more purple and pink.
ACatnippedKitty
Ahh, thanks. All running shoes look the same to me, I didn't know there was a difference
textilelover
I have no clue if there actually is a difference, I just saw what was marketed as a woman's shoe by the people who created the ad.
MouseBalls
In the US shoe sizes are different for men's and women's. I wear 8.5 in women's, but 7 in men's, and I think men's are a little wider.

Same. I've picked up a few womens shoes in the shop before, got weird looks when I ask for my size

Yeah sneakers are pretty unisex, really, especially now with men's & women's coming in bright colors like pink, purple, & neon green.
B4k4Black
Sizes are different but other than that
PoopFrosting
technically the only difference is in marketing. "this is the girl shoe! this is the boy shoe!" type of stuff.

Technically, you're fucking stupid, ignorant, hive mind that doesn't know how biology works and will shout "equality" where there's none.

1) I don't think that's true. Proportions of women's feet are different. Also the average body weight, meaning different cushioning compound
Coykoi23518
They could still style two different shoes the same. Even between men there are different foot types. High arch low arch etc.
DarkwingDuc
2) would be optimal, and that's before we get into the different stride, hip rotation, stabilization, etc. They'd certainly wear different.
DukeDarkwood
Well, look at all the pink on it; of COURSE they're girls! It is physically impossible to put pink apparel on a male. Everyone knows that!

Color preference is a biological constuct not a sociological, your eyes detect and brain interpret as a "positive feel". Rest is statistics.

Presumably the GP is talking about the style rather than the exact shape and fit, which are pretty hard to determine from just this picture.

Still bad logic. a) many shoes are sold unisex/same style for both men's and women's shoes, b) many people use shoes meant for other gender

i found out when my shoes arrived that i had ladies shoes. never picked a gender got adressed as ms bob. shoes are fine though

There's no souch thing as a "unisex shoe" that's healthy to the person using it properly. Using shoes designed for opposite sex is harmful.

Quite a few "barefoot" shoes are unisex. Also other flat-bottom type shoes. Several running shoes I know are sold more for foot types, (1)

My ex boyfriend shaved his legs lol. He always said he liked the smoothness.

Not just the no hair. They also look like women's legs in shape.

Why would runners shave legs? Does it make spandes easier or something?

You don't have to be offended to not participate in something. I don't go to Target because they allow trans in whatever bathroom they want,
Leithoa
So you were fine when the 'pedophiles' were contained in the men's room w. young boys? Why do you care who's in the stall next to you?
MLBFAN36
Of course not. The difference is that Target wasn't actively inviting pedophiles to use their bathrooms.

Why do you care who is in the stall next to you?

I don't care who's next to me. I do, however, care who's next to my mom, grandmothers, aunts, and my future wife and children.
