to own moments
because of the fear.
It doesn't make sense.
Like the whole point
of why you gave
athletes shoes
is because
it sold a product
based on the world
were creating before
you called it world
building, right?
want to buy the shoe
that the athlete
that you love wore
you feel closer
to them.
And lover or hater,
she's created
these brands
should be agnostic
to the politics
when it's not,
insane politics
Like she's someone
that's created
massive hype
and massive moments
on the internet
a lot of people
that love her.
the whole point
they gave
these athletes shoes,
is because
to sell them
to a large number of people.
It makes basic sense.
To me, it's
heartwarming
to see Adidas
of another moment.
They actually identified
a powerful brand
and latched onto it
right reasons.

But it makes me
really frustrated
on behalf of
