care-o-meter just hit a new rock bottom
Why would you hack a company that makes shoes and sports equipment? How is that useful [b]AT ALL[/b]
[quote]Adidas websites go offline after [b]hacking cyber-attack[/b][/quote] what the fuck
But why? Adidas makes good stuff and they haven't done anything wrong
[QUOTE=TheCloak;33155002]But why? Adidas makes good stuff and they haven't done anything wrong[/QUOTE] Shoes should not be over $150 unless they're made of carbon steel nanofiber and can fly

Adidas makes good stuff and they haven't done anything wrong[/QUOTE] [quote]As with the majority of prolific brand-based transnationals, Adidas's business practises/ethics and commitment to worker welfare have been scrutinised and often criticised.[/quote] Luck of the draw, I guess.
[QUOTE=DireAvenger;33155079]Shoes should not be over $150 unless they're made of carbon steel nanofiber and can fly[/QUOTE] do you even understand the concept of running shoes
[QUOTE=Mr.Dounut;33155194]do you even understand the concept of running shoes[/QUOTE] I'm forced to spend all my time at a school with little to no space to move around in. I'll [b]NEVER[/b] understand the concept of running shoes. [b]OR RUNNING.[/b]
[QUOTE=Mr.Dounut;33155194]do you even understand the concept of running shoes[/QUOTE] Gimmicks and advertising that give you the feeling that, through means not understood by man, you can suddenly run better than you previously could?
[QUOTE=JustGman;33155477]Gimmicks and advertising that give you the feeling that, through means not understood by man, you can suddenly run better than you previously could?[/QUOTE] No, it means that they are comfortable when you run. Although 150 of any currency (except yen and that other one) is much too much to pay for shoes
[QUOTE=Icedshot;33155803]No, it means that they are comfortable when you run. Although 150 of any currency (except yen and that other one) is much too much to pay for shoes[/QUOTE] 150 NOK for a pair of shoes is fucking cheap. That's 27 USD. [QUOTE=JustGman;33155477]Gimmicks and advertising that give you the feeling that, through means not understood by man, you can suddenly run better than you previously could?[/QUOTE] Some gimmick some truth. Running shoes, jogging shoes and walking shoes are all differently made when it comes to how they'll fit your feet, not to mention what surface you're going to use them on. Having bad shoes for the use can cause a lot of pain for your feet, especially if you use them for training and not just casual walking or running to catch the bus. By having the right shoes you'll get more out of your training as your feet won't be in pain. It's just like how you'll have giant amounts of pain in your feet if you do your training on pure flat cement instead of on a gym floor.
Looks like the chinese sweatshops are looking for new designs to make.

[QUOTE=Mr.Dounut;33155194]do you even understand the concept of running shoes[/QUOTE] Funny thing is the best running shoes out there is bare feet, because the human foot isn't built around wearing shoes. The concept of running shoes is to make money off people like you. They make you think they'll let you 'run faster' but no, that's bullshit, nothing is better than a run with your natural, evolved feet, how it was intended to be. So next time you're on a track, don't use shoes. Plus, wearing shoes makes your feet weak and screws with your knees.
[quote]Adidas has taken its website content offline after suffering what it described as a "[B]sophisticated[/B], criminal cyber-attack".[/quote] Funny how often "cyber-attacks" are described as sophisticated and turn out just to be a regular DoS attack.

Run out in the forest and you'll get all sorts of shit sticking itself into your foot and through your skin and flesh. Run on cement and you'll ruin your foot because there is too much resistance and the ground is too flat. But run on grass or any flat natural surface and you'll be better off without shoes. The best shoes are those expensive ones that are shaped like your feet, so it's almost like putting on a sock. My sister got one of those for her birthday, says it feels like running bare-feet but you avoid sticks and stones that pain you.

That's why its good to train your feet to run like that, otherwise you'll feel like ass.
[QUOTE=DireAvenger;33155079]Shoes should not be over $150 unless they're made of carbon steel nanofiber and can fly[/QUOTE] and have power laces, cant forget that

That's why its good to train your feet to run like that, otherwise you'll feel like ass.[/QUOTE] You'll get a thicker skin. But it won't make it better to run on concrete for you. Concrete is manmade and is not in any way natural, it's hard, it's straight and only gives resistance and says FUCK YOU to your foots natural shape. You can become more resistant to it, but it will never be good for you to run on it barefeet. It will ruin your foot if you do it too often. But once in a while and such is obviously completely harmless. But if you set in a workout routine where you chose to run on concrete everytime barefeet, then, goodbye foot.

9/11 all over again!!
[QUOTE=IdiotStorm;33156533]they removed Linux support for their shoes[/QUOTE] So that's why I've been having trouble getting 3.1 to run on my new pair.
I hate the term 'cyber', just reading it annoys me.
if you wouldnt pay over 150 for a decent pair of shoes you're gaf

They are weights designed to prevent light speed.
