Whilst I like the idea of promoting unity, I get the feeling if you wore these sneakers you wouldn't be welcome in either Blood or Crips territory. Having said that, you'll all probably be laughing at me when it turns out these sneakers manage to end decades of violence and tribalism.
On the sneakers themselves, I love K-Dot, but I just can't see how those sneakers look any of fashionable, hip, or gangster. They'd probably make a decent running shoe, but I just don't get the feeling that's the ideal demographic they should be aiming for here... Good Kid B.A.A.D. marketing strategy.
My concern is that kids get shot for these, which would negate Lamar's plan. Also, white is much easier to visibly mar - "EY YO MANG YOU SCUFFED MY SHOE".
Yeah, the off white dadcore feel to them, makes me feel like they could be popular in a sort of hipster demographic maybe. Definitely not people in the ghetto.

But he definitely gets points for effort.
