Adidas Can Make Classy Nerd Apparel When It Wants To
 |
?Happily, Adidas decided that it wanted to make non-awful shirts and hoodies and such for Tron: Legacy. There’s even a pair of Tron: Legacy sneakers that are pretty awesome (although inexplicably not on the official Adidas site). So my question is, why did they make these horrors? Are there two twins in charge of product design, one twin tall and fair and good-looking with decent fashion sense, and one gnarled and shrunken twin with a cold black heart who tries to inflict pain on the world by making half-gold, half-white Star Wars sneakers? I don’t know. Cool shirts, though. (Via Geeks of Doom)
