I’ve been researching online (and off) for the absolute best pair of tennis shoes I can afford that will make my feet feel like heaven, or at least offer way more support than my poor little New Balance’s are giving me at the moment. Being the ever so helpful website it is, Facebook offered me a suggestion in the right sidebar of my page of an athletic shoe guaranteed to provide me with 85% less pain in my feet AND be able to defy gravity.
There’s just one issue I have with this shoe. Look closely and please tell me what YOU think is wrong with this picture. And WHY, pray tell, would anyone think this was a smooth branding move for a shoe? (Or maybe it is because I’m wigging out and it obviously got MY attention.)
Also taking your suggestions in comments on good tennis shoes to invest in.

I definitely don't want sperm of any kind on my shoes.

Oh my! Well, that would have given my students something to talk about when I was teaching sex ed in an all girls private school 😉 Can you tell men were involved in this and were not thinking?!

Snicker.
I didn't even notice it until you said something. Marketing and design FAIL!
I love my New Balance 561s but I notice I need 1/2 to 1 full size bigger than what I normally wear.

Maybe because sperm is fast?
It's right up there with Apple's "ipad."
Buffie says
Why would you want to wear a shoe with a pink sperm on the side of it? Or am I the only one seeing that?
