Bootleg Obama shoes busted in Brooklyn
So if Obama gets Nike Airs, can I get some Michael Steele Rebook Pumps out there somewhere? I mean, c’mon, if one guy’s got “Yes We Can” shoes his opponent’s gotta have a pair that are all like “No You Can’t!”
Yes, they can slap President Obama’s image on fake Nike sneakers. No, they can’t get away with it.
Six knockoff product dealers were busted Friday after investigators found the Obama sneakers in 123 storage bins crammed with fake Prada and Coach handbags.
“It’s frankly just disrespectful to have the President of the United States depicted on this sneaker,” Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said. “Just absolutely disgraceful.”

Better for a politician’s image to be slapped on some sneakers, than some flip-flops, IMO…
