Nike SB Dunk Low “Black & Tan”
Originally Launched: 2012
Reason for Controversy: Nickname
Nike recently took criticism for the unofficial nickname of??Black & Tan? SB Dunk Low. The nickname was meant to honor St. Patrick?s Day and play off the popular drink; however, the term ‘Black and Tan’ also refers to a British parliament group that violently attacked the Irish civilian population. Nike apologized for the unintended insensitivity, but reiterated that they did not create the nickname. The makeup still released.
