surely only a nazi would design a symbol like that
and those colors are very clearly Ukrainian nationalism-coded lmao
btw this is one of those bullshit brands that only has one product and only exists as an Amazon seller

Yeah. All shoes are fascist except barefoot shoes, which are only socialist in theory.
Honestly its really hard to make rotationaly symmetric symbols without accidentally resembling a swastika or sonnenrad. It gets the benefit of the doubt from me.
I remember reading a theory that these swirling symbols are unavoidable in human art because when we observe the stars and follow their movement these are the shapes they make due to the wiggle of the earth’s axis. It was in a book from the 1890’s so IDK if it was just made up but I like the idea
I think the trick is to use more rounded and curved shapes instead of hard angles
for example, I wouldn’t tend to think “fascism” when looking at a traditional triskele
but contrast that with the nazi versions of the triskele: (CW for nazi hate symbols)
actually that 2nd one is pretty similar to the shoe logo, hmmm
Fashoest
I’ve been making strategy game maps lately, so I’ve been freshly reacquainted with how every time you try to make a rotationally symmetric thing, there’s like a 50% chance you accidentally make a swastika and have to start over. So I’m inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, at this moment.
Every city builder where you want a bunch of buildings to get a buff from one building but still have road access
That looks like a military shade of green, kinda sus to me
damn i like military green (and other earth tones)
Me with my new olive green/gum/black sambas
Honestly it looks like the GameCube logo so if it is a fascist symbol, gg you got me
gamecube logo is innocent (though, Nintendo is not)
and yeah this isn’t an actual fascist symbol, it’s just giving that vibe
The shoe is fascist because it looks too Ukrainian.
As we know, if something is green then it is immediately Ukrainian and if something is Ukrainian then it is immediately fascist. Lenin wrote extensively on this.
I wouldn’t have mentioned Ukraine if it was just green, it’s the combination of yellow-on-military green that I found very reminiscent of that shirt Zelensky is always wearing. maybe a stretch but I feel like whoever designed this was inspired by Ukrainian military wear, intentionally or not. & I wouldn’t say everything from Ukraine is fascist but their military has certainly aligned itself with neo-nazis
it was really the symbol that felt fashy to me more than anything though. hard geometric lines and rotational symmetry will always make me think of nazi symbols. like “copy my homework but don’t make it too obvious” but with a swastika
