Adidas new designed; slavery kicks?

Adidas has launched a new collection of footwear that has received so much negative critics before it had hit the shelves, that the company has decided to pull them. The JS Roundhouse Mids, the sportswear company's newest addition of zany Jeremy Scott shoe collaboration. The footwear features shackles, and many people are saying it's reference to slavery is insensitive. Personal Opinion; I don't see what is wrong with the kicks, I mean they aren't the best looking design, however Adidas is running a business, they need ways of promoting new products, this is simply saying that you will fall so deep in love with them, you won't want to take it off, so what's the big deal? On its Facebook page, a rep wrote: “Got a sneaker game so hot, you lock your kicks to your ankles?” So, what do you think? Are the Roundhouse Mids just an instance of creativity gone wrong…and would you buy ‘em?! Really don't understand the meaning of FREEDOM if a company isn't free to release any design they choose.
