Marketing a "tactical" balaclava whilst being a black model...

Metro: Nike accused of cashing in on London gang culture with £70 balaclava

"Nike has been accused of cashing in on London’s gang culture with their sold out £70 balaclavas.

People have slammed the brand after images of a black model wearing the Nike x MMW head garment, which includes what looks like a gun holster, started circulating online.

YouTuber Mr DT took to Twitter: ‘This is not right. I think you’ve made a big mistake on this one targeting the current gang culture for profit, there’s 100s of dead kids parents that you should be thinking about before you make these, let alone put them out for sale.’.

Comedian White Yardie shared a video of his reaction to the garment, saying it looked like Nike was ‘targeting’ and ‘exploiting’ youths involved in gang crime – and that it needs to stop.

He said: ‘With all the recent stabbings we’ve been seeing in London, this is definitely not something we want to see.

‘Let’s be real the only people who will go and buy these are young people involved in gangs. Too much young people are dead and too much young people are doing the killings.’"

Actually, I'd say the other sort of people guaranteed to buy such a ridiculous item would be pretentious wankers, but there you go...
