Adidas has launched a new shoe, with a design that bears the name of Barcelona and the colors of the flag of Spain, which has generated a flurry of criticism on social networks for the independence conflict in Catalonia.

This is the Ultraboost DNA Barcelona model and its sole and tongue are decorated in the colors red, yellow and red. The controversial sneakers, which cost 180 dollars, can only be purchased through online stores of the multinational, although they are not available on all the multinational’s web pages, as is the case of the Spanish one.

Apparently with this model, the aim was to pay tribute to the countries that have hosted the Olympic Games. In addition to Barcelona, ​​which hosted this sporting event in 1992, cities such as Montreal, Sydney and Tokyo have also been paid tribute.

The digital portal Sneaker News echoed of the news, and user reactions were immediate and many Catalans were upset.

“The colors of the DNA Barcelona model do not represent the Catalan capital. It is an offense and they will not be successful (…) We expect an immediate rectification, “says one user, who along with the photo of the shoe attached, another of the Catalan flag.
