Williariya is sorry after the shoes cultural allocation class

American fashion designer Willie Chavarya apologized after a shoe was criticized in cooperation with Adidas Orinealz for the “cultural seizure”.

Oaxaca was inspired by traditional leather sandals known as Huaraches, which was made by indigenous craftsmen in Mexico.

The Mexican President was among those who spoke against the shoes, which were reported in China without consulting or credit for societies that arose in the design.

“I am very sorry because the shoe was allocated in this design and was not developed in a direct and significant partnership with the Oksakan community,” Shafaria said in a statement sent to the BBC. BBC called Adidas to comment.

Cultural credits are defined as “unrecognized or not suitable adoption, practices, ideas, society, or society by members of a more dominant people or society.”

“The major companies often take products, ideas and designs from indigenous population societies,” Mexico President Claudia Shinbom said at a press conference.

“We look at the legal part to be able to support them,” she added.

Mexico Culture Minister Marina Nunez added that Adidas had contacted the officials of Oakakan to discuss “the recovery for the people who were impersonated.”

The promotional photos of the open black shoes were dropped from the soles of the feet from the brand’s social media accounts as well as Shafia.

In his statement, Shafari said he wanted to “talk from the heart about the otaxaka slip that I created with Adidas.”

“It was always the intention to honor the strong cultural and artistic spirit of Okaka and its creative societies – a place that inspired me its beauty and resistance. The name Oakaka is not just a word – its living culture, people and history.”

He went on to say that he was “very sorry” that did not work with the Oksakan community on design.

“This is no less than the respect and cooperative approach that Oxaka deserves, the Zapotik community in the Hidalgo Villa Yallaj, and its people deserve.”

“I know that love is not only given – it is obtained through work.”

Shafaria was the first vice president of Calvin Klein until 2024, and he is the founder and chief creative official in his distinguished brand.

Adidas did not respond to the BBC request for comment.

the Associated Press I mentioned that Adidas responded to the Mexican authorities in a Friday message.

According to the company, the company said that it was “in depth the cultural wealth of indigenous Mexico members and recognizes the importance of” criticism, and asked to sit to talk about how to “repair damage” to indigenous societies.
