Due to the exorbitant price tags that they come with, copies of premium sneakers are commonplace. With the demand at an all-time high, minor differences easily make it past the casual observer. But, what happens when the difference is so astounding, and the result so hilarious, that it leaves everyone shocked? That is the scenario a particular Michael Jordan-Lite shoe found itself in.
The picture made its way online thanks to a post by user @_theladymo. Rather than the usual AIR Jordan logo, the sneaker features a rather peculiar design on the tongue. Instead of Dunkman, a squatting person is the centerpiece of the sneaker.
