Virtual Mo “MoCain” & “Nader” Shoes
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Aug 20, 2008 Last week Virtual Mø shared with us a pair of Nike Dunks that he worked up on Nike iD and personalized even more to support his choice for November, Barack Obama. To be “fair and balanced”, Mø worked up a pair of kicks for Republican-nominee and Presidential HOPEFUL John McCain dubbed the MøCain. It would not be authentic in the least to put McCain’s face one anything from the latter part of the 20th century so Mø chose a shoe that is perfectly fit for McCain. For those not up on “old people shoes”, these are American-made by San Antonio Shoes.
Giving a chance to the third party, a Ralph Nader Birkenstock clog was worked up as well. Keeping the Nader theme the clog is a Boston green with “GROW” inscribed on the straps. Legal ish: These are independent artistic creations by Virtual Mø and are not released, available or endorsed by Birkenstock, Ralph Nader, San Antonio Shoes, Sen. John McCain, or the Republican National Committee. |

I think you missed the point that it was a joke. Do you really think Nice Kicks is showing these shoes off as being something hot you need to go out and cop?

I can just see myself 40 years from now in my retirement community enjoy 18 holes of golf and sipping on a lemonade in the shade wearing Brut….. (the 1970’s version not this new BS they’re putting out)Reminiscing on the times that McCain, Cheney, Bush, and Condoleeza Rice had this country in great shape……… *saying to myself* “Things aint what they used to be.”
LMAO!!!! No matter who you support, get out there and vote.
Obama ‘08
Peace

Aug 20, 2008 at 8:20 pm
very ugly shoes
Aug 20, 2008 at 9:10 pm
abelino do you ever not hate on other ethnicities? seems every other post you do encompasses hate speech or is negative in some way please think before you type i’m sick and tired of your asinine comments.
Aug 20, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Apparently this went over people’s heads. Either this joke was way too complex of alot of you don’t follow politics.
Virtual Mo is an Obama supporter and made some Obama edition Dunks. The joke was that he made McCain shoes, but they are old people shoes. Also, Ralph Nader, former leader of the Green Party, had his face put on a Birkenstock clog.
I hope no one thinks that we thought the McCain sneakers were something good looking. The joke was that McCain is old and uncool, opposite of Obama.
Aug 20, 2008 at 9:51 pm
I agree with Bino COMMENT 17 It’s always hate or racist in Abelino statements but it not a problem who his comments are directed toward. The PROBLEM IS HIM something within that he ain’t happy with so it comes out as an attack on whoever to try to make himself feel better.
Aug 20, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Great observation Virtual Mo.
if more people had a sence of humor they would actually “get it”.
THINK BEFORE YOU POST.
OBAMA 08. PEACE.

hey nicekicks:
first of all i love your site and i dont really care who is on here, i enjoy interacting with all and find this place as a very informative “escape” for me while at work and at home.
but i think the comments on this post really show that some of these members are either very young (which i am not saying is a bad thing) or are scoring way low on the wit scale.
its funny the way these comments are looking i am half expecting some hyping this shoe up.
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:58 am
Mannnnnn I Wouldnt Dare Rock These Or Rather Buy Em
Aug 21, 2008 at 12:56 pm

Aug 21, 2008 at 1:36 pm
LMAO! I should do this for a living. Oh wait, I do.
These comments are classic. Glad most of you got it.

Aug 21, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Yeah all you people are voting for Obama for 1 of 3 reasons.
1. You are Black.
2. You think its the cool thing to do.
3. You are very very stupid.

Please take a poisonous pill and die! And who would you like to see in office, don’t say mcsilly either, unless you want to enlist right now, mcdumba$$ is a death sentance for this country right now.
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:16 pm
@ Maxwell:
You sir are truly ignorant and a bigot beyond imagination.
What you fail to understand is that a huge part of the reason Barack Obama’s success is WHITE PEOPLE!
Blacks only make up 12% of the population!!! And of that 12% how many do you think are:
Of age -
Registered to vote -
Eligible to vote -
And of those that meet requirements, its not a guarantee that they are voting for Obama.
Quit ASSUMING that blacks are voting for Obama because they are black….
Wake up PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aug 22, 2008 at 4:25 am
Well said. McCain just seems to be a pick for persons who agree with the war as long as they’re not in it. I wish I was old enough to vote…Shoes are hilarious though (i would rock the mccain with an uncle sam hat..lol)
OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!
Aug 22, 2008 at 8:55 am
I think the ralph nader birkenstock is even funnier then the macain shoe… the birkenstock really fit what he stands for lol. But u got to love how kids don’t even know what Obama’s campaign goals are yet want people to vote for him beacause he is black and/or their favorite clown of a celebrity is endorsing him. Also how everyone thinks Republicans are racsist. I will be voting for Obama but MaCain is not rascist nor is he a bad candidate, he is just very vague and does not have much personality. Anway, many of you guys are really ignorant and need to learn before you open your holes (pause) about politics, people take it seriously

NiceKicks.com, your source for hard-hitting political discussion.
Aug 23, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Obamas garbage. McCain all the way
Aug 24, 2008 at 10:23 am
these were very cleverly made. i think the mccain ones could go for any presidential candidate (besides obama) but the naders are right on with the whole Birkenstock thing.
