Nike are believed to be making a new shoe for global citizens wanting to show disrepect to visiting dignitories.
Known as the Nike Air Diplomat, it will feature a casual style and look, but with some important features for the protestor:
easy to take off design
aerodynamic for dispatch through the air
handles for accuracy in throwing

Of course, the shoes will be made in China by young women from poor provinces.
