Here's another lesson in being thankful Ohio State is a Nike school: ADIDAS released some Miami shoes today that I thought were a parody shared by a Swedish #teen hacker in control of ADIDAS' twitter account:
Swagger, its a Canes thing. Starting in September the 305 will be faster than ever. #ItsAllAboutTheU #teamadidas pic.twitter.com/qBPvnMdLtt

The Miami Hurricanes are fresh off a defeat to six-loss South Carolina in the Independence Bowl. They finished 6-7 on the year.
And while I wasn't alive to witness them at their peak, I won't trifle with the "originators of swagger" labeling, even though I always cringe when I see a #brand using the word "swagger."
As for the "Originators of Sport" claim, the Nickelodeonized/Miami Vice-knockoff shoe at the top of the page is a bigger testament to the shambolic nature of that line than any series of words I could string together.
