Nike’s new women’s trainer sponsored by an England Womens footballer has been slammed for what it looks like…
Shoppers say the Nike Air Max FF 720, which has two cut outs and a thick clear plastic sole, looks like the household appliance.
They believe this sends out the wrong message – even though England star Fran Kirby and tennis player Laura Robson have endorsed the product.
A spokesperson for feminist group Not Buying It commented sarcastically: “I’m sure they’ll be doing this for men too, of course.
“Maybe it could be paired up with some ‘extreme ironing’ – you know, when people, mostly blokes, iron while sky diving.”
And people have taken to Twitter to share their disgust today.
One drew the connection, prompting a raft of replies with pictures of real irons and captions.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
