Yes, big corperations often have a hidden agenda, but in this case, who cares. Lets see - 6500 shoes times $100 equals $650,000 donated to the Terry Fox Foundation plus another $65,000 on top of that. Let us thank Adidas for recognizing a true Canadian hero. No other company would have to balls to release only 6500 shoes and only in Canada. Fuck all of you who are dissin’ Adidas for supporting Terry Fox, as they did 25 years ago.

During photo ops, he'd have to take the leg off and sling it over his shoulder the way that downhill skiers do at the end of a race.
