Indonesian police inspect Nike factory in search for Air Max shoes allegedly containing the word ‘Allah’ on sole
By Coconuts Jakarta Feb. 7, 2019
Over the past week, Muslims all over the world have been pressuring Nike to redesign the logo on the soles of their Nike Air Max shoes because it allegedly resembles the Arabic script for “Allah†(God). As the nation with the largest Muslim population in the world, it was only a matter of time before Indonesian authorities looked into the issue seriously as well.
Yesterday, police carried out an inspection at a Nike factory in the Tangerang Regency of Banten to see if the allegedly blasphemous Air Max designs were being produced in Indonesia.
