A Change.org petition, which garnered more than 14,000 signatures by mid-day Wednesday, claims that the logo resembles “Allah,” the Arabic word for God, written in Arabic script.
Petitioner Saiqa Noreen says the logo “will surely be trampled, kicked and become soiled with mud or even filth.”
“It is outrageous and appalling of Nike to allow the name of God on a shoe,” Noreen wrote. “This is disrespectful and extremely offensive to Muslim’s and insulting to Islam.”
Noreen is also demanding Nike recall the "blasphemous and offensive shoe and all products with the design logo resembling the word Allah from worldwide sales immediately."

Muslims can demand all they want - get over it or move back to the middle East. Your head bands annoy me but does anyone care. - no!
Move to Syria and wear flip camel flops.
The design looks like somebody stepped on a big wad of gum.
and slipped a little
I'm just a humble ole white boy. I thought it was probably named after that old dumb black woman's (not certain if woman or man) airplane. Air Max is likely supplied to Maxine Waters by taxes.
