Nike apologizes for a new St. Patrick's Day-themed sneaker that affected many of its customers and fans with its new launch. The SB Dunk Low "Black and Tan" sneakers, launched in the U.S. this week, were named after the famous drink .and “Black and Tan," is the sneaker's "unofficial" name, has a darker association for many Irish people and it's also the name of a British paramilitary unit. This isn't the first time a Nike promotion has upset its consumers. Even in 2006, Christians protested their use of a painted cross on the body of soccer player Wayne Rooney, saying it trivialized the sufferings of Christ.
