This customer got a more frank response than you’d expect from a major brand.
Twitter user Andrew, who goes by the handle @Blueprint_bear, asked the Mi Adidas customer support why he couldn’t print the word ‘spirit’ on his trainers?

He was told that the word ‘spirit’ can cause offence to some people on religious grounds, which he wasn’t buying.
He wanted to know which religious groups took offence to such a word, at which point the Adidas respondent on the other end decided to dispense with the bullshit.
Refreshingly honest, no?
