Nike's new Air Max FF 720 trainers have not been well received online.

耐克的新款Air Max FF 720運動鞋在網上並不受歡迎。

It's not merely because they're pretty ugly, either - it's much more about what they look like than how they look.

這不僅僅是因爲它們長得很醜，主要是和它長得像啥有關，而不是長什麼樣。

The trainers, aimed at women and promoted by England footballer Fran Kirby and Tennis star Laura Robson, are being criticised for looking like irons.

由英格蘭足球運動員弗蘭·柯比(Fran Kirby)和網球明星勞拉·羅布森(Laura Robson)代言，這些運動鞋的目標客戶是女性，但它被吐槽像熨斗。

Yeah, not the perfect look for any trainers.

是啊，這造型啥運動鞋也不適合。

When tweeted out that the Air Max FF 720's were about to drop, they were met with reply after reply about irons.

在推特上說，Air Max FF 720即將發售，他們收到了一個又一個關於熨斗的回覆。

There are pictures of irons, people wondering where the ironing board is, and just general disbelief that Nike were actually releasing trainers that looked like irons.

有熨斗的照片，有的問熨衣板在哪裏的，人們普遍不相信耐克真的要發售長得像熨斗的運動鞋。

"So we are wearing iron inspired sneakers now?" said one tweet. "Wow! Wow!"

一條推特寫道:“所以我們現在穿的是熨斗款運動鞋?”“哇!哇!”

"No way. Before viewing the pics I thought these were irons," said another.

“不可能。在看這些照片之前，我以爲這些是熨斗。”

"Someone's gonna be pressing a lot of charges..." was another, although admittedly that joke doesn't really work and just has the word 'pressing' in it.

“有人會提出很多指控……”是另一條推，顯然這個玩笑並不會真正奏效，裏面只用了個“pressing”。

One person summed things up nicely, describing the shoes simply as "nasty pairs of something with a Nike tick on em."

有個人總結得很好，把這雙鞋簡單地描述爲“一對帶有耐克標誌的討厭玩意”。

Which, at the end of the day, is entirely accurate; irons or not, they don't look great.

說到底，可以肯定的是;不管像不像熨斗，它們看起來都醜。

The best tweet arguably came from @khaans, who nailed Nike's sales pitch for them.

可以說，最好的推特來自@khaans，他爲耐克鎖定了銷售目標。

"Presenting Women's Nike Air Max FF 720," he said. "It converts the mechanical and kinetic energy generated when you jog/run to heat the iron."

“來介紹下女子耐克Air Max FF 720，”他說。“它能將慢跑/跑步時產生的機械能和動能轉化爲熱能。”

It's unlikely that the shoes do work like that, of course, but they sure look like they do.

當然，這雙鞋不可能有這樣的功能，但它們看起來確實是那樣的。

These trainers really, really look like irons.

這些運動鞋真的非常非常像熨斗。
