Well, recently, internet users have been paying attention to a similar such “important” argument over the “true” colors of Nike-inspired outfits, which consist of tank tops, shorts and sandals.

Some say the colors are pink and white, while others consider them to be grey and turquoise instead.

“Dunno how others see anything other than pink and white?”. Has been shared by more than 1,000 users and received over 800 comments, the photo was captioned with, “Here we go again! What two colors do you see?”

BuzzFeed later picked up on the story and conducted a poll, which resulted in grey and teal as the most popular option among voters.

Amid all of the heated debate, Memphis-based clothing line BiNorth Collection, which claimed to be the designer, posted on its Facebook account: “Hey guys this is blue and gray, not pink and gray.”

The product sets, dubbed Nike Bling Slides by the clothing line, are available at prices starting from US$120. (kes)
