bad summer for adidas. they lost drake. now nike got kaep.

all adidas has is pharrell and maga kanye who fell off music and fashion wise.

nike got drake, kaepernick, lebron, durant, kyrie, ronaldo, neymar, mbappe, virgil abloh, and supreme.
And this is what comes to mind eh, it's like playing with baseball nikkaz I mean cards :whoa:

Nah, I had it right The first time :stopitslime:

So are you saying we shouldn’t jump on NKE stock ? :stopitslime:
What are we doing here in this thread, huh?
What is Kappernick being praised for?

There is a war going on outside you can't escape from :merchant:

Nike associates and disassociates with people and causes left and right. You're an idiot if you think this is anything more than Nike dikk riding the moment. Look at the reactions in this thread, nikkaz talking about buying pairs, buying stock even?

1995 info...
Prison Labor: Workin' For The Man

1997 Nike...

Nike factory in Vietnam apologizes to employees for breaking labor law

When Google searching there has been a scrub of most info between 2003-2013. There's a reason for that.

My beef isn't with Nike as much as it is with all of you who prop up Nike like if they really doing something out here for the cause. Maybe they will, but until they do, they haven't.

Dhgate if you wanna cut out the middleman :whistle:

4. Althea Gibson
3. Bill Russell
2. Jesse Owens
1. Muhammad Ali

I’m almost thinking Tommie Smith and John Carlos should be included as one entity as well. That photo is iconic.


If you’re gonna include Jackie Robinson, might as well put Jesse Owens. And that was a pretty big flaw. Speaking against Ali at the height of the movement.
Good call on Smith & Carlos.

The unknown
“Will there be people who stop buying Nike because of this? Yes,” says Brian Cristiano, CEO of ad agency Bold Worldwide. “But there will also be others who use this as an excuse to buy another jersey or pair of sneakers. Regardless of how loud the keyboard warriors and voices opposed to Kaepernick get, Nike will remain standing at the end of it all. And as they say, no press is bad press.”


Bob Dorfman, a sports marketing expert with Baker Street Advertising, echoes a similar tone. “Yes, it will alienate consumers—just look at the Twitter reaction already,” he says. “But the attention it will gain, the publicity, the media discourse, the incredible reaction will far outweigh any loss of business that might result. For every swoosh that’s lost, one or more will be gained.”

Drake has never or will never sell more sneakers or clothes than Kanye. Or Pharrell for that matter. What exactly does drake do for Nike?

:gucci:White People in America really burning their Nike products over this shyt?

Nike is an international brand, they will be just fine.

Maybe one day you dudes will get it. This is why Kaep was black balled, because of these fans.

I read the yahoo comments and saw this coming.
