Colin Kaepernick Named Face of Nike's 30th Anniversary of 'Just Do It' Campaign

What's a sneaker-loving nerd doing on a gun board? What motives do you have?

With all the promotions of new products you mentioned, that changes my perspective some. Unless there were some similar promotions last year, the period sales may have actually declined, excluding these special one time promotions. For comparitive reporting purposes, the basis should be equal to help derive what is actually driving the variance. It sounds like in this case, even though the media is pushing their narrative, one cannot say that the controversial ad campaign is specifically driving the period over period change in sales. There are other variables involved.

They had some HUGE online-exclusive releases of some very popular shoes that weekend/week (Air Vapormax, Zoom Fly, Pegasus Turbo, Jordan 12, some Lebron model, etc...). Probably more that than just back to school, but certainly it was tactically planned with the campaigns.

I'm not a sneakerhead, but being a runner who actually runs in Nike (the Pegasus work best for me... for the record they're only $110 and not $200+) I keep up with this. Say what you want about these being better, worse, or as good as $40 sneakers... there's people who like and buy these over cheaper ones.

Just like buying a Seekins over a Anderson, a P226 Navy over a Sigma, or a Browning over a Mossberg, a Wilson over a Rock Island...

Probably a little of A, little of B. Either way, even though I don't support Kaep at all and think the ads are ridiculous, I'm not questioning Nike's marketing acumen on the aggregate.

Avoiding type II diabetes, mostly.

You're not alone brother. There are others on this board who actually exercise!

I’m in the club. Do 12 oz arm curls.

I walk. However, my hiking shoes are Keens and my around town walking shoes are Sketchers (I think.) At least for now. My daily shoes change from time to time with no particular reason other than they are comfortable, and I need a new pair or two.

As for boycotting, I've been doing that for years. I don't buy clothes or whatever to follow a fad. I figure that except for my jeans, I don't buy anything that advertises for someone. If a manufacturer wants me to wear their product, they will provide them to me for free. I've never been unable to understand the desire for such things as "Eskimo Joe's," "Hard Rock Cafe," any sports team or player, or any other item just because someone else is wearing them because it is "in."

Proof that even bad publicity is good publicity.....

That's because buying their stuff is "virtue signaling" for the left. Here's an ex comedian now socialist pumper pandering to the sheeple.

I am surprised that it was possible to captures image of two people with so little substance.

Huh...I think I know the guy on the left, but who's that on the right?

Wait....I guess if he was a person of substance, I might would know.

Never mind.
