	Nike's soccer ads cleverly slam Adidas. - By Seth Stevenson - Slate Magazine
		Nike has long led Adidas in overall market share (both in the United States and worldwide), but soccer is a holdout category in which Adidas maintains an edge.
		Still, I felt the Nike soccer ads that year were mediocre, and even a bit confusing: They featured soccer matches set, for no evident reason, within the bowels of a giant ocean tanker.
		Nike is discouraging cheating and rough tactics in favor of a beautiful game involving skill and joyful dedication.

	Frequently Asked Questions
		While companies like Nike used to try to avoid responsibility for factory conditions by saying they were "just the buyer," the anti-sweatshop movement has made this excuse unacceptable and forced the retailers—who are, after all, the ones who make the greatest profit—take responsibility for the workers who make their products.
		Nike is so profitable and sells its shoes for such high prices that it can well afford to double the workers' wages without increasing the retail price.
		Nike has announced that in Vietnam it is using social scientists from the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City to help monitor factory conditions.

	Boycott Nike Home Page
		Nike has staffed up its PR department to go on a charm-offensive to seduce the public, to create confusion among concerned people about the reality of Nike sweatshops and to sow doubts about anti-sweatshop activists.
		Nike also continues to use the Fair Labor Association (FLA) as a quasi-stamp of approval for its labor policy even though in reality the FLA is still a non-functioning organization.
		We also urge you to refrain from buying Nike products until corrective actions are taken to improve these abhorrent working conditions, which have proven to be insulting to human dignity and neglectful of human conscience.

		Nike has skirted around the problem of labor abuses by promoting its reforms without providing proof they are being instituted.
		Nike's other maneuver to quiet critics has been to create and fund its own inspection and monitoring organizations, which tend to issue biased reports.

		Nike's Web site invites sneaker zealots to "build your own shoe," choosing their personal colors and even a personalized ID running up the side.

		Despite her ancestry, Nike fought on the side of the Olympian gods against the Titans, and thus was considered a manifest representation of the victory of the Olympians.
		This did not mean that Nike's powers were confined to the military sphere: quite the contrary, in fact, for she symbolized victory in many areas of ancient Greek life, including athletics (perhaps this is why the legendary shoe manufacturer borrowed the name of this goddess) and other contests.

	Spike on Golf: With Wie signed and sealed, Nike Golf begins planning her marketing campaign
		The Nike Golf marketing machine has started "Operation Michelle Wie," but Nike Golf President Bob Wood is playing his cards close to the vest in terms of when the 15-year-old phenom will make her debut in company advertising spots.
		I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of Nike Golf TV spot during next week's LPGA Samsung World Championship, where we Wie will make her professional debut, but we'll all just have to tune it to watch for that.
		Nike Golf's signing of Wie -- and the hoopla surrounding her turning professional -- certainly is reminiscent of Woods' announcement more than nine years ago.

	JUST DO IT! BOYCOTT NIKE!
		Nike's refusal to end labour abuses in its suppliers' factories will be documented today in an open letter signed by more than 40 human rights and labour groups from around the world.
		The letter calls on Nike to reinstate all workers who have been fired for organizing unions or talking to journalists; ensure workers are paid a living wage for a standard forty hour week; publish the addresses of all its suppliers factories and put in place a credible system for monitoring conditions in those factories.
		In stark contrast to claims that Nike workers in Indonesia are grateful to have a job at any wage during the economic crisis, thousands of those same workers have engaged in strikes, to demand that their wages be brought to a level which can sustain life with dignity.

		Concerned that Nike Ajax would be incapable of halting a massive Soviet bomber attack, Army officials developed and deployed the longer range nuclear-armed Nike Hercules at 145 locations.
		Although never deployed, the Nike Zeus was tested as an antiballistic missile and as an antisatellite weapon (both missions envisioned the use of nuclear warheads).
