boo, hiss...

I wasn't feeling Nike's first attempt when snowboarding got all mainstream, not feeling it these days either...

We Agree!

Dear "Marketing Machine 6.0,"

You can throw as much water on this blazing inferno as your giant corporation is capable of... but it won't change the fact that you are still viewed as the volunteer fire department and are incapable of putting the flame out!

Yeah...

At least they actually made snowboard gear the first time around... this push is weak.

How'd they "do it"?

I'm not sure how Nike finally made it into the snow/skate thing, but kids are crazy about them now. Maybe it's P Rod, maybe the reason they call it 6.0 is because it's their 6th attempt at gaining traction in these niches.

It''s Simple.

Limited Edition SB Dunks. Changed the sneaker game forever.

Check this quote from that adbusters article.

“Nike has a $1.63 billion marketing and advertising budget; they’ve got the best ad firms and public relations films in the world,” says Keady. “So, when you’ve got that kind of money you can craft any kind of message you want, and anybody that studies marketing or public relations knows that even if something is a lie, if you say it long enough and passionately enough to enough people, it’s going to start being believed as the truth. Which is what Nike’s done – they’ve lied to the consuming public for years.”

So true.

what if we treated.......

Check out what nike does....click here.

also remember when they did the whole "what if we treated all athletes like they were skateboarders?" You know what happened? three kids were skateboardin outside of the Nike HQ in Portland, the security guard came out grabbed two of the kids and called the pigs to come and pick them up while the third was in the bushes across the street video taping!! Nike treating skateboarders like skateboarders!?! They
bagged that campaign and $ettled to $hut the kids up. Thats all we need in the snowboard world more corporate drama.

wow

never heard about those kids at the nike office, thats awesome.
