Could it be argued that Nike stole its advertising campaign "Just do it" started in 1988 from a speech done by Art Williams in 1987? Same "slogan", interesting timing...

Why are they left out of the sponsored clubs list? Much bigger club than a few listed (eg Western Sydney Wanderers). Is it because they are a rugby league club and don't count (editor bias), because that's the only reason I can think of.

Nike's own history article sais that the year it's been renamed is 1971 and not 1978. http://nikeinc.com/pages/history-heritage (Paragraph: 1970 - 1979: THE BIRTH OF THE NIKE BRAND, AND COMPANY)

NIKE paid the Swoosh Designer Carolyn Davidson $35 for the Logo. http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2011/06/nikes_swoosh_brand_logo_hits_4.html

I think the word 'continue' should be fixed into 'continued' in the section child labor allegations.

The phrase "The previor year" is used, but I think that word "previor" should either be "prior" or "previous". Can someone fix this, please? I'm not allowed to.

In 2002, Nike admitted that some of their apparel was produced in the terrorist supporting nation of Syria, then governed by the dictator Assad. However, Nike claimed they did not "authorize" the production of apparel in that nation and they attributed the error to a contractor. In 2002, Nike publicly admitted producing shirts in the terrorist supporting nation of Syria.

Could I add that Tinker Hatfield also played a MAJOR role in the creation of the Air Max, releasing the early sketches of the shoe in 1987. EdenBAnn (talk) 21:06, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Under the Research heading, the sentence starting "In January 2023" misspells Lululemon as Lululumon. CharlemagnePub (talk) 20:41, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
