I have 2 Nike hats. I had a gift card at a sports clothing store, but I would normally not pay that much for ballcap style hats. They are nice hats though.


Cool
Are you thinking of destroying the hats?
The funniest videos on the internet right now are conservatives destroying their paid for Nike gear.
To me, its much ado about nothing
Why are conservatives acting like total snowflakes right now when Colin has been paid by Nike since 2011
Nike has had him under contract for 7 years and conservatives on this board were going bonkers yesterday.

It's good for the economy. Those people will probably need to buy new shoes now.

We will wait and see how sales are affected.

Today, "Wall Street" does not seem to like it.

Nike stock down 3.16%

and probably as a side effect Footlocker is down 1.95%


Nike stock up today
I just checked their stock performance over the last year
incredible growth
If anything, they are one of the superstars on Wall Street, one year ago trading at 55, today trading at 79

I have 4 pairs of shoes. A dress pair
of slip on's, a pair of leather lace up's,
a pair of leather boots for winter,
leather sandals. Adult men who wear
athletic shoes look ridiculous.

Seinfeld always wears jeans, a sport
jacket, and a pair of Nike's. He looks
like an old guy trying to look hip.
In other words, ridiculous.


Seinfeld always had his own style. Those tucked in mock turtlenecks with cowboy belt looked pretty ridiculous too, but he wore it with confidence.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

It's hard to find someone down here that isn't wearing breathable tennis shoes, flops or sandals. Those that are, are in an office environment or wearing suits.

I have three different thicknesses of tshirts for the year, now I'm still in the wife beater thickness, about Halloween I will go to a regular light weight t shirt, and when it gets around Thanksgiving I go to a heavier thread count.

I take a hoodie with me to stores or casinos so as not to freeze from the ac.

I have dress leather shoes, but haven't put them on in a couple years or more. I always wear New Balance running shoes with breathable toes. I also slip them onn, and only have to tie them about once per month. Also wear cargo short pants probable 10 or more months of the year, just like everyone else around here.

It matters whether you are working or not. When I was working I had 5 different kinds of boots, depending on what I was doing. In Kodiak, you learn to live in rain gear and rubber boots.

Seinfeld is an arrogant pompous ass. On
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, he always
has to remind people he had a #1 show, he's
now very wealthy, and he can do anything
he likes because he's rich. He must think
about it a hundred times a day if he talks
about it that much.

Dawn Wells (Mary Ann) has apparently fallen on hard times. 200k in debt. Lost much of her money in financial crash then had some sort of serious illness that put in her in the hole.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I couldn't decide if I should link it as it hasn't been confirmed outside the TMZ report. And I didn't want to link a GoFundMe either.

I hope the gfm gets her a million. That homeless guy that the couple raised 400k for before they stole it, can't be in people's hearts and minds more than Mary Ann.
