nike is an opponent of all that minor threat represented. ian mckaye for example started dischord records in a well known do it yourself fashion without any backing. they even did the cases to the vinyls that they released. they did everything themselves. when i first saw this i was completely angered. it disrespects and contradicts everything that the DIY community of punk represents. ian mckaye and minor threat actually had something going. and nike bites on it 20 years later.

people who dont know who minor threat was and of the history and what they stood for. it will mean nothing. but for those of us who didnt join mainstream corporate america and embraced the hard working ethics, it is a complete spit in the face. shame on nike .

So money makes people better than other people? I think we have an ignorant fool on our hands.

Whatever. Nike has so much more money than Minor Threat.
Nike is awesome and Minor Threat sucks balls.

fuckindeusch123, i would have to agree with you. Minor Threat was a band that began playing in basements and they have been underground. NIKE is a huge company (that uses sweatshops, but thats another topic) that used this iconic picture to promote their shoes. Why do they have a skateboarding tour? So skateboarders will buy their shoes. fuckin corporate scumbags. i hate nike and always will. EVEN WORSE: the three x’s, straight edge is on the poster. Im sure minor threat would hate to be used for corporate gains. in conclusion: fuck nike, minor threat rules.

im out.

Profaned isn’t even a word. Culture is though and this is just another example of cultural exploitation. If it’s enough just to issue a simple apology do you think they’ll let me use the nike swoosh on my advertising? Or will they sue me for every penny I’m worth? (not very many by the way)

I defer to rz’s superior skateboarding-related knowledge.

Nike is one of those companies people love to hate. In terms of their skateboarding division, they have a very good product and a very good team.

They have also issued a public apology for the Minor Threat posters.
