Minor Threat versus Nike

When I was much younger the american punk band Minor Threat were among my heroes. They meant a lot to me. They meant that you should stand up for your own opinions and that you didn't have to be one of the crowd. They meant something.

So I am sad when I read that Nike have used an advertising campaign based on Minor Threat album artwork. I understand that nike want to sell their trainers to cool skateboarding kids but it is a bit shit to rip off a band who never really tried to sell-out. Minor Threat were about being a teenager not selling shoes.

The next shoes that I buy will not be nike.
