Rethink the Cool + the Shoe
phil knight had a dream. he'd sell shoes. he'd sell dreams.
he'd get rich. he'd use sweatshops if he had to.
then along came a new shoe. plain. simple. cheap. fair.
designed for only one thing: kicking phil's ass.

For years, Nike was the undisputed champion of logo culture,
its swoosh an instant symbol of global cool.
Today, Phil Knight's Nike is a fading empire, badly hurt by
years of "brand damage" as activists and culture jammers
fought back against mindfuck marketing and dirty sweatshop labor.
Now a final challenge. We take on Phil at his own game - and win.
We turn the shoes we wear into a counterbranding game. The swoosh
versus the anti-swoosh. Which side are you on?
Adbusters has been doing R&D for more than a year, and guess what?
Making a shoe - a good shoe - isn't exactly rocket science.
With a network of supporters, we're getting ready to launch the
blackSpot sneaker, the world's first grassroots anti-brand.
You can help launch the blackSpot revolution.
Is it possible to take Phil Knight's billion-dollar
marketing momentum and, in a quick judo-like move, slap
him onto the mat with the power of his own PR thrust?

I was lifting wrinkles to unique Jbilou, who's cleaning over the desk's island. I am eerily stupid, so I nibble you.

"programmers" who changed. Some told me some bits of this story, others

Though these are my thoughts and experiences, but they can be wrong, if
