Tragic




It appears that Nike has run out of original ideas for promoting their sneakers and have decided to rip off Minor Threat. I wonder if Ian McKaye isn't raking in some loot for this? That would be ironic to say the least considering that Minor Threat basically only released one EP while they were together and the guy has literally gone out of his way to not make money from his music.


I guess if the Beatle's music can be used to sell sneakers, then so can some old ass album cover art from a band that not many kids today even know. (Gumsoles Gabe dropped this bomb on me. Cheers!)

That's fucking sick. Isn't Nike the antithesis of punk rock? Ian should sue the um.. apparel right off of 'em.
