Do you know what Nike? Forget about “just do it”, as far as I am concerned you can just do one.

I have taken a pair of Nike trainers out of a shopping basket today.

If they are going to delete our comments there is only one way to be heard!!

I did the moves Dylan showed us yesterday, with the grin and the head toss and everything.

DH couldn't stop laughing, pointing out that I had finally learnt to 'woman' right.

But I had a sore neck afterwards from those sudden head tosses.

Not a “she” male by birth. No I am
or bigoted, just believe in stating the truth

Nike respond on Instagram

Apparently they will censor and delete comments.
They also labelled criticism as “hate speech”

Be kind.

What a surprise - women, know your place and BE KIND 😶

Doubling down? Yep, like that's always worked.

Women of the world, unite!

Me, I gave up on Nike last millennium.

Hoka trainers are awesome. I run and play tennis in mine

MrsMurphyIWish · 07/04/2023 18:02

Reebok is my go to for sports wear. New Balance for trainers.

I wear Nike quite a bit. Leggings. Trainers, jogging pants and hoodies.

I have 4 children, who although don't really care for Nike, it's an easy choice when they need trainers or sportswear. No more.

I genuinely will never buy another item from Nike.

Not just because of DM but because I've gone down the rabbit hole today with how they treat women.

I’ve only ever worn Nike trainers as I feel comfortable in them. Will definitely be shopping around. My dd is walking around in her favourite Nike hoodie, I’ve just told her we are boycotting Nike, she’s a bit gutted as she loves their cushion socks, but agrees what they are doing is wrong, she’s 10 and said can she still wear her hoodie, I’ve said yes but we won’t be buying Nike going forward. Haven’t told my other DD there will be no more Nike Pro leggings.

I had no idea about how badly Nike have treat women over the years until today. I’m raising 3 girls, I want them to grow up understanding that women and girls need to stand up for themselves, sometimes by doing that we have to do it by using our voices and other times by walking away from something or someone if we have to.

So why haven't they chosen a female model with a broad back? Or a female model with small breasts? To model women's clothes?

Or you know, an actual athlete?

Not a pretender jumping about like something out of In The Night Garden?

@UltimateWario Spot on.
Yesterday I saw a Female boxer sparring in a public park with her Trainer.
She was wiry, muscular, serious, and exactly right to advertise Sports clothing for women.

I wake up everyday hoping for a Western society-wide curtain to be drawn open, and us being told a Stanford University experiment involving all of us has been in operation for the last few years.

Alas, those curtains are still closed tight...

I'm still baffled that a selfie type social media thread of someone prancing about barefoot in the mud in their garden and falling over a bush is sponsored by a firm that spends a fortune on their image and advertising.

In a minute I'm going to take a selfie of myself sitting on the draining board by the boiler and get British Gas to sponsor me. I might flick a digestive at the cat and see if McVities are up for this too.

That made me laugh out loud.😂

The best leggings according to a Yoga teacher who has tried many brands over the years are “White Stuff”

I bought some on her advice, and they are wonderful.

Am taking DD out next week for new sports wear and bras. She has list, I’ve just told her if Nike items are on it to look for alternatives. I regularly buy their items for her but I’ll be buggered if I’ll give them anymore of my cash.

oakleaffy · 07/04/2023 17:13

MrsMurphyIWish · 07/04/2023 14:22

And maybe that’s why their sportswear is so shite for women. Always been thin and badly fitting. Apparently it’s perfect for dickheads though.

Nike must be aiming at the Dickhead market. The absolute insults to Women and Girls by using this non sporting person beggars belief.

Same here, 3 DDs with Nike trainers, leggings, hoodies etc.. no more, they can find a new brand to like and wear.

Any women sporting bras?

Cheers, had a look, some ok looking ones. Decent prices, heres hoping for a sale sometime soon so I can try them without spending a hundred plus quid.

Obscene and disgusting. That's my penny's worth.

Dylan sainthood by Nike yet another example of woke capitalism covering up their inequities with virtue signalling. So much easier for them to wrap their #Be Kind and #Be Yourself corporate arm around Dylan, and immediately show that they care. At a stroke it absolves them of the shit that they and every other corporation is guilty of. Because if you look like you care, then you do care.

Same malarkey as Met Police running up the Pride Flag while being guilty of misogyny and homophobia in industrial quantities.

Nike and other companies however rapidly need to come to a decision. The inflection point on all this is coming fast, homing into view. Women are not staying quiet, they're voting with their feet and credit cards. The men (hi everyone) are catching up too.

And Gen Alpha look like they might en masse turn right against all this.

Do you really want to be yesterday's news, pandering to a fragile brittle aesthetic? Or do you want to actually really be an ally to all your consumers, and stop pandering to an imaginary base?

Right now, the company that starts showing they're with women, with gays, with treating kids with respect and maturity, will be the company that develops a base that will be long lasting.

Nike deserve to really hurt, and be hurt, by this decision.

I may not be the target market for Nike, 53 and menopausal. But I am the purchaser of Nike trainers for my 3DDs who have been told today I will no longer be buying Nike products.

That's it for me. It's just making a mockery of women.

I'm doing well today. My second deletion!

You probably already know but in case and for others, the rules used to be 3 strikes and you are out. So assuming its still the same, try to not get a third post deleted.
