so if I've just wasted another few minutes of my life correctly, the idea is to "uncool" Nike.
why the fuck should I care.
I think Nike is perfectly able of doing this themselves.

Why are they selling it? Sure it'll be some sort of underground success- a lot of "alternative" businesses (from health stores to milk alternatives) rely on the evangelical fanatacism of their followers to spread the word (and make a quick, dirty buck)... but isn't that the fact that they're selling it a bit blatant?
If they were serious it would be (as I first assumed) simply a dot on the front of any pair of trainers/sneakers... that's a statement. Buying a different brand (like that "anti-coke cola" that was moderately popular in France last year just makes a bunch of people, even more cynical than those they supposedly oppose, richer.

that's the thing - it's not some kind of movement against the brand-mafia, but just some brand trying to seem cool by attacking another brand.

Yep, it's extemely hypocritical... it preys on (and not intending to be ageist here) fairly young and naieve idealists (like teenagers) who oppose capitalism, but are not yet wise (cynical?) enough to spot something like this for what it is...
