Don't lose it, Just Do It: Eminem designs Nikes
- Artists:
- Eminem »
Not-rapping-right-now rapper Eminem has designed a series of sports shoes for Nike. The shoes will be auctioned for charity via eBay.
Profits from sales - only eight pairs of each design will be made - are to be split between ninemillion.org and the Marshall Mathers Foundation, which raises funds for disadvantaged children in Michigan and beyond.
The musician and sometime actor told reporters:
"We're always looking for new ways to try to raise money and awareness for the foundation, so when Nike approached us we jumped at the chance. Who wouldn't want to design their own line of Nikes?"

Is this some sort of sick Joke, Nike helping disadvatged children, what about the millions of disadvataged children making the majority of Nikes crappy 'sports' wear
Lets kill the fucking audence
We can sell shoes again...
yeah but,
who cares about horrible things happening to foreigners? i bet they talk funny why, they're probably not even white!
But celebrities making happy noise and being charity - ooh, mr. nike must be a lovely, lovely chap; just like Jimmy Stewart in It's A Wonderful Life, only nicer...
did you know....
In Indonesian, the word Doit, is slang for money, like 'cash' or 'notes', or summat like that. Nice to look up at your bosses office and read 'Just money' whilst being beaten for failing to meet ridiculous production targets!
when you think about it
it's kind of funny; money from the sale goes to disadvantaged children, ie the kids that made the shoes?
..
do they get a pay rise or what? how is this money distributed? their marketing people are geniuses.
heh
Finally his hard earned degree in footwear design is coming in handy!
