OH MY WORD! I MIGHT Bat For Team NIKE Afterall?

A fab friend of mine who works at Nike just reminded me that Nike owns CONVERSE!

I wear a LOT of CONVERSE! My cold weather sneaker style relies on Converse. WORKHORSES. See Finds.

Maybe I bat for Team NIKE after all? What do you think?

If your heart is Adidas, but your feet are Converse, you can join me on the bench with pie!

I did not know that. I'm a fan of Converse, too.

Bonnie, I actually did know that. It slipped my mind, but not deliberately

Nike owns Cole Haan too.

(actually, i think Nike sold Cole Haan a couple of years ago....)

i know that they own Converse, but i think of them as 2 separate entities...but if were going there...then remember that adidas owns Reebok & Taylormade

Well THAT's interesting . I didn't know that Nike owned Converse. Batting for any athletic-wear company is astounding enough !

This is why I haven’t answered on the blog post yet. It was too complicated for me to think through before coffee this morning!

I think I’m benched. I own Converse and, generally, Nike fits my feet better than Adidas, but those three stripes make me happy because I associate Adidas with soccer, my only sport fandom.
