Nike Got You

Gee Why Passion kicks, kyrie, Nike, shoes, sneakers

Nike, the company, is simply masterful. They keep you on your toes, and when you think you got it figured out, Nike throws you off-balance once again. But it’s so fun!

Today, November 11, 2019, is yet another example of Nike’s mastery. Sure the Clot Air Force 1 dropped as announced, and Nikeplus Member Day kicked off. But also marking Veterans Day in the US and Singles’ Day in China and Pepero Day in South Korea, you might have guessed that Nike would have another surprise coming for the wary consumers. Could it be the launch of the Clot clothing line?

Nope, it was more obvoius than that, and Nike had told us one week ago with Nike News announcing the Kyrie 6 Preheat collection based on Kyrie’s connection to the number 11. So at 2pm HST (not 11 o’clock in any US timezone), it shouldn’t have been too surprising when the Kyrie 6 Unite the World shock dropped.

Scrambling to launch the SNKRS app after getting a notification, you may have sworn off Nike for this unexpected but expected surprise. Then became giddy when you saw the infamous Got’em screen.

But really, we all know what’s going on. While you may have “got’em” this time, Nike got you all the way.

An Explosion of Impulsiveness

Gee Why Pulp christmas, discount, disney, kicks, kyrie, longs, Nike, shoes, sneakers

What happens when (select) local Longs Drugs stores have a 90% clearance on Christmas ornaments and decorations? You get an explosion of impulsiveness that looks like this.

Of course you need Christmas-themed Mickey and Minnie Mouse in large and medium sizes.

And you need even more medium size mouses.

But it’s not only Disney items on clearance, your childhood Rudolph friends like the Abominable Snowmonster aka “Bumble” are on sale.

Really though, despite these enormous savings, what would you do with these impulsive purchases? I would have preferred to save up for these Kyrie 2 Abominable Snowmonster kicks instead.
