Good marketing as always. Probably spent 2 million dollars on that 2 minute commercial for these shoes. Philanthropy? Almost had me going for a minute...Sell all 1,500 pairs for $4000 each (yeah, $4000 for a pair of nikes) you'll get $6million. Roped Google into matching it so you'll have $12 million. A lot of money for sure. A lot of money for a Parkinson's disease Foundation no doubt. Given that even JT is covering this, aint that some cheap advertising? A lot of money for Nike or Google? Doesn't give me a warm tingly feeling. They could donate that much money every week and still keep the execs in gold plated massage chairs and diamond encrusted slippers.

But then they'll be able to afford food without sending their kids out to work. And then who'll make our Nikes??
