Mr. Kinsley Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 So, I noticed that they are doing the photo contest again this year and the first prize listed kind of surprised me. 1 pair of Jeff Tweedy-designed Nike ID running shoes Really? I tried doing a search for them but came up empty. Anybody know about these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Nike has a function on its website where you can design your own running shoes. In this case, it would be Jeff designing running shoes for you. Well, I hope they would fit you. It would kind of be a bummer if you won shoes that didn't fit you. But you get the idea. I'll post a link in a sec. To answer what I presume your question was, there is probably not a line of Jeff Tweedy Nikes out there. Probably a few athletes between him and his first Nike sponsorship. edited to add: linkyedited again! to add: Well crikey! Things have changed in the past few years and it's not just running shoes you can customize. I'll be damned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Well that makes far more sense! Besides, I'm not so sure I want the exact same shoes as the guy who ended up with stress fractures in both legs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Awesome, maybe I can win again. I really need new running shoes. Maybe I'll just submit a photo of my current shoes. They are looking really rough and they're dangerous too, the grippy soles have come off and I always fall on the slippery rocks when I'm hiking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isadorah Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 yay photo contest! hey llynn, isn't there a rule that you can only win once or something? just kidding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 i need to think of something good.... edit- submitted my wilco birthday ninjas picture. *fingers crossed* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
entropy Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Just submitted mine too! I don't even care if I win, I'm just happy to be able to enter this year. I've been saving this bad-boy since March. No, really. I'm that sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I submitted mine. I'm not technically in the picture, but my Wilco shirt is...does that count? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
entropy Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I submitted mine. I'm not technically in the picture, but my Wilco shirt is...does that count? Haha, only my shirt is in my picture as well. So is my girlfriend's, actually. How much of a nerd does it make me that we actually took those specific shirts to Mexico, just so we could enter this bloody contest?

fineartoflife Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Nike runs sweatshops right? I mean, everybody knows this by now. Not to be a turd in a punch bowl, but kind of strange that Tweedy would support such an organization Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 How much of a nerd does it make me that we actually took those specific shirts to Mexico, just so we could enter this bloody contest? I did the same exact thing, except I went to Myrtle Beach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Griddles Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 What email did you send the pictures to? I have a photo that will kick all your photos butts in more ways than one. Maybe now you will not tell me what the email is. Actually my picture sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The High Heat Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 What exactly would one do in a pair of Jeff Tweedy Nike? Stand in one spot, looking down and tapping a foot? Or jog in place while holding a guitar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 The little guy in the faux-Nudie suit is priceless. He'll be mortified by that picture in 10 years, but it's cute as can be! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
