Nike’s marketing move was simply genius, they knew it would create controversy, that the stock would take a hit and bounce back. In return they got millions in free publicity and an increase in sales. 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 Politics aside this was just a company making a marketing decision, they only care about money.
Where is Whoopi Goldberg and SHE-MALE MICHELLE OBAMA when black African American women be stealing hair weave and wigs "MADE IN CHINA" good product from Asian owner store?? Just looks up on Utube video. The truth really hurt and proof video speak it for itself.
JD MILES3 wat are u talking about. Look at you guys making it a big deal. Let the the ad be, it’s inspiring to many and you guys just want to keep thy negative energy. That’s why racism will always exist.
Nike is an international brand having cult following in many countries .They can shift there focus from US if things don't work for them. .Nike has an upper hand in tackling these issues
Companies need to practice what they preach and it’s more than appropriate to challenge these companies if they don’t. Because oppression comes in many forms. And we as people need to protect ourselves and others.

Dont let people try to down play nikes move as purely financial...they could have campaigned around anything....as long as it was a noble... what kap is doing is noble.... You have to think in terms of the long game....how will history remember kap...nike knew. How wlll trump and his cult be remembered??? its not hard to guess..Nike picked a side...it was an easy call.

its good that they are using their platform to promote these messages, but they shouldn't be doing it to make money, they should be doing it because they care about these campaigns
Lol Pepsi stops police brutality. That was rich but yeah people will still drink. Though it's hard to boycott a company when they diversify with other names/products
Now your sales dropped. Latest reports show you lost billions in 2020. Good. It's called the white boycott of all Nike products. The push back has begun. Kama
I don't understand Americans and their love for the national anthem. Here in Switzerland most people don't even know the lyrics to our anthem and we still love our country. And also we don't play it that much.
Kaepernick didn't sacrifice anything. He went from being a nobody in the NFL world to one of the most famous players of our generation, even if not for his skill in the game
Wow just watched many of Colin kaepernick speeches, they are so powerful and sincere coming from a man that had vision when many was closing their eyes and ears
I find it funny how Trump says "what were they thinking" as if he doesn't create controversy for gain. Although, now that I think of it Donald Trump probably said that just to create more controversy and put himself in the spotlight and attract his own crowd.
Continue Nike. We support you in Denmark/Scandinavia. Young people are now starting buying Nike instead of Addidas and other brands. Fight in equality. You are so popular here.
Josh Adams no. No more than if she had an accent from a different country and you picked it out. Or if you knew she was from the south if she had a typical southern accent.
Nike seems to be doing well by backing those that have been shunned by the less enlightened. It may be calculated to make them money - they need to do that, but it does make a big difference to have this support. Especially when everyone even the president is slamming you. Looks like Nike standing by Kaepernick will serve them well, which it should.
People that can throw,hit or kick a ball.People that can walk and talk while in costume.Failures in life that couldn’t do an honest days work if they tried.Stop thinking that Actors and Sportsmen are ‘special’.
@Dark Horse "Their" is the pro-Trump nationalist right. The connection is that the name of the movie offended them because they saw it as a glorification of the Black Panther Party, which was an organization that stood against police terrorism against POC just like Kaep does. The main difference being that the party did so in a more effective manner (marching on the streets with guns out) instead of just kneeling for an anthem they never should have stood for in the first place.
@Danny Dircio Because for black people, it's not a superhero movie. It's a story about an alternative reality (without colonization), and black excellence. Unfortunately most black Americans don't know that Wakanda is being built today in places like Rwanda
“White guilt” is running out. The Academy will realize handing out Oscars to marginal “black” talent to placate the entertainment industry’s SJW’s disgusts us “regular folks” who know talent versus affirmative action when they smell it.....
@@bongofury5924 Like the majority of American institutions, "The Academy" wouldn't have to placate to anyone if they didn't first overlook tons of qualified black talent. "White Guilt," like all guilt, exists in the space of those who are remorseful for their actions. Guilt is a side effect of being guilty.
In todays society, it's a requirement for employment. THAT and not having a honest and/or correct assessment of a cultural situation...."And the home of the brave'.....
Also ran an ad showing how people have to hide skateboarding due to legality. While comparing it with running. At the time I had first started skateboarding and it was very influential to me
The issue here is that purchases based on emotions are immediate... Boycotts take months and years. It's when your kid needs new sneakers that you decide not to buy nike and you go for another brand. that's when you'll see the impact. I'm not saying they will ultimately loose, but based on the historical data presented in this clip... it seems like that's what tends to happen, they get a quick boost, then it falls and stagnates and then they play the game again.
USA boycotting Nike is like a little kid punching a proffesionl boxer lol, Nike is making billions of dollars all over the planet, USA needs to stop thinking they run the world
Well the US accounts for almost 50% of nike's income.... so not sure how that's insignificant. reference : www.statista.com/statistics/241692/nikes-sales-by-region-since-2007/ Secondly, things happening in the US matters to people outside the US as well... So again not sure why you would take this "event" and "analysis" as strictly US centric.
True. New Balance become popular. Americans start to see Nike isn't contributing much to their economy for they don't sew in USA but in Asian countries where all sorts of abuse can happen
Honouring George Floyd by Stop Committing Crime in the First Place! All of Us Should Stop Being So Selfish! Treat Everyone With Respect & with Dignity! All Lives Matter! Stop All Racist Policies & Confrontational Attitudes! Stop Committing Violence Against the Innocents of All Sides! ♥️🌷🕯
I personally refuse to buy another nike shoe even if it was at the dollar store. Which is really the face value of the shoe being made in some 3rd world country.
I understand Nike made their decision to represent and endorse Colin K. primarily based on support of the companies’ revenue stream, HOWEVER, Nike is on the right side of history in doing so. A professional athlete garnering the attention of a nation for a cause the way Colin Kaepernick has, is now American history.
I love what Mr. Kaepernick stands 4 ... when the honorable one gets out of office, you will get a position and more!!! I am a an African American woman that loves this country, in spite of the haters in the world!!!
RIGHT, Nike isn’t concerned about the American market. No manufacturer really tries to be successful in The United States of Anerica. This country has very little disposable income. Everyone KNOWS the big bucks are in Bangladesh and Iceland ......
The same way u had the freedom to boycott nike for what u stand for, that free american football player had the freedom to boycott for what he stands for.. just use ur brain americans lmao
Nike worker: hey boss I was thinking of this ad but it seems kind of controver-
Nike boss: just do it.

How can people be mad at someone trying to do good?
Disrespecting the country that gave him millions isn’t good
You mean Nike paying child laborers 5 cents a week to make tennis they sell for 100's of dollars. That kind of good you a$$hole??
@@iv5519 who tf cares it's just a knee. And also I'm glad trump lost
its good that they are using their platform to promote these messages, but they shouldn't be doing it to make money, they should be doing it because they care about these campaigns
@@iv5519 he was respecting his culture which is more important than money
The NFL should be ashamed of itself. George Floyd's DeAth many others is why Collin kneel
No they shouldn't
Censorship, censorship, censorship by the media.
I swear nike is the smartest company in the world with marketing.
Pepsi did it , people still drink it
Lol Pepsi stops police brutality. That was rich but yeah people will still drink. Though it's hard to boycott a company when they diversify with other names/products
Let’s give credit where it’s due Nike did good.
Nike did good by owning slaves?? Hmm
They only happened to use kapernick for views rather than actually carring about the overlaying message
Who’s here after George Floyd protest 2020?! Like! Let’s know ourselves 👍🏽
Protest?
You mean protests. That are still going on 70 something days later.
Only I call them riots.
George floyed died from fentanyl
Just boycott Nike.
I dont see how the AD is controversial
Amerikkka if you want people to respect your flag, then maybe you should respect people's race.
To all the dummies who torched the shoes they bought...you sure showed Nike! 💸💰😂
yet a single clap can cause an avalanche
They know that their customer base *_IS NOT_* old, angry, conservative white men and their international sales makes up the bulk of their total sales.
“Completely destroyed”, 3.2%, ummmm...
won't buy anything Nike again!!
99% of Nike's success is due to Michael Jordan.
Now your sales dropped. Latest reports show you lost billions in 2020. Good. It's called the white boycott of all Nike products. The push back has begun. Kama
Are you drunk?😂😂😂😂😂 this clown
I'll NEVER watch football again. BOYCOTT
You gotta give it up for their marketing strategies
Mad Respect🙌
Controversy is fine. Nike becoming political and taking sides isn't popular with everyone.
Evan Harris Nike owns Converse, Hurley and AirJordan, unsure why a unknown transgender skateboarder is part of Nike's strategy?
Nike and Trump know that any publicity is good publicity.
Controversy = free advertising
I don't understand Americans and their love for the national anthem. Here in Switzerland most people don't even know the lyrics to our anthem and we still love our country. And also we don't play it that much.
I will never buy NIKE
OR Disney products again.
Pathé is a French studio with good movies for kids
Kaepernick didn't sacrifice anything. He went from being a nobody in the NFL world to one of the most famous players of our generation, even if not for his skill in the game
I will never buy Nike again
no one cares nike profits from kaeparnick
Don't buy u will die a racist
There are other brands that make boots in USA. Unlike Nike they sew in Asian countries
Wow just watched many of Colin kaepernick speeches, they are so powerful and sincere coming from a man that had vision when many was closing their eyes and ears
True hero
I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL.... KAEPERNICK BRAVO..
this girl speaking is awesome
There's one more reason: They make good shoes.
Lmao
But not that good of a quality sometimes.
i cant belive that man is a president. he can not talk like that about someones belives and rights
People expect Brands to have a strong point of view on big cultural issues. You cannot blame Nike for taking sides.
it's whoreish tbh
I find it funny how Trump says "what were they thinking" as if he doesn't create controversy for gain. Although, now that I think of it Donald Trump probably said that just to create more controversy and put himself in the spotlight and attract his own crowd.
This guy he’s hero
Continue Nike. We support you in Denmark/Scandinavia. Young people are now starting buying Nike instead of Addidas and other brands. Fight in equality. You are so popular here.
ye ye nike is leading the "revolution"...but in the background has kids as slaves making those shoes!
Is it racist that 1 second after she started speaking i instantly knew she was a black woman
Josh Adams no. No more than if she had an accent from a different country and you picked it out. Or if you knew she was from the south if she had a typical southern accent.
even black people with white people voice recognize that they have awhite voice and black recognize that white people have a diff voice
Are you stupid? Or did you just discover that people outside your white bubble have different accents
Nike is just like Apple
Sales or not, Nike stood for what one should do right
Love or hate Nike, their products are the best in market 💯
They're HORRIBLE ! After about a year all mine got rubber rot. Cheezy crud made by slaves and supported by RACISTS.
This now needs to be updated to 2020
Nike's new slogan.
"Just did it!!"
Nike seems to be doing well by backing those that have been shunned by the less enlightened. It may be calculated to make them money - they need to do that, but it does make a big difference to have this support. Especially when everyone even the president is slamming you. Looks like Nike standing by Kaepernick will serve them well, which it should.
"Make Nike Great Again!!!"
I hope they could make that controversial ad soon & jump their earnings. 😉
Hahahaha the best thing was the NFL not signing him because they didn’t deserve Kaep. He was born to be bigger than just an NFL player.
Every big brand does that. Simple as that. Controversy creates trends which in turn is helpful.
Buh-bye Nike! You ain't getting ma coins no more! I am done with ya forever!!!
سارة علي I’m pretty sure Nike doesn’t care.
NIKE when making ads.. "JUST DO IT"
What's up Nike I've been an outcast my whole life here's a ? Why wouldn't you give an average person like me a deal
the revolution has been commercialised ..."Equality" brought to you by Nike.
Clever move by Nike
Now make a video on, “How Nike is raising a voice on black Americans when everyone is against them”
excuse me?. What kind of black people are you talking about? Kanye West?
Epic Compilations Wat do you mean ?
Epic Compilations exactly can’t explain but bother to spread negativity through your little screen
Danny Dircio how ?
People that can throw,hit or kick a ball.People that can walk and talk while in costume.Failures in life that couldn’t do an honest days work if they tried.Stop thinking that Actors and Sportsmen are ‘special’.
Cnbc what a joke. You guys think nike is so virtues meanwhile indonesians are getting treated like garbage in nike factory s. Hmmmm.
Nike's actually pretty smart
Colin Kaepernick Pushes Nike’s Market Value Up $6 Billion, to an All-Time High
Nike is a Greek goddess who personified victory...victory also means Victoria
*Oh yeah Nike also mean guided-missile*
The ad is my favorite video of all time.
Never buying Nike again.
MONEY MONEY MOOOOOOOONNNEEYYY

Nike risk a lot to make profit
Steven A Smith pointed out Kap didn't start this until he was benched...

True. New Balance become popular. Americans start to see Nike isn't contributing much to their economy for they don't sew in USA but in Asian countries where all sorts of abuse can happen
How many young blacks have been murdered over a pair of Nike? Just Do It?
or just like that officer who barged in to that one black guys apartment and murdered him just because she thought it was her apartment.
The same amount of white people that have overdosed on crystal meth heroin and other prescription drugs.

This is why I wear adidas
Adidas was founded by a Nazi named Adolf.
Nike’s= Genius.....
I find Colin Kaepernick an abosulute hero for protesing about gun violence and other serious things
How's that? Gun violence is almost uninversally black on black or black on white. He protested the police. He has a mangina
No one:
Literally Nobody:
Presenter: NikEEE
*flips table*
Lol why did they burned their shoes
i am not brand name guy. but i will buy nike shoes for this.
Why tho? They don't contribute to USA economy as much as New Balance for they sew in 3rd world countries not in USA. New Balance sew in USA
I personally refuse to buy another nike shoe even if it was at the dollar store. Which is really the face value of the shoe being made in some 3rd world country.
I think it's a great message and great marketing

The amount of Nike stuff shoplifted has gone through the roof too!
I am going to buy more Nikes
The cops brought a truck loads of Nike, planting it trying to arrest BLACKS remember(COP'S)
taking a stand against issues for the sake of money is worthless. Nike isn't doing anything good if there just using this guy to make more money
I love what Mr. Kaepernick stands 4 ... when the honorable one gets out of office, you will get a position and more!!! I am a an African American woman that loves this country, in spite of the haters in the world!!!
Bubbles PoP! Seems blacks spent all der rent money now bubble go pop
Love Nike more than ever now!! ❤️
some amazing ads from them lately

Haven’t bought one pair since.
The same way u had the freedom to boycott nike for what u stand for, that free american football player had the freedom to boycott for what he stands for.. just use ur brain americans lmao
It isn't even good of economy of USA. Since they sew in 3rd world countries unlike New Balance that sews in USA
And I have been wearing this name brand since middle school and now it's 2020 and IAM still is I chose Nike because I like there slogans to
I love Nike.
@Torality That's good. Only cool people should wear Nike.
People who wear Nike support human trafficking, sweatshops and rapes that often happen in clothes manufactures in Asian countries.
RIGHTEOUSNESS always PREVAIL!!!!
Well the memes were lit🔥
Nike earned my business forever with this courageous ad. Solute👏👏
There's more than one way to get skinned by a really smart cat.
