The Nike tick, or 'Swoosh' is actually a stylised wing. Nike was the Greek goddess of victory and she was depicted with wings. The lady who created the logo was paid just a few dollars for her logo back in the 1970's but it is rumoured that Nike slung shares and a few million her way as a belated thankyou in the 1990's. Last time I researched it was a little unclear why Adolf Dassler (Adi is a nickname for Adolf hence Adi-das) chose three stripes for his logo, but some say it was because he had 3 sons. Adolf's brother Rudolph fell out with Adolf and left Adidas to form Puma. He just liked big cats. I am fascinated by logos...

Adidas is such a better logo than Nike tick. Being able to pick between stripes or leaf depending on item is so more versatile.

Nike are king of trainers though.

Maybe the Nationwide offer will work with this?
£15 off a £60 (or more) spend.

Thank you op!

The three stripes copyright was actually purchased from a finish shoe manufacturer. OtherWise spot on facts,

Someone can use google

Sorry to go off track but HEAT for the effort taken to create this thread.

Now back to Adidas v Nike & Google wars...

Has any actually been successful with the Nationwide offer?

Topcashback at 9.45% too.

Shame they don't have the zx700's in my size, but will keep refreshing! Great find OP! :smiley:

and Fred Perry?

Thank you very much op. Was looking at a pair of shoes for the wife and ended up getting her two pairs (lucky her!). With the nationwide offer + TCB, should come to about £45 which is insane for a pair of Flux's and Honey's.

​No. I meant combining it with this Winter offer

Famous British tennis player.. and a laurel wreath logo.. presumably to represent winning/a prize? Not sure. I love those RS adidas mid-tops.. but I'm skint! Had to buy a new fridge freezer! :disappointed:

WINTER25 not working for me

Trying to get those red trainers from the pic, says there is 3 10.5 in stock but cant add to basket!

Same, in stock but cant add to basket?!

Cheers OP

Also having problem adding to basket - says in stock but won't add :neutral_face:

All the shoes are disgusting unfortunately.

The black stan smith ones are about the best but don't exactly want a herringbone jacket stuck to the side of my shoes.

They've gone oos for many sizes I'm after - I think their site struggled with all us HUKDers trying to get a bargain :smile:

as long as you spend over the required amount after discount

its cash back agaisnt a specific purchase so doesnt matter what you buy / discount code you use. Quidco also around 10% back

I thought the sarcasm was about nike?

Only decent trainer theyve ever released is the internationalist

Most of nikes releases are copies of other manufactures models apart from all the **** airmax stuff.. Air max ranks alongside "reebok classics" IMHO lol

Just no.. to all of that.

Do some background into Nike's design team.

crappy

I was looking for a pair of low cut trainers for gym/jogging however all suitable trainers were just in small foot sizes. Would be great if the additional 25% off could be used on non-winter shoes as well.

Just got mine

My Adidas days are about to be re lived :smiley:

Mine arrived. Same size as all other Adidas I've ever had including the ones I wear regularly....and I can't even get my foot in them!
