The Nike Mercurial Vapor IX Cristiano Ronaldo Looks Like Something from the Rainforest
Article written by: +Albert Costill Posted on: April 25, 2013 Tweet If you follow football, soccer here in the States, then you know all about Cristiano Ronaldo.

Nike Pulls Out “Boston Massacre” Shirt
Article written by: +Albert Costill Posted on: April 23, 2013 Tweet You don’t have to be a sports fan to know that the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees aren’t exactly besties. Over the years, their bitter rivalry has spawned merchandise ranging from the Red Sox’s “Yankees Suck” t-shirts to the Yankees’s “Fack Bawston” memorabilia. But, in the wake of last week’s Boston Marathon bombings, things have lightened up between the two storied franchises. While Beantown is still recovering from the attack that left three dead and over a hundred injured, Nike is also backing off on the heated feud by quickly removing all of the “Boston Massacre” shirts from their factory outlet stores and online retailers like Fanatics.
