The Melvins Nike shoes

[grachan]

The Melvins couldn't have sold out more spectacularly if they tried their hardest.

They might as well have poured their heart and soul into a jingle for McDonalds or Gap.

And Nikes are fucking shite.

[Joe Deutrom]

Gotta be a joke.

[mumu]

those black ones aren't so bad.  i think i need them.  i would like to know the full story behind them.  it doesn't make sense for either party.  
nike is not going to make a lot of money selling shoes that say "melvins" on them to anyone.
the melvins aren't going to get any recognition from advertising their band on a shoe because nobody is going to buy them
what is going on here.  

even popular bands like...slipknot and metallica don't have basketball shoes.  this is such a mind-fuck.

They're SkateBoard shoes; hence the SB Dunks.  Same division that stole the image from Minor Threat for their 'major threat' campaign'.

Am I the only one who sees the Honky cover inspired shoe?

How could that be a joke?

Is there some Melvins revival going on in the UK?

If so why not let them cash in on it?

[Rusty Shackleford]

i've never owned any nikes but i'd get those black ones.

[Joe Deutrom]

I can see trendy teenaged mall rats buying these "hot" shoes. I think it is hilarious. I hope Buzz and Dale and their mystery bass player make a fortune.

[Huey P. Newton]

Why?

Not basketball shoes; but shoes no less.

oh, ok.  maybe one of us should email nike?

[Vcavallo]

but of course!! we demand knowledge!  tell them you are a representative of the melvins' official web page and would like to scoop the story for their millions of fans who will be buying the shoes and making nike teh rich!

how many melvins fans are there in the world?  like an actual estimate in numerals...: _______

[Rusty Shackleford]

just compare to other fan sites like boognish page.  that ween forum has about 500 people come through there every day.  i bet this place has 25 on a good day(i know there are records of this stuff but i damn sure ain't looking it up!).
