There is a place in the universe, a vacuum with no light and no sound. It is in this place that I believe a few things live
-buses
-hairbands
-forks at work
-men after they say something profound
-my favourite lipgloss
-working pens
-one earring from almost every pair

The marketing was a deliberate choice by Nike- a poor one.
When there is choice and that’s the side by side they went with, it screams sexism and wanting the wrong publicity.
