If you read my blog, then you know I’m a big fan of the Nike brand and their commercials. They’ve been there with me through all my days as an athlete in soccer, basketball and football. At all levels whether it was all-star teams or the powerhouse that is LSU football, I more often than not chose Nike gear. I figured they ought to be with me on one of the most important days of my life too.
During my wedding reception (5.9.2009), I will need that extra confidence and bounce to make sure I can make it to each food station with ease as they unveil new dishes throughout the night, meet n’ greet my guests with grace and, more importantly, glide with elegance and style on the dance floor. I will only be able to perform at my maximum in a set of Nike Shox. Using this reasoning and my superb litigation skills, I convinced my fiancee to let me wear a pair of Nike Shox during the wedding reception!!
The best part: I’ve chosen the shoe, but YOU get to choose the style and have a chance to win $50!!! It’s quite simple to compete and win, so here are the rules:
1) Go to NIKEiD and design a pair of Nike Shox for me to wear at the wedding reception.
2) The model has to be a running shoe, which are the “Turbo+ iD,” “Experience+ iD,” “ NZ iD” or the “Turbo+ VI iD.”
3) Save the design to your Nike profile (aka “myLocker”), use the “share” feature at the bottom right to copy the hyperlink to the design and then comment on this post with your design and hyperlink for all to see.
4) The winner, chosen by us, will receive a $50 Nike gift card!
5) Pictures of the shoes in action will be posted upon return from the honeymoon.
You can read the backstory on this contest here.
Considerations…
1) My groomsmen and ring bearer will have the option to wear these shoes as well, so your design could be on eight pairs of feet!!
2) Feel free to comment on the blog with questions or check here regarding anything about the wedding so you can better tailor your design. e.g. What are your colors?
3) Feel free to email me the wallpaper download, so I can put a copy in my Flickr Stream.
4) This is a subjective contest, so if you like someone’s design, please leave a comment saying so. It may influence the results. Also, my wonderful fiancée gets the final say-so.
5) Even if you’re not competing, pass along the link to this blog. Increased competition yields better results. That’s what Nike and I are all about.
6) Feel free to ask me any questions about the NIKEiD site or this contest. Contest ends when my bachelor party begins at Midnight EST on April 1, 2009!!
