A nonbinary furry starred in Nike's latest advertising campaign amid a slump in sales at the legendary sportswear brand. Nike has been beset with poor sales over the past year while competitors like Adidas and Hoka have enjoyed surging profits. The company's latest campaign, Gaming Division, a collaboration with British designer Martine Rose, is tailored to the video gaming community.

The products launched on October 30 and were modeled by five new gaming-style 'characters' who Nike has described as 'heroes of a modern arena', defined by 'creative energy'.

They included nonbinary furry, Dominique McLean, 27, a professional esports player of several combat games whose 'fursona' - furry persona - and gaming alias is Sonic Fox. McLean, from Delaware, is the highest-paid fighting game esports player in the world, with earnings exceeding $800,000 from his gaming victories.

The self-proclaimed furry, who uses he/they pronouns and identifies as gay and nonbinary, is known to compete in a blue-and-white fox suit with a large Sonic the Hedgehog-style head.

Its funny to me living in Portland that all the liberals have abandoned them for Qn and Hoka.

There used to be more of a civic pride and most people here wore Nike but its actually liberals who have left.

Meh, it's probably the right strategy if that's their target demo for the shoes. It's not like you're going to sell gamers many gamer shoes by putting them on Mahomes.

It's a little different than Bud Light saying frick you to their target audience.

Are these shoes that go on their hands and knees while they pretend to be animals?

NIKE: Oh Noz! our sales continue to decline and our market share is tanking! What do we do!?

MARKET: maybe you should lower your prices and make better quality footwear.

NIKE: …… frick that. Let’s find a furry with the shittiest costume and hire it. Anyone got the number for Temu Sonic?

You mean a mentally deranged individual that thinks they’re an animal.

It’s amazing what companies will do instead of making their product better. I started wearing Brooks and they make Nikes look and feel like complete shite

Easy to shite on them for a lot of things, but they still make elite running/track shoes for athletes
