In a letter sent yesterday from Nike to Dischord Records, whose Minor Threat album art they used for a skateboarding poster, apologized for their misjudgment, writing, “Because of the album’s strong imagery, and because our East Coast tour ends in Washington DC, we felt it was a perfect fit. This was a poor judgment call and should not have been executed without consulting Minor Threat and Dischord Records.” The full apology letter is over at Pitchfork and on the Nike site.
