I have been supporting this Nike campaign for quite some time (I even put it on my FB’s status), but didn’t actually buy the product. Today, I bought the laces (RM15 at your reputable Nike stores everywhere) and with it, some feel good feelings that I’m contributing some money to Africa for them to fight AIDS.
The Nike campaign is fronted by the African football stars (notably Didier Drogba). Assholes aside, this is a very good cause to be indulge in and by buying the laces for RM15, it’s money well spent (than your early morning cappuccino at your local coffee shops).
You can read more about this campaign at (NIKE)RED and Nike Football.
Just a word of caution: the red laces are primarily designed to be used on football boots (hence the origin of the African footballers), therefore the laces are smaller and shorter than the normal sneakers. But by tightening the laces (or even skipping some holes on the shoes), you will be able to tie the laces together.
