Question:
Hi I recently found out that the brand Nike is named after the mythological goddess Nike and the company symbol is a representation of her wings. I own a pair of Nike air forces and I’m unsure if I’m allowed to wear them is it like serving Agoda speak because she was the goddess of sport
Answer:
Hello,
You are allowed to wear them, because as far as you and most people are concerned, this is the name of a sneaker company. They might have given themselves that name for whatever reason they want, however as far as the customer is concerned it is a sneaker company.
Best wishes
