It's "gaming related clothing" whatever the fuck that means

Okay see? THERE. That’s what I mean. What the fuck do sneakers have to do with gaming? What the fuck is the connection here?!

It's literally just cross-promotion to appeal to young men, it has no real connection

Some underpaid marketing intern did a bunch of spreadsheets and projections indicate that Nike can make more money if they advertise to gamers

Yeah okay. You got me there. I understand this.
