In ancient Greek civilization, Nike (/ˈnaɪki/; Ancient Greek: Νίκη, lit. 'victory'
Nike has been ridiculed online for photos of a new line of trainers that feature Greek lettering to spell out the brand name.
The trainers are a modified pair of white Air Force 1 Lows. The shoes feature textured leather and an extended mesh tongue that appear to represent wings. Inside the shoe, the Ancient Greek definition of the Goddess Nike has is printed on the insole.
On the heel of the left shoe, the word Nike has been embroidered in Greek looking letters using silver thread. Meanwhile, on the right shoe, a palm branch has been heightened to represent victory and there lies the problem.
