NIKE to withhold Iranian soccer teams shoes for World Cup
 

antiwar.com - because of US sanctions just days before IRAN plays Morocco this Friday. The same sanctions were in place in 2014 but NIKE let them wear their shoes. Not this time. Adidas is a possible replacement.

They could always BUY THEIR OWN SHOES THAT THEY USE FOR ALL OF THEIR CLUB MATCHES

I don't understand. They get new shoes the day of the event? Wouldn't you want to wear the shoes that you've already been wearing and have broken in?

The issue is that they expected Nike shoes (ahead of time) so they could be broken in by World Cup time. But yes, they can just wear their old shoes. The whining is an attempt to shame the U.S. regarding sanctions.

Adidas? More like AdISIS.

They sure will look good on that pitch with their Pro Wings!

I guess they'll have to buy local, then. It's more patriotic anyway (Iran patriotic.)

Worthy of war crime charges. C'mon UN, level some sanctions!

Too bad no one will see it.

If the World Cup was being held in North America this year would the Iranian team be allowed to compete even though they qualified with TRUMP as president? Maybe only if their games were in CANADA or MEXICO?
