The Chronic Consumer

Have you heard that Broncos QB Tim Tebow has his own Nike shoe coming out already? That’s pretty crazy, especially considering he wasn’t even the No. 1 overall pick or anything. Then again, Tebow does have the best-selling jersey in the entire NFL, so maybe the marketing gurus at Nike are onto something.

At any rate, the shoe is kind of ugly, if you ask me. It’s supposed to coincide with the release of the EA Sports NCAA 11 video game, so it has details like “NCAA 11″ stitched across the velcro straps, and the EA Sports logo on the tongue. Also, the heels feature important dates from Tebow’s college career, and the word Promise, along with “September 27th 2008″, which of course was when Tebow made his famous press conference remarks after losing to Ole Miss.

I personally think these shoes are butt ugly, but I’m sure they’ll sell out quickly! (Nike is making a limited edition to start with.)
