Wieden + Kennedy Statement Re: Nike Air
Dri-Goat Advertisement
October 25, 2000
"We have stepped over the line with this
advertisement and there is no excuse for it. We have hurt a group of people for
whom we have enormous admiration. These are men and women who demonstrate more
courage in a single day than most of us will in our lifetime; who accomplish
more, inspire more, and have far more reasons to be proud. For myself personally
and for this advertising agency, I deeply apologize. I only wish there were a
way to run the clock backwards." – Dan Wieden, Co-Founder & CEO
