1GB Nike shoe USB flash drive disregards trademark

While we've seen the swoosh used on questionably licensed apparel before, we're fairly certain that a one-off Japanese e-tailer isn't selling a svelte Nike USB flash drive before the company itself with due permissions in place. Nevertheless, users can (well, for the time being, at least) pick the 1GB training shoe USB drive for their Mac or PC, and while it doubles as a keychain or hangs on tight to your Kensington lock port, the real utility is stored beneath the toe. Admittedly, it doesn't look half bad (click through for more proof), but we'd recommend plopping down your ¥2,480 ($20) real quick like before the legal teams return on Monday.

Nice.

Although, the even nicer Panasonic notebook in the background detracts from the overall
'coolness' of the Nike iPod flash drive thingo.

Still, I'd get one.

I think it's pretty ugly, as USB drives go. It does appear to be made of a nice soft rubber, so it is probably fairly 'rugged'.

Looks just like mine :-)

third-world countries exploiting Nike, for a nice change from the norm? :p

Since it's not made by Nike there's a good chance some 8 year old kid won't have made it for 3 peanuts and some dirty water.

Apparently everybody missed the joke. "Sneaker Net" anyone?
