POLANSKI WALKS FREE
Dramatic shift in the Roman Polanski case: Polanski finally walks free. In my new shoes. Courtesy of Nike.
A quick recap: on Dec 4 2009, the Oscar winning French film-director with a troubled past was assigned from prison to house arrest in his luxury Gstaad chalet in Switzerland. As this coincided with my VIP Nike iD session in Zurich, I wanted to mark the day with a personal tribute to one of my favourite directors. However, my order for a pair of iD POLANSKI black leather Cortez got turned down on the ground it was not in sync with the Nike policy. This may be because it… contains material that we deem to be inappropriate to display on our products. As MILKY WAY also got censored, I eventually settled for PLAY (=shorthand for Polanski, kind of). The Cortez arrived ok. I was ok. All that remained of my great masterplan was a screenshot. I was ok with that too.

But somehow, someone at Nike clearly wasn’t. I don’t understand how this could happen to such a big corp. But I like to imagine somewhere in a backoffice there’s a Polanski fan who thought: JUST DO IT.
Thank you.
One pressing question: if I walked my POLANSKIS in th U.S. would that get me arrested?
