CNBC's Darren Rovell is reporting that Nike has suspended the release of the Vick V shoe, which was scheduled to be in stores on Aug. 23.
From Nike's official release:
"Nike is concerned by the serious and highly disturbing allegations made against Michael Vick and we consider any cruelty to animals inhumane and abhorrent. We do believe that Michael Vick should be afforded the same due process as any citizen; therefore, we have not terminated our relationship. We have however made the decision to suspend the release of the Zoom Vick V and related marketing communications. Nike will continue to monitor the situation closely and have no further comment at this time."Expect more of Vick's endorsement deals (such as AirTran and Coca-Cola) to quickly come to an end as this situation develops even further.

Oooh, that is BIG NEWS! Nice find dude.
Just so we're clear:
For Nike, animal cruelty = bad
sweatshop labor = good
Return to your daily routines. Do not look directly at the swoosh at any time.
