Nike Shoes -- Wave of the Future? (2003/02/28)

耐克新潮流?運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋踏浪而來(lái)難成雙 (2003/02/28)

They may be wet, even a bit briny, and it might be hard toNike Shoes -- Wave of the Future?find a matching pair, but you won't find Nike Inc. shoes cheaper anywhere.

The maker of athletic gear lost 45,756 shoes -- or 22,878 pair -- that fell off a storm-tossed container ship in December on the way from Long Beach, California, to Tacoma, Washington. Now beachcombers are finding them along the Pacific coast of the Canada and the United States.

According to Seattle oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer, who is cataloging Nike beachings in Washington state, the aquatic parade of shoes should continue to land along the British Columbia coast in Canada and meander to Alaska's Aleutian Islands since they abandoned ship near Mendocino, California.

Nike says the shoes will be perfectly usable, once dried, but pairs were not tied together, most likely preventing a glut of free shoes that might dampen sales. The first ones found in Washington state were both lefts and came in different sizes.

Nike spokesman Lee Weinstein said, "If you can't find a match, send the shoe back to us and we'll recycle it." Nike grinds down old shoes to use as athletic field surfacing.

Most of the lost shoes were made for children, Weinstein added, noting the company was fully insured against loss.

見(jiàn)過(guò)這樣的耐克運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋嗎?也許是濕的,可能還有點(diǎn)咸,而且要湊成一雙還有點(diǎn)困難。不過(guò),世界上也許再也找不著比這更便宜的耐克運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋了。

去年十二月,由于遭遇暴風(fēng)雨,這家運(yùn)動(dòng)產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)大戶在從加利福尼亞長(zhǎng)灘到華盛頓塔科馬的運(yùn)貨途中丟了一只裝有22878雙,也就是45756只運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋的集裝箱?,F(xiàn)在,這些漂洋過(guò)海的運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋出現(xiàn)在了加拿大和美國(guó)的太平洋沿岸。

西雅圖海洋學(xué)者柯蒂斯·埃貝斯邁爾負(fù)責(zé)整理漂流到華盛頓沿岸的運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋。他說(shuō),因?yàn)檫@些鞋是在加利福尼亞附近的門多西諾角"棄船而逃"的,所以這一漂流大軍還可能繼續(xù)前往加拿大的不列顛哥倫比亞省海岸及阿拉斯加的阿留申群島。

耐克公司表示,這些鞋質(zhì)量很好,曬干以后仍然可以穿。但問(wèn)題出在想很少人能同時(shí)揀到一雙鞋,絕大部分都是一只一只地出現(xiàn),想要出售恐怕很困難了。在華盛頓找到的第一副鞋兩只都是左腳,尺碼也不一樣。

耐克公司的發(fā)言人李·溫斯坦呼吁說(shuō):"如果找到的鞋子不能湊成一雙,請(qǐng)還給公司,公司將負(fù)責(zé)回收。"他說(shuō),公司主要把廢掉的鞋子磨碎用于制作運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)地的鋪面。

據(jù)溫斯坦介紹,丟失的大部分是童鞋,并且全部都買了保險(xiǎn)。
