Nike kick up a stink

Nike are in hot water again, but this time its something a little more trivial, BBC Watchdog has been reporting a somewhat stinky issue over certain Nike football boots, the Nike mercurial and Total 90's to be exact, these boots can cost anywhere up to £100 and there have been a lot of complaints over a certain smelly issue.
The problems seem to happen once they have been worn, and in wet conditions it seems worse. Matt Vickers who lives in Burton and plays football for his local under 13 side had worn them for the first time and on the way back home Matt's father had to open the windows in his car the smell was that bad. Luckily for Matt a family friend owns a company which sells commercial laundry equipment so he took the boots there. But even after they has been washed several times and in some industrial large washing machines the smell still had not gone.
Matt Jones who lives in Sheffield had the same problem, everyone kept blaming the cat he said because the smell was like cat wee.

The BBC took up the case and took the boots to Kevin Guildford who is one of the UK'S leading footwear specialists, Kevin explained that it was the material inside the boots that was causing the problem, "when the cotton canvas gets wet it rots, the moisture cant escape because of the materials around the cotton don't let it breath.

Nike have since told the BBC that they have seen a small number of cases with this problem, and whilst it doesn't affect the performance of the boot they do understand the inconvenience and embarrassment that could be caused.
They have told their customers that if they take the boots back to the store they will be given a full refund.
