A line of shoppers waits at the downtown Outer Limits skate shop and clothing retailer Friday morning.

nike watchOriginally uploaded by andynoise
well i just got back from our hart park adventure and have time to write about my nike trip. i went to the track one and this gathering was about cross country.
dyestatcal coverage HERE
nike has a great meeting building in culver city. it is like an art gallery. the front lobby is huge and this time it was full of baseball memorbillia. last time it had running stuff.
first off, nike serves us some finger food and refreshments and we get to mingle. in this room, we also get to checkout their new shoes, uniforms and other accessories.
then we went to the screening room and they told us about their new shoes and other products. i like that they admit that they lost their focus on running and that now they are really trying to reconnect with the running community.
all their new shoes looked great and so did the watches and the sunglasses. they even gave us one of the triax watches. we can also buy some as a team and get a really good deal on them.
i gave coach the watch nike gave me. so now he has a stopwatch.
nike also told us about their national championship which sounds really cool.
