Nike is throwing some shade at New Balance and Cooper Flagg with a simple yet effective four-word troll: “30 Burger in Sweet 16” ¹. This cheeky jab is likely a reference to Cooper Flagg’s impressive performance in the Sweet 16, where he led the Duke Blue Devils to a 100-93 win over the Arizona Wildcats ¹ ².
It’s worth noting that Cooper Flagg is actually sponsored by New Balance, which makes Nike’s troll even more interesting ². Nike’s tweet, which included the hashtag “Powered by the Swoosh,” is a clear nod to their own brand and a playful jab at their competitor ¹.
