It's only understandable that Nike don't want those "profane" words in their products, just imagine how that will stain the giant brand's name.

it would have been interesting to see any of these words come up on any sneakers.

No matter what the product is you really need to use such powerful words in order to attract and convince customers to try it out, advertising your product is really important to market it effectively

Unfortunately NIKEiD doesn't permit hyphens. Good call though.

Haha, Great point! but In trademark law, confusability is a key metric, so if something sounds similar e.g. "Sooperman" it is not allowed. In anycase the ridicule argument is a great one.

Spiderman might work because the trademarked name is Spider-Man (hyphen, capital M) and no comics nerd would want to face the ridicule from his peers that the misspelling of the webhead's name on his kicks would bring.

Spider-Man should be hyphenated.

Thanks for the info David. I haven't watched any rugby matches so I appreciate you sharing your expertise. I still think it is a little weird, if only because completely innocuous words like "Kick" are banned, but something with such a potent double meaning is allowed!

Hookers might be included because its a position in rugby. Its the name of the position in the middle of the front row of the scrum. His main job is to hook the ball with his foot as it enters the scrum. He also throws the ball in at a line out (traditionally at least).
