Shirt #9: Nike Beatles T-Shirt
Availability: Search Defunkd
Tag: Blue
Era: 1984-88
Fact: In 1987 Nike came up with a tag line for promoting a new group of Nike Air shoes — “Revolution in Motion.” Nike and its ad agency wanted to use the Beatles’ classic 60s song, “Revolution” during the commercials, so they paid $500k for rights. But not to the Beatles though – to Michael Jackson who had purchased the Beatles music catalog in 1985.
Approximate Value: $1000

![[ LINK IN BIO ] In honor of May the 4th we connected with a gentleman named Shawn whose father, Ira, worked for ILM. He designed the Biker Scout, need we say more? Shawn shared an epic tale of a bootleg Star Wars tee his dad heroically stashed away despite George Lucas' attempt to have it destroyed.

RIP Ira Keeler. Long live the resistance.

Looking forward to hearing everyone’s opinions on the Geisha shirt when it will surely be featured in the Going once, going twice, going broke. Same seller too.
