  2. duffy says:

    And we play skabetllab!

  3. JohnB says:

    We saw one of these sandals a few months back, I believe. But the BNA is obviously the pro basketball league for those with severe dyslexia.

  4. PoodleGroomer says:

    We cant use quotes or commas anymore because they are a copyright violation of the knie swoosh.

  5. Danbala says:

    OMFG, excellent.

  6. powermuffin says:

    I would like to see some knock-off Nike stuff cleverly misspelled as “Kike”.

    Shalom everybody!

  7. JohnB says:

    Obviously, when you warm up in these, you do lots of deep knie bends.

  8. spamihazit says:

    …am I gonna be the only person who says these slippers must be from Hawaii?

    • spamihazit says:

      My fault… thought it said “kine”

      • JohnB says:

        Do you have dyslexia??

        • spamihazit says:

          To be far, it IS upside down, and it was after a very long day. And I have minor brain-damage from a car accident….and also a propensity for making excuses.
          Um, so… I say YOU have dyslexia! Of the FACE! Burn!

          • JohnB says:

            When I talk to people about learning disabilities, I state that each of us has some sort of learning disability, in that we learn that particular thing or through that particular modality less well than others. The example I like to cite is that I am terrible with sequential directions, first turn here, then turn here, etc. But I am great with maps. So give me detailed directions, and if I remember to bring them I might be able to find it. But draw me a map, and if I really looked at it I could probably leave it home and still arrive without trouble (and in fact I’ve done this several times.) My wife is the opposite. She can remember sequences, but is utterly useless with a map. And of course there have been many intelligent, creative, and successful people who have been known to have had learning disabilities. Jimi Hendrix remains my all-time favorite musician, and even while improvising he never seemed to hit a wrong note on the guitar. But he was known to mess up lyrics fairly often. Of course, I’m sure the massive quantities of LSD he took before and during concerts (he’d soak his headband in LSD, and he would absorb it through his skin). So really, no offense intended, particularly since I was really just joking. Anybody can misperceive something.

            • spamihazit says:

              …lol. I was being silly. I took no offense. I figured you were joking, and I joked back. Forgive my weird humor.
              I often interject after people say common things… Like “Put it on the table” and reply with VERY CLEVER sayings as “YOU’RE a table”. I don’t know where I got this from, or why I find it funny.

              • JohnB says:

                No offense intended, and none taken. 90% of what I say is intended to be funny. If I’m not being funny, I usually say I’m being serious.

  9. JohnB says:

    In the BNA, you get wot piston for a bakset, but there pintos if it’s form hindbe the ether piton lien. If you’re duelfo, though, you get a reef worth, which will only get you neo intop.

  10. david j says:

    Quit complaining. As long as all the letters are there, they meant well.

  11. Darth Yoda-Wan Windujinn says:

    And we want…….a shrubbery!

  12. Madsen says:

    The Nikes who say Knie? :-p

  13. D.R. says:

    Well, they were consistent. They messed up NBA and Nike.

    Maybe they thought that by making a ‘mistake,’ they wouldn’t get sued?

  14. Diamond says:

    BNA!!! Nashville Airport for the win!! haha.

  15. niki says:

    (no offense intended… if ne offense occurs u may punch me in the face…)
    maybe the person who made it was dyslexic(sp?)

  16. abnormal says:

    did u notice that not only is the nike mixed… but also the NBA

    • JohnB says:

      Really? I wish I had noticed that in my comment of Jul 6 at 12:22 PM, or perhaps my comment on July 6 at 1:46 PM! Or perhaps Diamond might have noted that in his comment of July 6 at 3:07 pm. But thank you so much for pointing that out, since we were all so clueless!

  17. keshet says:

    Playing basketball in sandals is not recommended.

    • JohnB says:

      On the contrary! I hear it is highly recommended by three out of four orthpedic surgeons, and seven of eight of those surgeons who are driving luxury cars more than three years old.

    • bluejade says:

      Nor is jump rope in Birkenstocks, I broke my big toe on the second jump.

  18. ellojello101 says:

    o hai, i tink thoz ar reguer sandulz but fotoshoppt into a mirrored imige uv reguler nike sandulz. duz u gets it?

  19. Kiomi says:

    Additionally, ‘knie’ is dutch for knee.

  20. Jeff says:

    Best part of the whole movie.

    We’re the knights who saaay…. NI!
    NOOOO STOOOOP

  21. Rob says:

    A souvenir from the gift shop at Nashville airport?

  22. amethyst says:

    If you’re going to infringe on copyright for fun and profit at the expense of the gullible, you might as well go all the way. All it needs is a “Relox” MBL watch to go with it.

  23. Mastenbreurtje says:

    Where can I get these? :)

  24. Jack says:

    You idiots… It’s just NBA in a different language.

    For example, adjectives come first in english where they come second in spanish.
    Therefore, National Basketball Association becomes Basquetból Naciónal Associación.
    Hence BNA.

    • hollyr57 says:

      Thank you for enlightening the idiots, oh wise one, He Who Is Humorless.

    • PHT13 says:

      Sorry in Spanish is a little different, the correct form is “Asociación Nacional de Baloncesto”. Baloncesto is the Spain-Spanish word and basquetbol is the American-Spanish word.

    • JohnB says:

      The fact is that when news reports of organizations from other countries, most especially the Spanish-speaking countries, occur, the acronym for the organization remains with the order unchanged. For example, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia are referred to in every article I have ever read as FARC, not RAFC. It’s a fact, Jack!

  25. tails says:

    is it a shoe for dyslexics?

  26. Sam says:

    I took this picture. It was in China. Hainan Island specifically. At a hostel I stayed at. It just combined nike and NBA I am pretty sure, and it just messed them both up badly.

    • Yuri says:

      I am pretty sure they did not mess up. Rather, they intentionally mess it up due to branding, copyright, and legal issues about selling brand names.

      You can find plenty of these things mimicking branded items in Chinatown SF/NY/DC/etc. Some imitations are very like the real thing you can’t really tell the difference.

  27. Kookoo says:

    Norleb Samej is Knie’s biggest ednosrer. Then Kobe.

  28. ShadowPhrogg says:

    balletbask paylers utine!!!

  29. roflcopter says:

    my christmas wishlist for this year is going to be for a pair of knie shawx!

  30. Mark says:

    I bought some “Hike” brand shoes in MExico.
