Marketing!! Please don't tell me you actually thought for one second that he actually paid for those in preparation for winning the World Series. If I remember correctly, this all began with oakley. It's actually brilliant.

he definitely didn't pay for them...but he probably got paid a lot to wear them.

I had to research more out of curiosity....websites are selling them as a cola goggles, as is dragon...but Nike sells them as nikes, doesn't say shit about dragon

Also I apologize for spouting false info, as in my research it appears nike did not buy dragon but is just helping them celebrate a 20th anniversary...my dude had told me other story last year and it seemed very logical at the time since once nike enters a sport they start buying up reputable brands and slapping swooshes on them ( hockey is a great example of this)
