ClubNike was a Nike UK based fan club launched in 1986. Swoosh was the official magazine issued 3 times per year, featuring exclusive content, promotional items, competitions, interviews, 10% selected store discounts etc.
This auction lot is from when I was a member 1986 - 1992, and if you’ve ever tried to find any of these items you’ll know just how rare they are. There’s very little information about ClubNike on the internet, let alone actual items for sale, so this is a golden opportunity for collectors to secure 19 straight running issues of Swoosh and several other ClubNike items all in one place.
The condition of each item has been indicated in the descriptions, so please read everything carefully. The issues of Swoosh were originally mailed to members in regular envelopes (clearly the budget didn’t stretch to cardboard backed ones!), and as a result some of them picked up minor folds and creases. None of the issues have any writing on them, the staples are all secure, and the edges and corners are mostly in excellent condition. Potential bidders should be aware issue #3 has an order form cut out of the back page (approx 65mm x 45mm). (I was 11 at the time, please forgive me!)
I have tried to be transparent about the condition of each item, please study the photos carefully as they also form part of the description. I am happy to provide additional photos or details on request for genuinely interested bidders.
