Ashton Eaton isn’t the only one getting a special award for his Decathalon win at the Olympics this summer, as Nike has gifted newborn babies in Portland with a special pair of sneakers. As part of the “Unlimited Future” campaign that featured an inspirational commercial depicting some of Nike’s top athletes as babies (embedded below if you missed it), Nike gifted children born on Thursday, August 18th with a very special pair of Waffle 1 crib sneakers with an inspirational note within a “My First Nike” box. The sneakers—in the “Unlimited” Volt and Hyper Punch colorway, of course—were given out to newborns at the Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center to celebrate Portland-born Ashton Eaton’s second consecutive gold medal in the decathalon, which basically confirms him as the world’s greatest athlete for another four years.
