It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. By now you have probably heard that our own Oscar Pistorius came in at number 23 of Times’ list of The World’s Most Influential People. In the category Heroes and Pioneers, nogal. Of course we couldn’t resist pointing out our connection to him …

No one in our team who had the privilege of working with Oscar in preparation for the Nike launch is actually surprised – only happy to see that he’s getting such wide recognition. Erik Weihenmayer, the only blind person to conquer Mount Everest, wrote the article on Oscar. He sums it up very well: “It’s too easy to credit Pistorius’ success to technology. Through birth or circumstance, some are given certain gifts, but it’s what one does with those gifts, the hours devoted to training, the desire to be the best, that is at the true heart of a champion.” Click here to read the full article & here to see the photos Warren van Rensburg took of Oscar for the Nike Be True exhibition.
