I figured as much. I was in Kenya years back and many local housing unit (read shack/shanty) were built out of pallets and cargo boxes with logo's such as Coke, Nike etc... I met a guy who did hand wood carvings. I followed him back to his house to see some of his work. His "house" was made up of a bunch of boxes that said "Property of Nike." I said "So you live in the shoe house?" He said "why do you call it the "shoe house?" Because it says "Nike" all over it." He pointed at the writing and said this says "Nike?" "Yep." I went by the next week to pick up the elephant he carved for me and there was a Nike "swoosh" spray painted above the door.
An odd side note, as part payment I gave that guy my shoes.
