Question
The name 'Nike' which is a popular logo on many items is actually the name of the Greek goddess of victory. Is it permissible to wear such clothing?
Answer
The fact that the name 'nike' was the name of the mythological Greek goddess of victory, is an added and aggravated cause for emphasizing the prohibition of wearing any such shoes/ garments bearing this logo of shirk and kufr. The aspect of Tashabbuh Bil Kuffaar (emulating the kuffaar) is further aggravated by this haraam logo of shirk.
