The only time I have been to Chicago was in 1998 and the one thing I had to do was go to Niketown. I have been mildly obsessed with the brand for as long as I can remember.

Niketown has locations in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Las Vegas, New York and of course home of Nike, Orgeon.

Reports have surfaced that Detroit could be getting a Nike store.

Patrick McInnis, CEO of Fathead, says that a Nike store will be indeed arriving in Detroit according to MLive.com.

McInnis said "high-end retail" has come or is coming soon to Detroit, including Moosejaw, Under Armour, designer John Varvatos and Nike.

After mentioning Nike, McInnis quickly corrected himself.

"I'm not supposed to say that, I don't think," he joked, prompting laughter from the crowd.

This could either be the best or the worst thing that has happened to me. I might end up having the best gear around but my wallet will take a hit. The Metro Detroit area has Nike factory stores at Birch Run as well as Howell.
