yeah like four years ago, when I was in high school, I remember those.

Are you sure? These supposed to be after the Dove campaign. They have been critisized copying from Dove. I have NEVER seen them around thought they might be for women magazines only and/or not for the US market.

I definitely remember seeing them in the gym a really long time ago - someone had posted them in our women’s locker room.

Yep, I remember seeing Nike ads to this effect years ago - don’t remember how long ago or if it was this exact copy/photos but I do recall this concept. I don’t see these as being like Dove ads. They really aren’t referring to thunder thighs as that of an overweight women or “typcial woman” but rather of a strong muscular athletic woman … same with the butt and shoulders. The Dove ads are more it’s okay if your body isn’t perfect or your overweight and to accept yourself as you are. I feel the Nike ads are geared more to someone like myself - I have tons of scars from crashes in cycling races, surgeries, and growing up tomboy; I usually wear a size 0 petite but often have to buy jeans a size larger to fit my thighs from all the cycling and weight training and have the waist taken in; and I have broader shoulders for my size because of all the swimming. I think Nike is targeting a completely different type of physique from what the Dove ads are promoting.

Old. My sister had stolen some from her school or gym or something- probably 5 years ago and had them in her room.

I’ve never seen them. Very cool.
