Its not just that, it seems like every week you put up a few Nike press releases, even ones that are half-truths at best which are nothing more than ads thinly veiled as press releases.

But that's what all press releases are. That's why they get labeled as press releases when they get posted. Every company writes them to make the company look good. But they also have pertinent info most of the time. You just gotta read between the lines as with all marketing material.

And Nike has been winning a lot lately and leaking their new stuff, so you should expect a lot of press releases from them.

I'm not sure what you mean by "half-truths" though. That implies "half-lies" and I don't recall anything beyond the normal "puffery" that all companies use.
