The other day I mentioned the $50,000 search for a game-winning hockey puck another game winner has sold recently for a high price . The "Jo'bulani ball," the gold-decorated Jabulani soccer ball used in the final World Cup match between Spain and the Netherlands sold on eBay for £48,200 (approximately $73,368). The auction raised money for 46664, Nelson Mandela's HIV/Aids education and prevention campaign.

The Jabulani has been a source of controversy. Adidas created the World Cup ball's "radical grip 'n' groove" technology which was supposed to provide stable flight and a perfect grip has been criticized by some players.

A total of 133 bids from 55 participants came in for the ball. It eventually went to a group of Spanish fans.

Nike advertising has a way - one of the biggest, best ways, actually - of seizing your attention. That is only in small part due to the ubiquity of the company's ads . It is more substantially due to: Nike ads don't sell products ; Nike ads sell you on the idea of being everything you can be, perhaps better than you ever thought you could be.

The company was founded on a single idea, and it has continued to let its ideas grab the attention, with the products playing... accessory, as it were, to the achievement of those ideas. When Luxist was invited to the Nike Golf Oven in Ft. Worth, Texas, we met the men behind Nike's idea of golf, and to see how those ideas were made material. You wouldn't guess this would be the place for a Skunkworks devoted to fairways and greens, but then again, there are a lot of things we'd have never guessed about Nike. This is just another one.
