Mr. Rogers Never Wore Nike.
He could have had his own signature shoe. He could have thrown on a Gap cardigan and watched his trolley roll down a miniature Amtrak track and lined his pressed Banana Republic slacks with many dollars. But those thoughts never crossed his mind. Or our minds. Or the minds of the children who were watching. Because of donations from viewers, WHYY is able to keep its content pure, intelligent and insightful. Join today to help keep WHYY vital. And Mr. Rogers' feet swoosh-free.
