I disagree. Create Online had and article(before they went under) on usability/conventions/standards that alluded to automobile manufacturing: The horn of a car could literally be anywhere on the car but it is placed on the horn because that is what people are used to. Same goes with the gas/brake pedals, etc.
In the web world, if you have blue-underlined text then most people are going to assume that's a link.
HOWEVER, the point is intuitiveness; one way to go about this is via the cursor changing from an arrow to a hand(glove?)
I think the nike,com link you referenced is just as intuitive without the hand cursor change.
J_red argues that this is a creative step toward changing convention.
What do you think about that?
