Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc (KBLB)

I don't think that Nike is off the table for KBLB; i think this article is just addressing the former experience of the people working for them. If you check their website, you will see that their chief marketing officer used to work at Nike. Their VP of Product Development also lists Nike as previous job experience along with Patagonia whom they did partner up with.

Since they do have former Nike employees working there, they will have an advantage when negotiating, but ultimately Nike cares about profits, so I don't think that they will limit themselves to only one type of spider silk when others that may be cheaper or stronger are available.
