You know who to boycott. It’s not like they’re affordable with the tariffs anyway.

    Heh. Fuck Nike.

    Overpriced fashion accessories for impressionable people with disposable income.

    I never have nor will I ever purchase a pair of Nike shoes.

    We truly do have the best government money can buy.

    Anyone know of comfortable sneaker alternatives that are reasonably priced, available globally, and aren’t hideously ugly?

    I’ve been wearing Jordans for most of my life. They’re cheap, they look good (I like them) and they’re comfy. But the quality has been going down the last 5 years or so and the writing had been on the wall.

    I guess now is as good a time as any to make a change but every time I’ve looked for alternatives I’ve been frustrated that nobody makes shoes I actually like.

      Depends on… well, a lot of factors. I’d start by looking at “walking shoes” and “trail runners”, they tend to be lightweight and comfortable without fully giving up on durability. Appearance is a matter of taste.

    How unsurprising this oligarch. Always betting on the fucking elephant.

    Never had a swishy because they were then expensive 33 years ago as they are now.

    Didn’t the Republicans boycott Nike some years ago? Do they still? It would be very funny of everybody boycotted them.

    Imagine, someone who champions slave labor to make over priced, defective “athletic” products is against democracy…

    He financed a spoiler candidate for OR governor last election. That spoiler candidate was too obviously right wing to siphon enough votes, despite what she was being paid to say.

    Phil knight is strongly opposed to democracy.
