Growing up poor in the 80s/90s Nike was a hated symbol, there was no chance I’d get anything beyond walmart brands, if new was even an option. So I learned to hate these symbols, but Nike chief among them. Today it’s funny but I can’t bring myself to buy it even tho it’s a much cheaper brand.
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.
I actually liked Nike, until I heard of sweatshops, and now this.
Could anyone recommend an ethical alternative that is also high quality?

I can relate. I grew up in the Mississippi Delta so poverty was certainly not a lifestyle choice.
I have one pair and i like them. But for a lot of people it’s a religion.
