    Nike Airmax = Sportswear? Nah, as seen on waddling lardy hood-rats who congregate on the pedestrian area outside your nearest McShitburger with their shitty tracksuits and cap peak at 45degrees.

    Haha! I thought I was the only one who saw the irony in fat people wearing tracksuits!

    They don't make beef...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Oh...Indian Summer, for a good film on this kind of stuff you might want to check out The Corporation. And if you want one involving sport, and a Nike sponsored athlete (Tiger Woods), check out The Golf War. It shows the very concerted effort that corporations go through to push through profitable entities at the cost of the many, through propaganda, political strong arming, and celebrity endorsers.
    thanks i will try to check them out, but i am indiansummer without a blank :P

    I'm a Nike fan especially Nike ID.

    I used the online shoe design feature make my PJ tour sneakers. I wore them out for the EV shows and got quite a few compliments.

    I have to disagree with this. I run everyday, and every time I try any other brand but Nike, my feet end up hurting. Right now I'm using New Balance and they suck balls. I'm going to give them a few more months and then buy new Nike's again. Reeboks and Adidas suck too on my feet.

    I always take issue with any enterprise that sells shoes for 100 plus bucks and pays the people who make the products mere cents.

    morally, how can someone be okay with that.

    sweatshops and unfair working conditions, imtimidation of anyone trying to start a union, and lets be real people the company doesnt give a damn about the environment

    I grew up and still live in the birthplace of Nike, Eugene Oregon.

    Somehow I dont think Pre would like what the company has become

    I also think its the whole status symbol that bugs me. Maybe it isnt this way anymore but when MJ was still playing, the shoes were like Mercedes or a Bentley. That implied something about the wearer or the comsumer.

    Why cant nike make affordable shoes? Are any shoes really worth 100 bucks? Especially considering their is no way they actually took 100 dollars worth of material to make?

    Agreed, the only pair of workout shoes I've bought in the last 5 or 6 years are Nike Air Max or Shox. They fit nicely are very comfortable and have lasted at least 2 to 3 years per pair... not a bad investment at $100.
