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?
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
er can you give me a link pls that supports your claim that nike gives a damn about the environment ??
I have faced it, A life wasted...
Take my hand, my child of love
Come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean,
I've been crying all these years
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.
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.
