Hey Nike! I would have bought a pair of these. Now you have provided a reason to NOT buy any Nike product.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if Zion Williamson decided to opt OUT of his Nike shoe contract because of this move by Nike.

I wear Brooks too. Most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. Way better than Nike.

Unless you can post something coherent please leave me off your ping list. Your nonsensical crap is bad enough on the threads I do visit - I don’t need to be dragged into others.

The colonies weren’t formed as “slave states” or “slave colonies”, they were formed as colonies. It is true that slavery was practiced in one form or another (and to one degree or another) in each of the colonies. So what?

But it is only the would-be nation of confederlandia that was predicated on and dedicated to the proposition of enslavement of other human beings. NOT the colonies, and NOT the United States.

I love it when the left does so much to guarantee Trump is reelected.

I haven't bought Nike in over 30 years. They discrminate against people with wide feet.

New Balance 12EEEE fit perfectly.

I did last year. I was going to buy Nike then they hired Colon Kaeperndickhead so I bought New Balance instead, AND the most expensive sneaker they had which I believe cost me $180 even though I was looking to spend around $60 and I sent a copy of the email receipt to Nike

They should put out sneakers with his face on it and call it “The fraud line”.

But it is only the would-be nation of confederlandia that was predicated on and dedicated to the proposition of enslavement of other human beings.

So you assert, but this thing you claim it was founded upon was the normal state of affairs in 1776 USA. I think what you are saying is that when all the Northern states decided it should be abandoned, those backward Southern states simply wanted things to remain as they were.

You now characterize their preference to not "change" as some sort of change from the status quo, when it is not.

I am reminded of the latest cultural elites who tell us that if we don't accept "transgenderism" and 57 flavors of gender, we are backward rubes who refuse to be enlightened.

Well sometimes backwards rubes don't want to be enlightened, and also don't want to be part of a country that wants to "enlighten" them.

I suspect you might be feeling a bit of that now, but I could be wrong and perhaps you are all too willing to embrace the new morality being sold by our cultural elites today.

Me too.

There is a family owned shoe store here in Nashua called Alec’s. Best shoe store ever. It has been in business since 1938. They have straight commission salesmen and women.

The guy asked me I wanted. I said something comfortable. He said that 4 out the 5 salesmen in the store were wearing Brooks Ghosts because they were on their feet all day in the store.

That sold me.

That is exactly what I have, a pair of Brooks Ghosts.

My wife loves their ladies' shoes, too.

C'mon everyone, break the Nike habit!

Why is Nike letting their mascot make business decisions?

Yeah. What..... they pay them a buck an hour or some such trivial amount. Sell the shoes for hundreds.

Never had Nike crap. Never will.
