I would boycott Nike but have not owned a pair of Nike's for three decades. This is rich coming from a company that pays its production workers dollars a day while handing out multimillion checks to pro-athletes who already make seven figure incomes. This is a company who targets people to induce them to pay hundreds of dollars for a pair of sneakers that are on welfare.

I saw the ad, but it was too “sophisticated” for me. I didn’t really get it until I realized they were just selling shoes.

Ha! I just got my weekly email from them with the word ‘EQUALITY’ on it. I took it as being preachy about something, so I unsubscribed to all emails. They ask whether I wanted to give a reason for unsubscribing but I declined, because I didn’t want to waste anymore of my precious weekend time.

So tired of this non stop carping. A ship that stays at general quarters 100% of the time stops taking it seriously. The constant revolutionary socialism everywhere is getting old. People are tuning out.

comes from images of LeBron James, Serena Williams, Kevin Durant, Victor Cruz, Gabby Douglas, Megan Rapinoe, Dalilah Muhammad

No Latinos????? No gay men????? No transgender people???? No disabled people????? Can you believe the bigotry and privilege on display in this ad? Nike ought to be ashamed of itself of being so anti-inclusive in its ad campaign. They need to be fined by the PC police!!!!

Do they really mean “equal”? if so, then their execs have to start by paying themselves the same amount they pay their janitors.

Is this the Nike that treats their employees like slave labor?

Did we not go through a tumultuous and ultimately successful civil rights movement fifty years ago?! What is with the sh*t?!

I’ve never worn Nike athletic shoes because their comfort leaves much to be desired compared to the New Balance shoes I normally wear (I have three pairs of New Balance shoes and plan to get a fourth soon).

First Reebok, now Nike. It seems the only one left is Under Armour.
I’m noticing that in order to no longer buy from companies that sold out to the Left, I’m buying more and more of my products from non-American companies. Is that ironic or what?

Is this "powerful new ad campaign" powerful enough to sell sneakers?

It's business. All else is BS.

I'm not their target market, so it doesn't matter if the irritate me.
