A crash in high end sneakers? That could work a real hardship on Chinese and Southeast Asian sweatshops. It could even lead to starvation among gulag workers. And the effects would inevitably filter upstream and impact the uber-woke, invariably left wing U.S. companies that profit off third world slave labor.
My idea of a high end sneaker is a jogging shoe at $70. My daily wear ones run around $45. I have spent $100 on a running shoe - back when I was younger and did 5Ks and 10Ks for fun. But I’m on Medicare now and not too interested in running for time anymore.
I don’t give a rat’s rear end if NIKE goes totally broke. I stopped buying ANYTHING from them decades ago. And those “high-end sneakers”? Let’s just say I avoid any part of any city where those are popular...
High end sneakers are typically made in Italy or France or the USA.
