Nike has freely chosen their lane, I'll choose mine. I will continue wearing New Balance. My children will not wear Nike shoes unless they buy them with their own money. And that's going to be a long time.

This being said, don't delude yourselves. There's a lot of money to be made right now in trashing America.

Answer to the price increase is simple. The company is buying back its own stock thereby pushing up the price.

But you know, they lose in the end. As people get older they become more Conservative because they have more to lose. Couple that with the fact less children are doing born and from where I sit they will pay the price at some point.

If they’re doing so well, they don’t need a handout from Arizona, do they?

More tangible evidence we cannot live together.

We can separate peacefully or separate with strife and violence. But clearly we cannot co-exist.

I guess that was the plan all along.

My guess is that there were a bunch of dummy trades to boost the price.

Nikes are poorly made and vastly overpriced. When you buy their shoes you are paying for all their advertising campaigns, not the product.

I wear ASICS for running.

And remember, NIKE is marketing to the ghetto mentality.

Nike owns the minority shoe market. A person can be robbed and killed for wearing some of their shoes in some neighborhoods. Nike is catering to their market. I doubt they care a jot about the underlying social issues other than how it relates to profit.

We are not the target audience. In my last job, one of my co-workers collects Air Jordans. He has over 300 pairs. I am not kidding. He is black, but he is not a Kapernick fan, he just likes the shoes and decides to collect. He is also very good at what he does, working through the ranks, and has my respect as an employee and co-worker.

But families together cannot begin to compete with what Nike has built among people who buy expensive sneakers, and lots of them.

Well, I WILL NOT buy any Nike product ever again. That is how this Patriot feels about it. Even if they apologized, I wouldn’t buy their anti-American Kap the Sap Crap.
