In this particular case, no
Not enough competition and they are usually well made
Even if by slave labor
But every other co that gets woke takes a hit

I guess if you can’t play football, you have to find something else to do.

I’m pleased to admit that I’ve never owned a pair of Nikes. I won’t buy any. Not now. NOT EVER.

Nike obviously doesn’t fear any backlash from those of us who love our country and its history. It really is a sad commentary that they are probably right, in part because they know few people will ever hear about this.

With Colon K, I think it’s the daily soy enemas that are causing his micro-aggression triggerings.

Gosh I wish I bought Nike products. So I could stop buying that crap and begin boycotting them.


Same here. Who is Nike anyway? (Just kidding)

I wear a leg brace so it’s gotta be lace up and have decent support. Crocs are my at home slippers, but just inside the house. Outside I’d be reeling like a drunken sailor without the brace.

The only nikes I ever wore were astroturf cleats for the state semifinals. And those were bought by the booster club.

If you're getting Converse high tops, they're owned by Nike.

My post was a kind of a gag. I was playfully referring to the classic 1950-’60’s shoe that the Couz indorsed back then and all kids wanted. I don’t know if they are still made or by whom.

I had a pair of New Balance that I was wearing for ten + years. Went looking for new shoes because the souls were about gone. Couldn’t find any I liked and thought to ask if they had any of the ones I was wearing? Sure enough. Got the same NB model and size, and they look every bit as good as the wore out ones on my feat to give me another outstanding 10+ years.

Nike sucks.

And that’s the key with leftist asshats.

Give in to 1 demand.

They got 10 more ready to go.

Might even have been some wanker at Nike’s idea in the first place.

The big question is just how much did Nike have to eat on this dumb move? Your talking a lot of money here, who’s going to take the loss?

There used to be a company named Nike. The only thing they made in America was money. An American traitor was their downfall. Of course, there were executives who couldn’t figure out that a flag should be near the heart of a patriot. What heels!
