I called Nike. They were very polite as was I. I explained I was upset about their actions regarding their sneaker and the woman explained to me that the story going around on the web is wrong. According to her the sneaker introduction was pulled because it was an old flag. I don’t believe it for a moment and I did tell her that.
I did say to her that I have been a Nike buyer in the past but I will never again buy a Nike product. She then told me that they were getting swamped with calls like mine and that she too was an American and was upset by the actions of the company. She probably put her job in Jeopardy by saying this.
I urge everyone to call and express their great disappointment and anger with the company.
