Nike has become one of the more woke companies under CEO John Donahoe, who succeeded founder Phil Knight. Knight built Nike into the dominant athletic footwear and apparel company in the world. Nike may join Disney as another formerly great American company being run into the ground.

Their target market has realized that shoplifting makes a lot more sense than actually paying for the product.

What makes them believe their customer base even know who “Jordan” is?

I stopped buying any Nike stuff (not that I had a lot of their gear) after they hired Michael Vick after his dog fighting conviction. They have been dead to me since. The other footwear companies may be just as bad. To be honest I don’t know but I now tend to buy as best I can non logo items as much as possible.

I am absolutely proud to be able to boast that I have not once in my lifetime owned or worn anything made by Nike.

"Thursday night, the company said demand for “lifestyle” sneakers, like Dunks, is slowing more than previously expected."
I would be ashamed to walk around the hobo tent city and not have on my lifestyle sneakers.

Haven’t purchased a Nike product since 1993. Their quality does not impress me.

Good riddance to Nike. This is the same company that ran an ad campaign with serial whiner and race-baiter Colin Kaepernick. Nike also ran an ad campaign in 2023 with transvestite Dylan Mulvaney for a tranny sports bra.

Nike also pushed to have 50% of their staff be "diversity" hires by 2025. They've had four "Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officers" (Chief - Didn't Earn It - Officer) since 2020. It's as though fake reparations for non-white people will compensate for use of actual Uighur slaves.
While a lot of this is karma and "going broke, get woke, go more broke", a lot of it is that they simply don't have a basketball player who can pimp out enough sneakers. Trying to have model Gigi Hadid and actor Bradley Cooper shill for them just doesn't translate into sales.

For years i bought the same style nikes.
Finally 2 years ago I switched to a similar style Reebok.
What a difference in comfort and durability.
I’m never going back.

I can’t remember ever buying any Nike gear, but I bought the stock on Friday after the drop. I’ve seen this play out before... company announced poor earnings, and the market overcorrects. I could be wrong, but Nike is still a great brand, and I think i can make some quick $$.

Pushing America Last athletes Colin Kaepernick and Megan Rapinoe as faces of the company was a terrible decision.

I work for an AAA affiliate of MLB. I get offered free gifts from this company and ALWAYS reject them. I told the team that I do not endorse the Chinese Checkmark company.
I usually get mixed responses. Like - Why does someone not want free stuff?
I refuse to obey.

I don’t know why people want to spend so much money on a tennis shoe with a check mark on it.
