Interesting how animals will kill themselves over the dumbest things.
It's not the product, it's the culture!
You don't see this crap happening when the new I-Phones or I-Pads come out, but that's a different culture of people.
Well, it's a good thing they're not trying! Because they are failing miserably.
michael jordan is becoming rich at the
expense of those who idolize him.He is like a crack-dealer having people
kill others to get the product.Nike is like the Columbian Cartel.
The shoes could not cost more than $20 in China.
Plenty of dysfunction to spread around. He pegs it about as well as anybody, that the shoe is a crazy status symbol in the ghetto crowd because it is both costly and is reminiscent of the endorsing athletes who actually did do something with their lives, in which the shoe wearers vicariously participate. This is a human failing, not a failing of skin hue. Other people in other cultures might flash Rolexes.
It’s easy to say that Nike should close itself down or make itself into a bargain brand. Maybe there are depths of silly abuse of luxury by those who can ill afford it, to which even conscientious capitalists should not stoop. But that is going to have to come from people’s consciences, not from a jackboot government that engineers “fairness.” Markets may be amoral, but trying to police every possible aspect of morality through government is worse.
Quanell “X” is a racist pinhead looking for a payout.
I expect Maxine Waters to demand the government give her $200 bucks for each one of her constituents to buy a pair of Airhead Mikey’s unless Barack the Kenyan decides to just issue a pair to everybody. As we all know, the Constitution guarantees everyone the right to a free pair of Air Jordans.
Horse pucky to these pastors. They should be preaching to the people in the pews not to buy the stuff...
Again, its always someone else’s fault as if they are somehow unable to accept personal responsibility.

This is just a prelude to the food riots. Some participants though.
Simple solution suggested by another FReeper: rename the shoes Air Tebow!
Better yet (no action on the part of Nike necessary): photograph David Duke wearing a pair!
Nike and Michael Jordan are not at fault for the criminal activities of these individuals.
Let’s use our brains,Pastors Dixon and Quanell.
