It has been under the scrutiny of various watchdog groups for selling sweat shop products made in Indonesia, Vietnam and/or the Philippines. The haze surrounding its overseas operation is as thick as it gets with Nike providing no REAL answers other than at one point they had to settle with one fo the countries by bringing their pay up to minimum wage.

    I know for a fact they quit making some of their running shoes in the US back in the 90s because I always wore Mike Air Max. When they moved the operation to SE Asia, they changed the last of the shoe (the form for the sole) making it slimmer and rendering Nike running shoes useless to me.

    I will do not and will not use Nike products nor wear any of its propaganda. If I did, I'd throw it all away for this crap with Kaepernick. He's a POS. So's Nike as far as I'm concerned.
    I never liked Nike running shoes, football shoes, or cross trainers to begin with. I started wearing
    New Balance in the early 80's and never looked back.

    In fact, after some careful testing and evaluation by Physical Therapists and Athletic Orthopedic Doctors,
    The Coast Guard started issuing New Balance Cross-trainers to initial entry members - recruits cadets,
    and officer candidates.

    With this Kaepernick deal, I will never buy shirts, sweats or shorts made by Nike. (I do not have any
    to begin with. This just seals that for me.)
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    I wear New Balance now. I like Brooks as well with the one caveat that their soles do not last long at all. I've worn out enough of them to know it isn't a fluke. For $120 - 180, I expect more than 4-6 months. Not like I run marathons in them.

    The New Balance running shoes last, are Made in the US, and Most importantly, I can walk in them. It was touch and go on that score when I first got out of the hospital. I do not like NB cross trainers. At all. Not in any guise over the years. They're like an after thought to a company that makes its money on other styles.

    But, take note. NIKE will never honestly mention how many of those NIKE's were stolen, but counted as profit by the retailers to cover Insurance Loss?

    Everyone's aware there are sell-outs in this country. It's why there's even a controversy to begin with.

    Flash in the pan purchases based on emotional, knee jerk reactions won't cover the loss of long-term, brand-loyal customers. Your foaming at the mouth $200 one-time purchase now won't cover losing 2 new pair of sneaks, minimum, twice a year for YEARS.

    One, I didn't start the thread. Please address THAT concern to the person who did so can own whatever piece of your ass might be left.


    Two, I doubt Nike will tank. I doubt the NFL will tank. Both are irrelevant to MY right to refuse to do business with whoever I deem unworthy of such. You're all about that unamerican POS, Colin Cancer, but no one else's Right to same exact freedom you wish to bestow upon him above all others. I don't support unamerican, unpatriotic people nor their organizations with as much as one thin dime. That of course is MY personal choice and Right, so ...

    piss off, huh?

    Just imitating what you try to do to nearly every thread here. You can't even honestly answer it without your typical, low-life, jabs to make yourself feel superior, and happy...Can ya?

    I don't have any "issue" combat boots. I have a pair of Red Wing 8" boots that are the equivalent. Those "issue" boots went a long way in destroying my ankles. I HATED those left over, Vietnam-issue boots with a passion.

    Those look like Corcorans. We weren't allowed to wear those. Until the mid-90s in the Marines, you could wear ONLY Marine Corps issue boots. Soon as they changed THAT dumbass rule I was sporting a pair of Danners .
