Most all athletic shoe companies use the same production facilities and therefore should be subject to the same scrutiny.
Nike being the largest sporting goods company in the world is in focus but don’t be so uninformed.
On the political slant of this post. Who cares, people have different points of view and have a right to support them. Goes both ways and if there was a third political party choice in America it would go three ways.
Good to know, and one more reason not to buy Nike products for me.
Will be interesting to see if any Nike sponsored athletes will speak up against this or leave.
And for the clowns whining about child labor, do you really think any product you currently wear, shoes, shirt, socks, caps jackets made in Asia by any company doesnt have children involved? Get a clue.
Phil knight is one of the most inspirational entrepreneurs of our time. He built Nike. He indirectly influenced this site for his love of running and massive production of running shoes.
but that original ethos of Nike changed when they hired and allowed an activist ad agency to weaponize their brand, Wieden and Kennedy. In 2017 they put out an ad about Kolin kaperdick. From then until now Nike shifted to one of the most democrat leftist corporations on the planet.
complete garbage. From then until now, I stopped giving them money.
i applaud Phil for standing up for what’s right.
They were using Beatles songs back in the 80’s, it took you til 2017 to figure out their politics?
Big shoe has no politics. The only thing big shoe cares about is putting a big shoe on every foot of every man woman and child. They will not rest until the last human on earth is wearing a big shoe.
“One of the political cartoons after our legislative session had a person snorting cocaine out of a mountain of white,” Mr. Knight said. “It said, ‘Which of these is illegal in Oregon?’ And the answer was the plastic straw.” https://t.co/S7Alqka4bC
Nike is an evil company and I have stopped buying anything they make.
Between the child labor, bribery scandal in brazil, all of the dopers they employ, and the taxic culture in their running groups there is no redeeming quality in that garbage company.
The fact they have such an influence over professional sport like running shows how evil they are. Is there a single company in the NFL, NBA, EPL, or any other sport with that much power? No. That shows not only their evilness but the incompetence of usatf.
Agreed. You left out the "quarterback" Kapernick. And how they treated the female athletes that got pregnant. And NOP.

Baseballs in Japan were altered to help boost offense. (Landov) League officials have copped to juicing baseballs in order to raise offensive levels. If that
Really? Fantastic. I’m so sick of you crazy American left wing loonies trying to cancel everything and anything that you can’t control… I’ve just become a massive Nike fan. Going to go buy some unnecessary crap right now. And will buy shares in Monday. Thanks for the heads up!

Great defense of child slavery.
Maybe Knight would only be worth $1 billion instead of $40 billion if he did no use child slave labor.
That's too much to ask of him I guess.
It’s not slavery. They are paid and are free to quit to go back to subsistence farm and living in a dirt floor shack.

Steph Curry didn't leave Under Armour, although he made a snide remark about its CEO. A lesser known athlete's contact could have been terminated, but Under Armour could not afford to lose Steph.
Does anyone know if Nike produces a sewn shoe? Meaning the top and bottom sewn together instead of glued together?
Seems like the glue comes apart too quickly and then I have to throw the shoes away..... A sewn shoe would last much longer.
If anyone has any info on this then cool. Not really interested in any other shoe making business that is sewn though.
