I'm big on brands, I've always wore nike and scoffed at the idea of wearing anything else from high school through last summer. After they endorsed kaep and bent over for blm, I been rockin new balance. I seen however that they to love to suck the blm peen. Are there any non-woke shoe/apparel companies I can support? If not what is the least woke one?

British Knights......I'd say companies from the 90s that arent around would be the only ones that aren't woke.

I'd guess Under Armor, but they've been pretty woke lately too.

Also, they gave foot injuries to half of Auburn's pitching staff.

No idea but I use hoka shoes now. Don't know or care what their political leanings are because they aren't some behemoth like Nike

I really wish somebody at Carhartt would recognize the $$$ they could make from introducing a line similar to Patagonia/REI type offerings. Surely those companies have some conservative/non-political product mangers that would jump at the chance to leave wokeville.

Here are some links to local and regional chains that have a decent online presence. They are Main Street in their region. They support their local communities, pride themselves on excellent customer service, and are price competitive with Amazon.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This started as a list of alternatives to Amazon. The companies aren't necessarily anti-woke

If someone wants to start a new thread for non-woke companies using parts of this list as a starting point, be my guest

Just worry about companies that support American workers first and ignore the rest.

There are tons of small manufacturing startups across the country that people like you will scoff at - too expensive, too hipster, too "woke", etc. You'll always find a reason to not shop local when deep down you really just want something cheap and comfortable like everyone else.

So to your point, if you're looking for athletic shoes, I would suggest Diadora, the Danieli family sold to Geox, which is owned by a self-made Italian billionaire who doesn't appear to be involved in American politics, plus he made his fortune after Nike passed on his technology.

ASICS America is less outwardly involved than Nike but reflects the broader corporate trend of chiming in on social issues. I imagine their Japanese division doesn't do that.
