I haven’t bought a single Nike product in years. And my kids know better than to even ask.

They’ve repeatedly shown who they are and what they represent.

I only buy ON shoes, lite, airy, good quality

I hope you’re not buying them to actually run in. Only thing “good” about ON brand is the looks of some of their shoes.

Overall, it’s a pretty shitty shoe for running.

Never been a Nike fan, but I recently started buying the Nike Pegasus. It’s the only model that fits me well out of all the Nikes. May have to reconsider that decision.

If they're made in the US those are really good prices assuming the product isn't total junk, but their website doesn't claim that.

Maybe people just assumed it because of the name?

support Freedom Industries -- they are all American made, and make a fantastic tennis shoe


AI overview from Google

Freedom Industries shoes are made in China. This information was found on the product label of a pair of Freedom Industries shoes purchased from OpticsPlanet, according to a customer post. While Freedom Industries claims that some of its apparel is made in the USA, a Facebook post states, this does not apply to their footwear.

Nike is an "American" company that prospers on the backs of child labor in third world countries. Understanding that will help you understand Nike and the positions that they support.

Yep.

Also remember that giving money to Nike is giving money to Oregon athletics.

In the NIL world that actually means something.

Nike consumer products are largely inferior and not a good value. This was particularly the case with their golf products - shoes, clubs, golf balls.

I stopped buying all Nike products about 20 years ago because of poor durability. Haven’t missed them at all ..

Deep down nobody gives af about them. This is why virtue signaling is so dumb and should be called out immediately and cut off when it happens.

I've always worn Converse tennis shoes anyway. No skin off my back regarding Nike.

I quit buying Nike when they had a trans model their sports bra. Female athletes need certain things from a sports bra and the very basic is the need for supporting the weight of breasts. Having a male model one is just insulting.

Don’t know. Ask someone at UF.

What’s that got to do with me buying Nike?
