Re: Would you want to wear Nike shoes or clothes?

I remember when Nike first took their production overseas and still charged the same ridiculous prices.  Yes, they were profitable for their stockholders.  I never have owned one single item from them and never will.

I could care less about the corporate culture.  What I do care about I see price. NIke products are overpriced. I refuse to pay over $40 for sneakers.  Many of us on fixed incomes are all about price.

I have some running clothing and accessories from Nike, but no shoes. I'm not going to get rid of what I have, but I will consider all of my options if I have to replace something.

Overpriced goods from China that people buy because they want to "show off". You can find just as comfortable attire at Kohls for a fraction of the price. The Sonoma brand costs roughly half of what Nike charges,

Just by knowing that they supported Michael Vick, that would be a BIG no for me.Smiley Sad
