nike is short for nikael.
I wore Nike running shoes one season. They broke my leg (stress fracture) before I hit 200 miles. Never had that problem with any other shoe.
This is exactly why we shouldn’t have billionaires. It’s literally impossible to spend a billion dollars on things for yourself, so what’s left but to spend it on manipulating other people.
Fuck him. I have not and never will support his brand.
What a piece of shit
After the recent election? You can kiss that fucking money goodbye. Have fun losing big.
Maybe he’s also invested in the advertising agencies that the candidates will be spending their money with.
I’m sure Russia will appreciate the income.
Of course a sweat-shop owner is a republican.
I resolved never to buy or wear Nike back in the late 90s. The companies practices are abominable but I also hated the culture of conspicuous consumption and the way people believed it gave them license to shit on others for not turning themselves into a walking ad. I grew up poor, so I know the feeling of being made to feel less-than because I got Pro Wings on instead of Jordans.
I know you said pro wings what are there any other brands you recommend? Is adidas any better? Been putting off buying new sneakers since Isreals genocide because every brand I looked at seemed to have some sort of ties.
How has that worked out, watching Nike grow and prosper despite everything shitty they do?
Here’s the thing.
Nike might continue to commit attrocious shit, but you know what?
it ain’t his fault
Is it yours? Can we partly blame you? That’s unfortunate.
I don’t think Nike much cares whose fault it is since they remain unaccountable.
I don’t care what Nike thinks. It’s your concience. Are you going to contribute to their efforts and enable them or aren’t you?
You mean like 99% of people?
Just like your downvote ratio.
Are you simping for a company?
That’s why their shoes are so expensive!
Wow fuck that guy
Bruh, I remember a few years ago (before covid) in my deep blue city public school, kids would make fun of you if your wear shoes that aren’t nikes, especially like no name brand shoes or even sketchers.
Like wtf. Its highschool, so immature…
Some kids even got “designer” shoes or whatever for $500-$1000, like… the fuck?!?
Its shoes… 🤦♂️
Ugh, kids these days.
Vans or bust
I remember in the late 80s and early 90s multiple kids were killed in the US over their shoes. Usually by people they knew.
When the designer luxury worship culture gets so bad that kids are killing each other over attaining it… something major has to change.
Solution is to raise minimum wage, increase social support, and raise the poorest up out of poverty. These killings are incredibly rare in the rest of the developed world.
But thanks mostly to conservatives we know that this hasn’t happened in the US, and kids who live in borderline poverty are still killing people for their designer sneakers. The only thing that’s changed in 30 years is the brands.
Evil really makes you look like a corroded ballsack
Why are old republicans so fucking weird looking.
While Knight is generally reluctant to give interviews, he spoke with the New York Times in October 2022 regarding his support for Republican candidates. He argued Oregon’s government had drifted too far to the left and described himself as “more conservative than Nike,” responding to criticism of him backing an anti-abortion candidate which apparently contrasted with the company’s image of supporting progressive social justice causes.[109] Nike itself donated $75,000 to Drazan and Johnson’s Democratic opponent, Tina Kotek, the eventual winner of the election. - WIKIPEDIA
Not just the old ones, many of them in the administration look super strange with even weirder views.
One looks like they fought a lawnmower at a barbershop and lost, another looks like a fanfic witch from The Matrix, several of them look like cast members from The Witch (movie), others have…odd features that make them look like WW2 villains or slightly methed out. And all of them are batshit insane.
You can’t even find people like that in a big city.
