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?
Are you simping for a company?
