Simple explanation to your question: People prefer $29 imported gym shoes over $129 US made gym shoes. Patriotism stops at the pocket book! Nike makes all their gym shoes in cheap labor countries.
I will say the US mfg New Balance are great on your feet and very durable. I’ve bought some on Amazon for under 80 bucks if you get the sales.
That example doesn't hold water. New Balance is still made in the USA. Take your lies elsewhere TRAITOR. Go back to India you old loser.
