No. They think they’re big enough to withstand the few loss of sales over this.....sadly, they’re right.

Adios, Nike.
I hope your swoosh goes limp, just like Dick’s sales did when they sided against gun owners.

I wore NB for years. Recently I tried Skechers and like them a lot. Screw Nike.

I think I see the need for an SEC investigation into this. Especially if these institutional investors are willing to accept losses that will screw small investors silly.

FWIW, I think I’m on to something. Check out the stock ownership of DKS, for example....

Does Academy Sports still sell New Balance?

We have a new Balance store here in Tulsa. Their staff is super for getting the right fit for these American Made sneakers.

I switched over to made in the united States New Balance over 40 years ago.

So Colin Kaepernick's affiliation with this company that exploits underpaid foreign workers just reinforces my original decision.

Stand for the Flag and Anthem!!

I’m thinking the elite making this decision are so delusional that they think they will improve sales by doing this. For those who agree with them, it’ll be a real good stock-buying opportunity.

Nike is a shoe making whore. China is to expensive for manufacture and Nike is moving their operation to Vietnam.

To see how Asia’s manufacturing map is being redrawn, look at Nike and Adidas
Marc BainMay 10, 2018

Since 2010, Adidas has cut the share of footwear it makes in China in half. The country that has absorbed most of that business is Vietnam.

A similar situation is playing out at Nike. A decade ago, China was its main footwear producer. Today, Vietnam owns that title.
