Their street price and creds just went up. More sneaker thefts coming in 3, 2, 1...

“What boycott? Nike sales are up 31 percent since the Kaepernick campaign”

Murders and robberies for Nikes will go up 31% so it will balance out.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Wouldn’t one expect sales to bounce given those who actually support this crap?

And the 31% is just for online sales

A boycott of something like athletic shoes will take awhile They are not everyday items

Then there’s KaeperPrick and his trans gf

New business model: diss 75% of America and watch sales skyrocket? Sure.

[a fool in paradise]

I thought the claim earlier was ‘online sales are up, just one segment of their total market.

[WKUHilltopper]

What part of See-Nothing But Crap (CNBC)do you believe?

[hinckley buzzard]

I saw a number of nitwits on Facebook claiming to have gone and bought new Nikes just to rub it in. Some of them undoubtedly really did. As the season wears on, and the NFL’s suicide mission progresses, I would expect a minor downward drift for Nike. I don’t expect a big drop because most people are suckers for marketing and Nike has a strong brand, built over years of aggressive advertising.

What's the methodology ?....surveying Nike stores ?...and stores that sell Nikes ?

Will they report sales are up ?...or that they're stuck with loads of clunker shoes they can't sell because nobody will patronize their shop ?

[bk1000]

They know who their customers are. What FReepers buy $300 Air Jordans, let alone wait in line for the priviledge? My once-a-year $39 pair isn’t going to worry Nike much. I’m sure the oppressed victims of white power are quite proud of Nike’s new spokesman. For my concern, Nike is the new n-word.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

We’ll see how this works out in the long term. I didn’t boycott Nike because right at this moment I’m not in the market for anything they sell.

The swine down at CNBC cheer! IN YO FACE, AMERICA!!! In yo face!

“Trust but Verify”

I’ve just realized why so many alleged conservatives WANT to believe Big Media, especially when the “news” is not DIRECTLY related to politics.

I don’t trust but verify, not since the biggest Fraud perpetrated in American history by ALL in DC.

Now, it’s Distrust and Verify.

[FlingWingFlyer]

How many more minority teenagers are going to be murdered for their Nikes?

[M Kehoe]

One month a trend does not make.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Boycott Nike customers. Give them the same treatment MAGA hat wearers get.

[FrankR]

[Sooth2222]

My main problem with Nikes has always been that they do not fit me and no matter what (frankly bizarre) marketing strategy they try, they still won't fit me.

(Stock is at an all-time high. Thanks to President Trump -- more money for people who buy Nikes to spend on Nikes!)

[ConservativeWarrior]

This is exactly the time of year that everyone buys jerseys, jackets, hoodies, and all other manner of garb to support their college and NFL teams.

On top of that, it’s back-to-school.

Let’s see how things look in a few months...

[gr8eman]

That’s their story and they’re sticking to it...”cue country music...”
