The shoes were already shipped to retailers and Nike demanded they all be returned. The governor of Arizona put a stop to any financial incentives the state was prepared to give to Nike to build their new facility in Arizona because of the liberal lunacy behind the decision to pull the shoes.

Nike dead
EPS fell last qtr
2% growth over last year
Outpaced by SP & DOW
Revenues stagnate
1% dividend
Cannot compete w LuLuLemon (who focuses on more sophisticated buyers whereas Nike is more inner city)
I don't know of any analyst that views Nike as a buy right now
Company just going to slowly die till bought out or mergedComment -
This fuggin jerkoff GOP from AZ doesn't even realize that putting flags on shoes is DISRESPECTFUL.
Kap and Nike doing them a favor.
So much virtue signalling with these fugks.
Would you just die off already.
For the record, no I don't own hats, shirts, towels or any attire with the flag other then a flag.
Yes your local democratic SBR resident understands these matters.Comment -
I think that's the point, they were never officially offered for sale, thus they would be very rareComment -
That was the point I was making..
RARE AND HARD TO GET EQUATES TO - PRICE GOUGING AND PROFITS WHEN AVAILABLE AND SELLING..
Being that these shoes are political and rare now even makes them worth more in time.. You buy a 1000 pairs you'd be making bank selling them off on AMAZON and EBAY right now. All about popularity, supply and demand CHI.

Lol Nike
Losers associating a with a scumbag racist
Glad Trump and NFL buried himComment -
I bought Reebok products at the beginning of this year.Comment -
Reebok needs to bring back the Pump Omni Lites.Comment -
I wonder if it was our regular flag of today on the shoes would Kappernit still have had a shit fit?
Nothing racist about the colonial 13 State flag. It's not the Confederate flag.. It's the opposite.. It was just the beginning of America.
That was the birth and Start of America which we of all colors and races enjoy today!! Betsy Ross was an American Patriot and she DID NOT create this flag with racism in mind. Read the history before hating on it..
I understand it was during the time of slavery which WAS NOT COOL, but you might as well erase every thing in history if that's the thinking.. Memorials, mount Rushmore, etc.

The flag wasn't even the most objectionable symbol on the shoe. Kaepernick is offended by a flag he feels represents slavery, but not the logo of a company that has used child labor? These ultra-left libs are totally kooky.Comment -
His words made me feel butt hurt so, let's impeede economic progress in Zona.
Who Needs the creation of new jobs when we can make a political point?Comment -
If it offends Kap, it's for me.Comment -
1- Reebok puts a flag on their shoe. Noone saying that's disrespectful
2- it wasn't a flag, it was the Betsy Ross Union of Colonies prototype to celebrate Independence Day, not to glorify modern US politics
3- reminder to Kap, that British rule had millions of whites enslaved to the Crown, along w blacks.
Liberals still amaze me with their short sightedness and lack of perception.Comment -
Far left liberals seem to have the loudest voice and influence in the media these days. They have major influence over sports leagues, news media, social media and companies like Nike also now. That's disturbing and annoying.
Companies like Nike are so quick not to try to offend those types...
So the way I see it these far left libs with the LOUD VOICES just don't want a Country or America anymore, OPEN BOARDERS, NO FLAGS OR PATRIOTISM, NO HISTORY (statues or monuments), SOCIALISM FOR ALL.. ETC.. That all equates to having no Country in the end.
Very dangerous thinking.... Nike should be ashamed also for being such a weak major American company with no back bone.

What's ironic is Nike has a history of using child labor/sweatshops, which is probably the closest thing in the modern world to early American slavery, but the CK doesn't care about that. Lol!

LOL SBR.
Losers associating with a scumbag moderator with over 300,000 posts that generally have a scumbag racist undertone, flat out racist thoughts, rarely grammatically correct, and usually one or two third grade spelling errors.
Glad no one ever truly responds to him.Comment -

Every now & then Dwight actually makes me LOLComment -
grunching...
when i first saw nike embracing kaep i thought it was insanity business-wise........... FWIW, i support kaep in many ways. complex subject.
more i think about it, it's arguably brilliant
young people are increasingly liberal/progressive....... always the case, but i think it's exploded in the past 5-10 years.
ESPN is completely SJW.. that's how an idiot like SAS keeps his job.
nike was all about association with winners. but of course that died with lance/oscar/hope/TW/rory/etc. either not winning or disgracing themselves... so they needed a new shtick. SJW replaces "we win"
it doesn't really matter if 50 year-olds stop buying nike products. they weren't buying them that much to start with. and probably what they were buying was $50 shoes at marshalls (or similar). not some $400 shoes every couple of years....
the heart of nike's profitabilty i would think is selling wildly overpriced, hyped shoes to the under-30 crowd. with blacks wildly overrepresented.Comment -
Anyone remember these gems?

America wont survive much longer. Other races hate whites and act against them no matter how many handouts they recieveComment -
So Nike lets a guy who wore a Fidel Castro t-shirt dictate whether they release a shoe with an American flag on it.
Got it.Comment -
He's pretty much telling them to bend over and take it. F@ck what is with this clown,that everyone thinks they have to run things by his goofy ass.Comment -
