It's worth mentioning that the actual product manufacturing price is only a fraction of the true cost. They're still grossly overpriced and not well made, but just in the sake of fairness.I recall seeing some article back when Air Jordans were first being sold in the 80s and they reported that Nike was paying less than $3.50 a pair to have them made.
My nike sb skate shoe blew out bad, while the cheaper little know skate brand shoe were still holding strong after long usage. i think they were Emerica brand? Im not sure. But i wore them for a good two or three years for work they got dirty of course but the sole remained strong and no ripping.
I forgot about new balance, those were my shoes when i did cross country in high school very comfortable top quality shoeI’ve been running on the same pair of New Balance shoes for well over a decade. They still feel great. I have put thousands of miles on them. Or maybe hundreds. Idk.
I think there was one in the 90’s where they crunched the numbers and MJ was making more annually than their entire Chinese workforce. Not sure if true though.I recall seeing some article back when Air Jordans were first being sold in the 80s and they reported that Nike was paying less than $3.50 a pair to have them made.
Yup, its sad, you can go to a nike store in the mall and check the quality you can bend the shoe and see where its likely to unravel.Nike throws a lot of money at their pro riders. I think it's safe to say they care a lot more about image and marketing than their actual product.
I misread this as you having the manufacturers of the replicas sew on the Nike tags for you.It's funny, Nike charges $250 for an Elite football jersey of theirs, which is the fully stitched, close to field worn jersey as you can get. I bought an Andrew Luck jersey from a company in China that makes exact replicas of those Nike jerseys for $110. It even had the Nike tags stitched to the jersey and the Nike paper tag attached still. You seriously couldn't tell the difference between this one and the Nike jersey.
Wouldn't shock me in the least bit if they were made in the same factory.
LOL no, the replica manufacturer had no problem copying the Nike logos and their tags and putting them on there. That's why you'd never know it was a knock offI misread this as you having the manufacturers of the replicas sew on the Nike tags for you.
i wonder if the kid could sue Nike for potentially ruining his career.
