Why? Why support the party that's causing the very product you have made in China to become unaffordable to the people who wear them?

  1. There’s another company I’ll never do business with again. Add it to the list 

  2. I sure do appreciate these companies identifying themselves for me so I know who not to buy from ever again. Makes my job of trying to boycott these companies a whole lot easier when they proudly stand up and wave the MAGA flag to identify themselves.

  3. He’s worth billions, and the tariffs help fund a HUGE tax cut for him. That impacts his personal fortune way more than a small decline in shoe sales. He knows some people will buy Nikes even if they have to skip paying a bill.

    He’s funding republicans as an investment in his long term wealth… $3M now in exchange for hundreds of millions in savings later.

  5. Welp. There shit is so expensive I get another reason not to buy

  6. I’d bet anyone making huge donations right now to Republicans is in the files.

  7. It’s just like the Campbell’s soup VP. They know they make shoes for poor people and don’t care about them.

  11. Guess I’m never buying Nikes again. I haven’t since I was like 15, but still.

  13. Never bought one: Never will. I’m ahead of the curve on this one at least.

  14. Time to go shop for shoes and avoid this ghouls’ brand at all costs.

  20. He looks well and healthy. Great advert for the brand.

  21. Well fuck him. I’ve only worn Nike and ADIDAS for work but never again Nike

  22. Boycott Nike. We need a list of all companies who support the Republican Party.

  23. So not surprising. From experience, the whole company is a boys club. Also he hates dogs which should be your ultimate red flag!

  25. I guess it’s now Nike: Just *don’t* do it.

    Shame. 😑

  28. They just had a article on how they were losing business to all the other shoe companies. Lol

  29. Kap caused Maga to avoid Nike, Knight now causing everyone else to avoid them, interesting turn of events

  30. >Why support the party that’s causing the very product you have made in China to become unaffordable to the people who wear them?

    Because he wants that sweet upper upper upper upper upper upper class tax cut.

    I have been on the fence about Nikes cuz I don’t think they’re quality is very good, but now I’m firmly in the fuck no camp.

  31. Never a big Nike guy, so I’ll just continue not buying Nike.

  32. In fairness Oregon has had some crazy leftwingers as their govenor and mayors. I’m a pretty strong Democrat and i hate the policies that Oregon’s last couple of govenors have been pushing.

  33. wtf

    I stopped buying NB

    Now I’ll have to do Nike???

  37. He was crying that tariffs is hurting his business. Truff shit you not only voted for it you paid money to make it happen.

  38. F Nike Stupid soles for stupid souls . I will not support insurrectionists nor dictators.

  41. Looks like only counterfeit Nikes for me now. What’s up, China.

  42. No more Nike…ppl should really be careful where they spend… capitalism is the problem really… that and a corrupt far right republican.. but capitalism doesn’t work regardless it implies that money trickles down and it just does not

  44. I’m so fucking tired of these billionaires being allowed to buy our government.
