Nike Shoes are a Terrible Product...

So I had a pair of Nikes and the sole fell apart after like one year. I've had my reebok's for like 2+ years and they are still a solid shoe. Then, I have had some Adidas that were exceptional quality. Wow, Nike is a fraud....and their products are made in sweat shops. :ban:
 
How often did you wear said shoes during the year in which you had them? If you wore them twice, then you have a valid claim. If you wore them all the time, then you really can't complain because everything has a certain service life. You can't expect something that you use all the time to last as long as something you hardly ever use. I have to buy shoes for work every 6 months or so because they tend to start falling apart after that long.

As much (if not less) than my Adidas and Reebok. Friggin rubbish product. :(

Is somewhere outhere.
I've had some Nike trainers in the past & they were ok.But
I prefer Addidas because of the style of them.

The Addidas Sambas last me years ;)
 
What happens with brands like Nike is that you end up just buying the name. The product is a piece of shit, but they know that consumers will keep buying the name, so they have no pressure to make quality products.

Yeah, the American way. No shortage of lemmings out there. I could buy a pair of shoes at WalMart and they would be better than some Nikes.

And they would come from the same sweat shop that the Nikes were made in... :1orglaugh

Hmmmm....I have a pair of Air Jordan's that are over 10 years old and are still in serviceable condition.

Yes that would be correct. But it wouldn't be a mark-up value of probably like 300%. ;)

Funny that you mention. I have some Jordan's as well and they are still functional, but I have never wanted to wear them; they are too cool. I was just sorely disapointed with the last go-round of Nikes. I will not support their products anymore.
 
Don't think I have ever owned a pair of Nikes or most of the other ones.Like old school converse all stars or more recently a pair of all black (even the rubber parts) re-issue PF flyers.But Nike I have other issues with lol.The bastards bought converse and moved the production from the US to china and raised prices to boot.Plus they did try to get away with using the beatles revolution in a commercial some years ago.So even if they had good sneaks I would not buy them.Probably have to stick with the PF flyers for sneakers even though they off course are china made as well.Even Levi's aren't made here anymore.All to maximize profits for the corporations,prices never drop in those deals.
 
My Nike shoes have lasted me 2+ years, I have no complaints

nike in my experience are inconsistent.
some last, some are crap.
it seems to me you must buy the more expensive nikes if you want a quality pair.
i dont buy them because they are too narrow.
i'm a new balance guy.
 
I like my Adidas way more. As a kid I always begged mom for Griffey's or Webbers that were $140 bucks and it seems like they were the worst shoes i ever owned. The current Nikes i have are ok though but I do prefer Adidas over them any day. I refuse to pay more than $75 bucks on shoes now days.

You can get real dope shoes for no more than $30 if you know where to look. TJ Max or Marshals has name brand.
 
I've been wearing Nike's for over 20 yrs now and have never had a problem with any of them. (I only buy their Hi end shoes)
 
i just but "new balance" shoes for athletics. They "fit like a glove", and hold up well. But since they come in different widths, try em on first
 
I don't think I've had a pair of Reeboks in ten years. I do normally go with Nike because I generally like the designs better. Adidas make great shoes. Asics make great shoes. Adidas Stan Smiths are the pimpest badassest shoes ever made. I like Adidas Sambas too.
