barefoot, unless you've committed crimes, then it's time to take your feet off.

Adidas is refusing to drop Kanye after the last week or so of him being aggressively Kanye.

I'm less sure about Nike, but I'm under the vague impression they use child labor. Maybe I made that up.

Really? THIS is what people want to boycott these companies over? Not the literal slave labor being used to make their products?

They all do, man. Your Nike and Adidas are probably made in the same factory in Bangladesh or China for the same overhead as the clothes Walmart sell. It's literally inescapable unless you buy from local producers.

We know Nestle for a fact uses slave labour, ffs.

I'm saying it should have happened decades ago. The same people saying they won't buy these shoes because of fucking Kanye shouldn't have been buying them in the first place. Literal slave labor is a lot worse than being upset over one crazy person's rants.

This is a very valid point; but as the saying goes, better late than never.

So Nike doesnt intentionally use slave labor, theyve recently changed a lot of their material sourcing, and where product is developed to be as certain as possible they dont.

BUTTTTTT

Nike factorys are contracted out and inspectors cant be everywhere at once, and Nike cant 100% verify where their materials come from.

So Nikes stance is we dont knowingly use slave labor and its not like we turn a blind eye to it, so if it turns out we have, they lied to us too.

I haven't bought a new pair of shoes, outside of ones I wear for work, in.....14 years. They're still in good shape. It needs some superglue here and there to keep parts in place.
