I think the media/advertising has done a solid job in embedding guilt by association with regards to sweatshop labor.

I don't think we should be avoiding these companies at all.

i thought sufu was a politics free zone, or was that just super trash? in any case god bless Nike, the only company where an employee can make anywhere from $0.35 a day making shoes to $90 million over several years endorsing them. I'm going to buy more of their stock RIGHT NOW!

Just imagine the smiles on the little kids faces as they imagine you waiting in line in the rain for your super limited pastel patent leather hot fire SBs. That joy is their payment, money means nothing to them

[Gabriel]

did anyone mention Veja?

[cto]

in all seriousness, the only mega shoe brand that is truly sweatshop free is Reebok. They were before it was an issue and a political topic. It's actually more expensive for Reebok to make a comparable shoe to Nike.

This thread makes me understand why minya(or the even higher ups) don't allow political/religious discussion.
