Their space trash shoes were not just ugly but also uncomfortable. The prices were often higher than $100. The only decent “sustainable” shoe is the Billie Ellish AF1. The sustainability initiative was never genuine; it was just an excuse for their tech stagnation
I think the political moves they made in 2020 has lead to a significant disinterest by the purchasers of their product. Their choices were largely based on the media making fringe topics seem popular or mainstream. Many apparel companies had a more accurate knowledge of their consumer’s preferences and as a result Nike took a hit. I have stopped wearing them not because I disagree with their politics, but because in my field it is best to present one’s self as apolitical even in your off time and you can no longer do that in a pair of Nikes. I’ve switched to Adidas for running and cycling just because they build good quality equipment and don’t have a problematic social movement associated with them.
