You know who to boycott. It's not like they're affordable with the tariffs anyway.

Dude already has his billions.

So...professional athletes who take Nike money support fascism?

[-] ChetManly@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

What a fucking ghoul

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 62 points 5 days ago

He financed a spoiler candidate for OR governor last election. That spoiler candidate was too obviously right wing to siphon enough votes, despite what she was being paid to say.

Phil knight is strongly opposed to democracy.

[-] ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 21 points 4 days ago

He’s on the list.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Buying your politician is all out in the open now.

[-] DaMummy@lemmy.world 43 points 5 days ago

What's he trying to get a pardon for?

[-] 33550336@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Even don't like nike, Adidas is much better.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 days ago

Nike shoes never fit my feet properly anyway lol, my feet are just too wide.

[-] notsure@fedia.io 9 points 4 days ago

...everybody look! a rich asshole is helping other rich assholes!..look!..it's news!..not the fucking pedophile president....

[-] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Heh. Fuck Nike.

Overpriced fashion accessories for impressionable people with disposable income.

I never have nor will I ever purchase a pair of Nike shoes.

We truly do have the best government money can buy.

[-] BanMe@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Growing up poor in the 80s/90s Nike was a hated symbol, there was no chance I'd get anything beyond walmart brands, if new was even an option. So I learned to hate these symbols, but Nike chief among them. Today it's funny but I can't bring myself to buy it even tho it's a much cheaper brand.

[-] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

I can relate. I grew up in the Mississippi Delta so poverty was certainly not a lifestyle choice.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I actually liked Nike, until I heard of sweatshops, and now this.

Could anyone recommend an ethical alternative that is also high quality?

Looks exactly like I’d expect.

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 29 points 5 days ago

If I'm reading this right, the record he's breaking is his own.

[-] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

How unsurprising this oligarch. Always betting on the fucking elephant.

Never had a swishy because they were then expensive 33 years ago as they are now.

[-] naught101@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

I've been boycotting them my whole life already

[-] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

boycotting them my whole life already

My boycott cant get any harder

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 19 points 5 days ago

SO glad I don’t have any Nikes. Up yours, Phil.

[-] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 days ago

I wanted to buy Nikes recently. But all their designs were ugly, so I ended up with adidas. Not sure if owner is better than nike or not, but at least I didn’t get Nikes.

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Whatever you do, don't Google "Adidas history" then

[-] GaryGhost@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

This guy is the anti Christ, just look at him

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

There’s stiff competition for that role I mean trump, Thiel and Stephen miller are all higher on the list. He’s one of their officers in the demon army for sure though

[-] cheeseburger@piefed.ca 15 points 5 days ago

Drop dead, ghoul.

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Fuck him and his shitty shoes that give me blisters

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

These evil men really all look like demons

[-] not_me@piefed.social 13 points 5 days ago
[-] Draegur@lemmy.zip 15 points 5 days ago

I wish someone would step up and take care of this problem.

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

An Italian friend perchance?

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 6 points 5 days ago

It's-a Regular Giuseppe!

[-] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 13 points 5 days ago

Add that to Tesla, Facebook, Oracle……

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Looks like a corroded old ballsack.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 4 points 4 days ago

Never liked Shooter McGavin

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

He looks like a cancerous testicle.

[-] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 days ago

Anyone know of comfortable sneaker alternatives that are reasonably priced, available globally, and aren't hideously ugly?

I've been wearing Jordans for most of my life. They're cheap, they look good (I like them) and they're comfy. But the quality has been going down the last 5 years or so and the writing had been on the wall.

I guess now is as good a time as any to make a change but every time I've looked for alternatives I've been frustrated that nobody makes shoes I actually like.

[-] Lamplighter@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I'm quite partial to asics

[-] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

Thanks for the recommendation. I took a look but didn't see anything I liked. To me, they give off a middle aged divorced dad look that I'm not quite old enough or divorced enough to pull off

Depends on... well, a lot of factors. I'd start by looking at "walking shoes" and "trail runners", they tend to be lightweight and comfortable without fully giving up on durability. Appearance is a matter of taste.

Maybe he could give that money to the state so they don't have to raise the gas tax

[-] 33550336@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I thought this is an AI generated remake of musk's photo :)

[-] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Been on a bike boycott since their last racist stunt over a decade ago.
