Making Nike sneaks in Asia pays about $3 day, US price $120. New Balance pays US workers $10-12hr?
New Balance shoe price, $60. Half the price with triple the manufacturing cost. Could the Nike endorsed athletes who influence millions of US kids to buy their shoes, influence Nike to produce even 1% of the sneakers in the US. No doubt. New Balance manufactures 70% of their sneakers in the US. Could Nike do half that and stay in business, I think so. This goes for all sneaker manufacturers. Just Do It...

Do you want Nike to make less money?

I am a Nike shareholder and I disagree with your proposal.

The question is:
What if New Balance moved all their factories to Mexico and paid all their workers the minimum wage of $5.15 USD PER DAY and sell you the shoes for $30?

What do you prefer?
A $30 Shoe made in Mexico with 0 Employees in the US or a $60 Shoe made in the US with thousands of employees in the US.

Take a Poll to 100 of your neighbours and see for yourself the results.

Yes, but nothing beats Nike marketing and product development.

How do we deal with the dumb-as-dirt consumers who are more than willing to shell out $120 (or more) for a pair of sneaks! As long as they are with us, somebody will always be right there to take their money.

The shoes from Mexico wouldn't be of the same quality, so the $30 price tag would represent getting what you pat for. I agree, baying millions to stars to promote a product that is grossly overpriced because of the recklessness of their marketing is bordering on criminal. But so is the consumer mentality that floats a $120 shoe on the market.
