New Balance American Made And Loving It — If you seek footwear and a conscience clean of exploiting underpaid, underage, mistreated workers, we’d like to point out that New Balance has a strong US manufacturing presence and that we have found their comfort and quality to be far superior to Nike.
Yes, Nike is an oppressor. No, we aren’t cherry picking. You really should be ashamed if you buy their products.
We take warmth in knowing, though, that Nike will always remember murderer Gary Gilmore’s last words as it sports towards its hipster-fueled corporate demise.
Haven’t purchased Nike sneakers since the 1990s when I learned about their sweat shops.
I have been wearing New Balance sneakers exclusively for almost a decade. They are an exceptional product with the high quality I expect and deserve as a consumer.
As part of my annual fall clothes shopping I purchased two new pairs of New Balance sneakers again about two weeks ago.
We vote with our wallets. Be an informed and educated consumer.
