Thanks for bringing some sense into that debate.
Sorry, but the comparison between cowboy boots and basketball sneakers is not a good one. And if an athlete wore horse leather on kicks I could only imagine how many pounds he'd lose just by sweating out of his feet!
No doubt synthetic is cheaper, and I'm sure that's the #1 reason Nike uses it. But it's also lighter and more breathable, and often doesn't stretch as much. It's also more ethical and better for the environment. So there are benefits that go beyond dollars and cents.
