NB, along with Converse, are the last two major shoe companies still making shoes in the USA in significant quantities. Although they also produce abroad.

they are independent. As in I own a company and you buy my company. So I'm within your authority but I still get to do my own thing. I doubtNike is dumb enough to put any say into how Converse runs their business (they've been around almost twice as long).Originally Posted by nick0lis

wouldn't buying from converse be like buying from nike though? wouldn't that just be giving nike more money to build sweat shops? i may be wrong, but it seems like your logic is flawed.

That's not me.. i'm just saying, there's plenty of reasons to not support them, if you were so inclined.
basically....
I know what you guys are saying is true, but the funny thing about people who say we shouldn't support Nike are wearing Reeboks, Old Navy Jeans, and a Gap T shirt....then they go home and take food out of their fridge, put it in their microwave, and watch TV. All appliances that are made in overseas sweatshops.....
