Even with shipping and a multi-100% import tariff it would still be cheaper to make all that shit in Vietnam.

Not that the retail cost of Nike shoes is linked to the cost of production anyway. You've always been paying the premium for the logo.

The only way it can be viable in the US is if you automate everything. But even then, it's cheaper to operate an automated factory in Vietnam than it is to operate an automated factory in the US.
