So Nike sells limited edition sneakers that sell for far above retail in after market sales. That's where medical device imaging is coming in. It's weird but no weirder than like, beanie babies were. If you didn't know that now you do.

You also catastrophically missed the point. Getting pissy because you see somebody wearing any particular brand is pretty ridiculous. All of them are supporting the regime in one way or another, you are, simply by existing and contributing labor to society. You can't pinpoint a fascist by their Nike's anymore than you could pinpoint one by literally any other shoe. Unless they happen to be police tactical boots (which are often made by Under Armor).

    Holy crap do I really need to use the /s behind the first comment. I thought it was so bloody obvious, that it did not need to happen. The idea to walk around town, scan people sneakers and if they are legit Nike call them fascists. To me that idea is just so insane that it is funny.

    At the same time, there are companies, which are worse and it is worth boycotting them. If you do so, then stand by that and do not buy some fakes. Seriously imagine trying to convince some guy that Nike sucks, while wearing full fake Nike gear. That is again a funny idea to me.
