Grass,

I really believe Nike is feeling some ethical pressure from this Oakley move. Knight has stated how impossible it is to make shoes here in the US. After all the exploitation, he is now trying to help all of his third world slaves. This shoe will be politically biased for a while yet. Nike is trying to play catch up to the image problem.

Article on the Motley Fool today about Nike Vs. Oakley. I found it opinionated and disrespectful. E-mail Louis Corrigan and let him know what you and everyone else thinks. Here's the link to the article.
