Nike - Shoddy Quality
Sneakers - Complaint
Review by jobsoniii on 2012-02-20
Rating: 
BEAVERTON, OREGON -- Thanksgiving weekend I purchased 2 pairs of Nike shoes. One for my 11 year old and 1 for myself. The kids shoes have completely fallen apart. 2.5 months. Mine the soles are delaminating. This is absurd. I own a company. We produce a quality product with American workers and pay taxes in this country. I'm done with these clowns. Don't buy the garbage they foist on us as they spend billions advertising to children and fools. The proof is in what you get and what you get from Nike is the cheapest crap that they can get away with.
Nike: I have a big mouth. I will bad mouth your product till I die. When you have screwed over enough people your company will die too.

I thought Nikes were made in china or Mexico... their reputation is becoming expensive garbage...

This is a common complaint with Nike sneakers, and it's been happening for years. I had the same experience with my son's Nikes but fortunately I bought them at Kohl's. They not only exchanged them for a different brand but applied the discount I had received on the returned pair!

Now you know how Nike can afford to spend millions on advertising. They sell you an over priced inferior product to pay for it. You learned a valuable lesson, don't buy their junk product!!

I'm always in flux. I'll have a pair of Nikes that last for a long time, think gee, I'll get another pair, only to have them be garbage. So I'll switch to Adidas and have the same thing happen...one good, one bad. Arrgghhh!
The only sneakers I've had last forever consistently are New Balance. That's all I will buy for gym/running shoes. But for "casual" sneakers, their style does not appeal to me...does not with my running shoes either, to be honest, but I'm not going for style there. Amazingly, these are made right here in the USA...in my home state as it would be. Funny how that happens...
Edit: I should clarify, only 25% of NB are made in the USA, not all.

I find New Balance to have the best quality, too. They definitely last the longest. I didn't even know some of them were made here. Thanks for the link, red.

I dont get Nikes anymore......I used to LOVE them. Would only wear their brand. But like everyone else is saying they just dont last now. I trend towards Sketchers and have been very happy with them.

my son had a horrific injury due to Nike. The sole decided to come apart during a basketball game and his leg and ankle is broke in seven places, and blew out his ligaments. All due to a poorly made shoe !!!
