Phil Knight is an asshole.

Nike uses slave labor.

and for a long time, Nike abandoned the running world for the basketball world.

I'm surprised Nike is making a come back.

I've jogged off and on for years.

Back in the seventies, Addidas was the popular shoe.

Along came Nike and they were popular for a while.

Then came a boatload.

I swear by Asics. Prior to Asics I tried Nike experiencing nothing but foot pain and blisters.

I bought some very expensive Addidas and disliked them immensely. The only other shoes I've toyed with are Brooks and New Balance.

Montrails are best for offroad running.

My guess is the lack of devotion is the centerpiece of runners' disgust for Nike. They abandoned their devotion to running, that runners simply don't trust them any more.

Kayanos rock.
