This: "It’s as remarkable as it is fascinating." No matter how many times Nike has shot itself in both feet they always seem to bounce back without missing much of a beat. I wonder if it's their shear size/scale/marketing power combined with a mix of consumers' performative outrage/amnesia/moving on to the next thing to be mad about.
I think the Vaporfly helped paper over the cracks. A lot of people's performative outrage would quell at the lofty promise of finally getting a BQ. Everyone has a price! Luckily for me, that's all so out of reach that I can simply carry on being a loudmouth haha.
Summed up all my thoughts perfectly! I still won't wear Nikes though.
I haven't bought a pair of Nikes in 5yrs. Habit broken.
Same. Just can’t do it.
Ditto, ditto, and...ditto.
