Whoa, let me say that Jonah Peretti and Nike both have some nerve. First of all, I've always worn Nike's and found them comfortable, but after reading this article I will think hard before buying another pair of Nike's. I think when Jonah actually changed his request is should have stated "Thank you Vietnamese people for making my shoes and going through verbal and physical abuse for me to recieve them" Get a grip Nike, treat your employees better.
I applaud your willingness to "give up" Nike, but I have some bad news. MOST major companies exploit their workers (at least we in America would see it as exploitation). Here is a website to check out:

I know most everything we buy is made in China or somewhere overseas where workers are paid next to nothing and physically and mentally abused. That is where I believe America needs to pick up the pace and star manufacturing the items we buy.
