From what I heard, Under Armour was very leniant this year with shoes because the basketball shoe was so new to them.  I look for them to be more strict once they are producing the highest quality basketball shoe, like their other shoes now.

Yeah, all the Vegans must love them since I have never picked up a pair made with leather.... Or not made in China.. ****, I hate that... You want to help the economy?  Start producing your $95 running shoes in this country... same with the $30 tee shirts....

Sorry, I like UA as a sponsor and wear their non-Chinese gear, but all of the US companies, UA, Nike, Footjoy, **** me off these days.....

Dude if you want shirts and shoes manufactured in the USA, then prepare to pay $160 for a pair of low end running shoes.

UA, Nike, addidas, et all  need to pay off their pro athlete endorsements, pro team endorsements and college team endorsements.

One should be so lucky to even get Chinese shoes anymore.  At least those have consistent quality.  More and more shoes and clothing are coming out of Vietnam, other far East nations, or even closer to home like Hati and the Dominican Republic.  The quality control from these other contries is terrible, and the parent corporations could care less as long as they are raking in the cash.

Point is, these are American companies.  NB is not low end and they can manufacture here.  as one example.  I like UA material, hate the business practice.  that is all I am saying.. Nike, same way.  but I am not making this a political piece.. sorry..

UA has certain items that are STILL made in the USA.

They have to have this because of restrictions that a lot of companies have. Such as Barnes & Noble, they won't buy from a company if their product is made in certain countries.

Look for a "Compatibility" button in the toolbar if you're using IE and click it.

There's an easy solution. If it bothers you where it came from, don't buy it. And send the company a note letting them know they lost a sale.

Vote your conscience with every dollar you spend!!

Don't forget to send NB a letter, because not all their stuff is made in the USA, only a select line.

So, do you drive a vehicle that is assembled entirely (100%) of components manufactured in the USA?
