    serious q - for those here that buy nikes, is there a reason why you don't buy something equally expensive from companies that don't have such a torrid history with sweatshop / child labor?

    i understand for things like basketball shoes where there's a slimmer market and preferences on fit / dynamics come in to play much more... but for general everyday stuff, i never understood why people rock the swoosh still.
