"Nike Got Too Greedy, Quality Got Worse, 

Now People Stopped Buying Overpriced Shoes"

"Nike shoes are sitting unsold because people have stopped paying Nike prices. The shoes got more expensive, the quality slipped, and shoppers noticed. In this video buyers, sneaker sellers and a brand strategist explain what went wrong, in their own words. A $60 dry-fit shirt. Jordans that cost about $10 to make and sell for $300. Shoes with defects, soles wearing out, and the wrong pair shipped twice. At the same time Nike pulled away from the sneaker shops that made it cool, pushed everyone onto its own app, and kept releasing the same styles until the hype was gone. What this video covers: • Defects and quality decline on Jordans and Nike skate shoes • A brand strategist on why Nike lost its way • Runners switching to Hoka and On • Sneaker hype dying as prices return to normal • Nike overproducing sneakers • A shopper shocked by $60 Nike prices at Dick's • Nike keeping a tariff refund instead of cutting prices • A Nike-backed gym closing with staff unpaid.

Every clip is a real person, filmed on their own phone, in their own words. Nothing here is staged. Companies that forgot about value are finding out the hard way that customers remember. Are you still buying Nike? Tell us below."
