Famous director Spike Lee was at the
White House recently and tweeted the he gave
Barack Obama a new pair of Air Jordans.
(Hat tip to Ball Don’t Lie.)
Lest you forget, Spike Lee is a Nike endorser
(and the guy who made many of
the best Michael Jordan commercials).
These are the new, $175 “Bordeaux” style
that will come out next month.
Since the early 1970s Nike produced goods
in South Korea and Taiwan. As their economies
developed, workers became more productive, wages rose,
and many workers moved on to higher paying jobs.
Labor unions also gained more influence.
Nike found cheaper labor offered in Indonesia,
China, and Vietnam, which prohibited labor unions.
Does Obama care where these Air Jordan's are made?
