    If you can afford Nike, you can afford a loaf of bread. I’ve met people in developing countries who are wearing sandals worn paper thin and are pushing most of what they own around on a cart. They get only one meal a day, and still refuse to steal - instead, they do whatever they can to make an honest living, however modest it may be. Those are the ones who deserve sympathy and respect, not the hooligans barging their way into shops to help themselves.

      Where do you live where Nike is only a luxury brand and doesn’t have any common, cheap footwear? Nobody in this video is wearing a US$300 pair.
