Is this a coincidence?

I think it's the economy and like others have said, now it's all about the green and golf.

For the most part, theyre exactly the same.

People always complain about quality - the shoes always perform excellently on the basketball court. Thats most important to me.

I think anytime a company develops a reputation they can sit back on, they do just that. Mercedes-Benz is afflicted with the same issues right now, MB productsin the mid-90s were stellar, their reputation was untouchable and people bought them left and right. Any Benz built from 2000 on is a shell of those oldercars, of course the economic tie-in isn't hard to see either. I think the main issue is just that a corporation's first responsibility is to theirshareholders, who couldn't care less about the quality of the product, as long as their wallets are getting fatter.

as long as we keep buying cheap stuff at high prices they will continue to sell them to us
