No excuses
So, essentially, you can't be incovenienced by the idea that people suffer so you can have the shoes you like. I wish I could say you were the only one, but your figures hold up.
It's true, some companies are worse (ADIDAS is currently ranked as the single most unethical shoe manufacturer with regards to human rights violations).
It's also true that a lot of people buy Nike products - $14 billions dollars a year. I expect they buy them because they like them and because they think they are cool. And they do seem to get plenty of repeat customers - perhaps that speaks to the quality of the design, I don't know. It could just be a "cool" thing too. I'm not a user, I can't say.
But these things are hardly excuses - you don't get a pass because you think something is cool, or because other people do it too.

2) A TON of people wear Nike shoes....
3) (I use the product)
4) (I like the product)
5) (Nike makes alot of stuff).
Oh yeah, lastly. Nike shoes are still "cool" - one of my friends buys them because he likes the look of them.
