More information on this campaign and the “Play Fair at Olympics Campaign report itself can be found at www.fairolympics.org The report includes information on Puma Fila, Umbro, Asics, Mizuno, Lotto, Kappa, and New Balance. They have been labeled “B” brands because, in terms of their market share, they form a second rung of manufacturers in the sportswear industries, just below the market leaders or the so-called “A” brands: Nike, Reebok and Adidas. The report purposefully provides descriptions of cases of labour rights violations dating back to the middle of the nineties, so that campaigners and others have a full record of the performance and responses of the target companies to date. Also for the sake of completeness, data gathered and published in the Play Fair at the Olympics campaign report are copied in for each of the companies concerned, coupled with the build-in weblinks this provides an easy search of this web-based document. Obviously, no company profile is ever complete.

How about a used pair of the Air Yeezy 2s for $4,600? (“Air Yeezy 2 Solar Red”). I hope you’re a size 13. As absurd as that price tag sounds, these are not just a pair of expensive shoes. That’s because the Air Yeezy 2 is rapper Kanye West’s second collaboration with the sneaker brand Nike and is a perfect example of how popular the collaborations between hip-hop figures and shoe compa- nies are. Although it was once unusual for hip-hop artists to negotiate a deal to brand and design sneakers, such joint efforts have resulted in some of the most coveted and highly-priced shoes in the world.
