Sneaker Tag

Whenever you buy a pair of sneakers, wether it is Nike, Jordan Reebok, Adidas, etc., there is always the tag that you look at. Why do you look at it? To check to see if it is the right size. But did you know that the same tag can tell you a lot more? It can tell you where the sneaker itself had been created. An organization known as Sweatshop Watch suggests looking for tags, and making sure you know the country in which the sneakers were produced.Why is this important? Sneakers come from all over the world, but the main places are China, Japan, and United States of America (U.S.A.). These same places also tend to have a vast amount of sweatshops. Lately though, what many companies have been doing is placing up their factory information on their websites jsut to show the people where their shoes are being created. But do you think the money greedy companies always tell the truth?
