Nike (and Adidas) are actually moving a lot of manufacturing out of China to further cut production costs. We’re likely getting lower-quality, Vietnamese retros in the future, unfortunately.

The Vietnamese textile industry is actually getting known for quality and innovation. Arc'teryx, Patagonia, some of the new athleisure brands make their stuff there.

Who knows what type of quality we will be getting from Nike moving here (or anywhere), but I wouldn't expect a downgrade.
