Not really sure if this is a good thing. Thing with Nike that is still remembered is the fiasco they had with child labour that resulted in Nike getting rid of manufacturing ownership. Meaning, they are just RnD, design and marketing (of course, exaggeration), and production is done by 3pp (meaning, Nike is not responsible for 3pp).
