Nike posted a 25% rise in quarterly profits, based on strong demands for high-end running shoes and over-priced, fairly ugly basketball shoes here in the U.S.

Factory workers in Indonesia and China were overjoyed at the news, some planning on spending the additional income on food and using the rest to pay for food.
