Great ad!

And then the wet blanket disclaimer hits at the bottom of screen: "Where the domestic value is at least 70%, we label our shoes made in the U.S.A."

Kinda begs the question of what does "value" mean?

The glass half full on my counter says oh well, at least something of it is made here.

I'm glad that NB keeps some production here. For a product that is probably 99% off-shored it is nice to see them continue to this practice.

"1 out of every 4 pair we sell in the USA is made or assembled here"

...or 75% of what we sell to you is made overseas. Excellent? :(

It would be nice if at least half their sweatshops were in the US. Ah, but I'm a dreamer.
