Nike

Nike, as previously stated, has a large number of manufacturing sites situated outside the United States. According to reports, China produces one pair out of every five! Over 210,000 people are employed in the sporting apparel business as a result of contracts with 180 manufacturers located throughout the country. As a result, only Vietnam outperforms the United States in terms of Nike production. Additionally, the firm outsources manufacturing to Brazil, Japan, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. Conversely, Nike has been striving to decrease its dependency on Chinese labor. While one in every three pairs was made in 2012, that figure has since fallen to one in every five. Conversely, Nike has never explained why this is the case.

Levi’s

If you’re looking for denim clothing to stock up on, go no further than Levi’s Jeans. The firm has annual net sales of $5.76 billion. In the 1960s, as the consumer base shifted away from blue-collar workers and toward other sectors, the company’s products became fashionable. In the early 1970s, the corporation went public. Since then, it has expanded to operate in more than 50 countries worldwide. Each and every item on this site was designed and manufactured outside of the United States. On the other hand, the 501 Jeans are still manufactured in a North Carolina plant.
