.... Don't always think that made in china = worse quality though.
When it comes to NIKE, at least, believe me, it makes a difference!
All the ones I've got 'made in Thailand/Vietnam' can't even be put together with the 'made in China' ones.... fact. Every single bit of the shoe feels different. i.e. For those who know the AF1 'insideout', I've got a pair made in China (it's actually my only Chinese pair of NIKE)... may have worn them no more than 10 times, all the side panels feel like they are coming loose at the stitching, they just feel rubbish.
