In Feb. 2012 my boyfriend and I each purchased a pair of Nike Shox. After wearing the shoes for about two weeks we started to notice an extremely foul odor similar to the way cat urine smells. We do not own a cat and wondered why our new shoes smelled embarrassingly horrible, to the point that we do not want to wear them at all.
We feel we wasted over $100 on each pair of shoes, only to have worn them for two weeks and have to retire them because for some reason they have a terrible odor. I feel Nike knows their shoes contain some type of chemical that gives off this odor after being worn, but does nothing to control it because they are too interested in getting as much money as possible for shoes the consumer can barely handle wearing after Day 1.
I would like either a new pair similar to the shoes we purchased (that do not smell) and for Nike to reconsider how their shoes are made and how many complaints they have received on this issue, because I am sure my boyfriend and I are not the first to bring this issue to light.
