Did Nike VP Ann Hebert’s son get caught re-selling sneakers?

  1. I found this article that states that Nike VP Ann Hebert’s son was reported for abusing discount codes and re-selling sneakers. I am going to find out if this really happened.

 

2. I went to see if the website “Input” was a reliable source. It had much fame from others, and it was a known Magazine amongst people.  The “Input Magazine” was a fairly trusted magazine, but i have to do more research.

3. I searched Wikipedia and found that the “Input Magazine” was a known website who had published 52 weekly additions since 1984. It was published in the UK, and is a trusted source. That means no need to check Snopes.com because I already have all the proof I need.

     

 

 

4.  The magazine turns out to be a trusted source but is the article real or fake? I used a different source to see if they have the same story posted about Nike VP’s son re-selling sneakers. CBS news also had a story about this which told me that this website and story is legit because I found CBS on Wikipedia giving me a lot of information about this story.

 

                < In this photo it shows a picture of a lot of shoe boxes that this teen had managed to get and sell for profit. In the other photo it shows how reliable CBS news is.

 

5.  In conclusion, the story was real and was posted by trusted news sources.

 

 

 

Recyclable Sneakers

A passion of mine is sneakers. In the following article that i read, i learned about how a Adidas is try make recyclable sneakers for commercial use which will be 100% biodegradable. All materials will be very stylish and will resemble running shoes. Even thought these shoes may be a little bit pricey, all materials will be recycled from the sneaker once worn out. This is a very good idea considering the fact that throwing away your shoes after wear is very bad for the environment and can be very harmful to animals and the Eco system. Adidas is still designing these models and they are set to release in the next 1-2 years, for about 160$. Adidas strives to make a good impression on the free market by using big words like, Eco-friendly, recyclable and was eliminating. There has even been rumors that Adidas is planning to make almost all of their shoes out of recyclable material in the next 2-4 years. This will take a lot of work to find materials that are non waste and that also give the consumer the same feel when sliding their foot in a pair of these amazing shoes. In my opinion, this is a pair i would buy personally just because i would really like to make a change in the world even if its small.
