Sadly Chinese produce more high quality products then USA these days, given they can be hired for like $1 an hour, iPhone; jordan basketball sneakers, ect ect. Plenty of higher quality items that come out of China that US market eats up like hot cakes, and yes the Chinese made jordans are decent quality over any USA brand, I would probably only put italy's gucci/versace ahead of jordan in terms of quality sneakers.
Half the shit made outside China will be using chinese imported parts anyway, and about the only thing Americans are pumping out is more streamlined machine driven assembly lines, which are second most in-expensive option, only to paying chinese $1 an hour; last thing they want to do is employ an American at 12-15$ an hour and loose all that profit margin.
