Interesting comparison. Are there any laws preventing sneaker companies from selling directly to the consumer in Texas? Do shoe dealers have their own special little protectionist laws?

Or could Nike open their own corporate owned and operated store to sell Nike brand merchandise, if they were so inclined?

It would appear that Nike has plenty of stores in Texas. Indeed they can operate in this manner as they are inclined.
