The document summarizes the international supply chains of items purchased by the author in a week, including a t-shirt assembled in Italy with a design from the US and fabric from India, an iPhone assembled in China with a US design and materials from China and Mongolia, Jordan sneakers assembled in China with a US design and fabric from India, and bedding assembled in India with a design from India and fabric from Indonesia. The author notes they learned that most US products have global supply chains and countries of origin labels don't always reflect where items are conceptualized and made. They were most surprised the famous Jordan sneakers originated from Indian cotton and leather industries.

I have learned one important thing that the supply chain from the common goods could be international and that most things produced in the U.S. can have supply chains all across the world. It is important to note that though items may be labeled “made in the U.S.” it does not necessarily mean that it is conceptualized, and made entirely in the U.S. Manufactured goods pass through several processes before becoming the final product we enjoy. 2. I was surprised most by the Jordan sneakers. They are most famous in the U.S. since the U.S. is the biggest consumer of Nike shoes. It is most surprising that the sneakers begin their journey to the U.S. consumers from the Indian cotton farms and leather industries.
