Eris: Difference between revisions

'''Eris''' is a shoe manufacturing company featured in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. The company is a parody of [[wikipedia:Nike, Inc.|Nike]], as Eris is also the name of a [[wp:Eris (mythology)|Greek goddess]]. There are radio advertisements for one Eris product in GTA San Andreas, called Pump-Up shoes. Apparently, they are shoes that inflate to improve athletes performance, however are never bought by actual athletes. In GTA III, the company has radio advertisements explaining the 'benefits' of working for the company. The company employee, Joey, a child who 'sewed his hands together', may be nodded towards the sparked conflicts/strikes between Nike and people against child labor who found out Nike's soccer balls were made by children in the Middle East.  Inaccessible Eris shops can be found throughout [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] and [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], although the player can buy Eris T-shirts at any Binco Store available in San Andreas.
