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 Nike, as the company name is taken from a Greek goddess, however Eris represents strife whereas Nike represents victory. 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.In addition One of the founders and board members of Eris is Pete Vassal, who was involved in 2008 in a steroid scandal.
