Nike sells shoes for more than $100, is it fair that the person that had to do the actual labor get barely enough money to eat every 2 days? It's a moral question. Is Nike saving $5 per day per worker worth that worker starving? I don't think so.

Nike is just a shoe with a fancy little swoosh.
Anyone with 1/2 a brain can produce them.
A pair of Nike's is NOT worth $100 in the country it is produced in.
It is not until they reach the marketplace that they are worth $100, because that is what people are willing to pay for them.
You are right, it is a moral question.
Unfortunately you are on the nasty immoral side.
You want to deny the worlds poorest an opportunity to increase their standard of living.
