They're not saying the incremental cost of making a single shoe is $25. They're saying that, after everything is accounted for, it costs Nike approx $25 to get a $100 retail shoe onto a boat in China.
And yes, Nike has cheaper shoes too, but per article, if it's retailing for $50, it probably costs $12 tops to make.
