[VelourSocks]

I’ll believe it when I see it
but fukk resellers so any time they have a hard time I laugh

An easy and low tech solution is to only allow one pair per address.

theres a list of things they can do to stop it
the real reason is they just don’t care because the sale is a sale either way
plus other companies like shytbay and stockx probably tell them to not go so hard

 

[MustafaSTL]

They JUST NOW decided to do this?

I only buy shoes on sale so

I used to have this mentality
the problem is they started going beyond sneakers and went for every coveted item
eventually you’ll cross paths with these losers and it’s annoying as fukk
hopefully this sets a standard for other companies

About fukking time

For real, though. I've basically given up on getting anything off of Nike that might be even remotely limited or special edition.

Some bicht ass resellers still gonna complain about this

To truly make this right and fck over the resellers they need to rerelease some of their greatest works. Fair n Square this time.

Not because they care about you, the customer, but because it’s starting hurt to interest in their brand.



Even the Fire Red 3s sat. They should’ve addressed this years ago. Too little too late.

Nike ‘aggressively’ clearing inventory ahead of holidays

Some out-of-season apparel arrived late, while holiday apparel arrived early, leading inventories to rise 44% year over year.

• Nike warned of gross margin trouble ahead as North America inventory grew 65% in the first quarter, leading the retailer to take “decisive action,” Chief Financial Officer Matt Friend said on a call with analysts. Nike revenue still grew 4% to $12.7 billion.
• The company’s gross margin declined 220 basis points to 44.3% thanks to elevated freight costs and higher markdowns to clear out inventory, which itself was up 44% total over last year.

Good, but most people I know gave up the sneaker game like a year or 2 ago.

Something had to happen. No way they waited this long to do this.
