I remember the word "quickstrike" first being used for some XX's that came out, and it came from us not having the release date months ahead of time like we used to have for shoes.
Im with you. Somewhere along the lines ppl cross them lines of "quickstrike" and "limited" probaly because majority or the quickstrikes have been limited. I see a quickstrike as a release that has no info until close to the release date like these fears. People that are saying black grapes was a qs are wrong in my eyes, they were known to drop and the date (even though the date changed, pushed back which happens a bit) they where just a limited release thats all. These Fears, especially the 5's and there a bigtime Limited quickstrike lol
I'm pretty sure the majority of the FNL restocks were from them holding back stock. I doubt JB sent them more Concord XI. They have been the red headed step child of the retailers for a LONG time. I don't see that changing unless they improve their market share in areas outside of running. Nike Basketball and Nike Sportswear shows them no love. Their JB account has gotten better but still lags behind the Footlocker base companies in allotments and availability of highly desirable launch products. It's probably due, like you said, to the contracts Footlocker has with Nike, Inc. Sorry for the soapbox response, but I actually track the sneaker retailers in the stock market and read a lot of their earnings reports. It's pretty interesting to see the business side of things from the perspective of the manufacturers and the major retailers.
hope.
Yep, pissed off a lot of people sitting on DS 06 pairs like it was apple stock.
Where from bro?
