Sometimes you have to pay a little more before release because some shoes go up even more once they release.

Stealing cases and allowing backdooring are two different issues. I would imagine the early pairs that are circulating are stolen or fakes.

Because if you hit you can sell that pair and get your money back.
If you dont hit, just hope you didnt overpay but a lot of times its under what the resale would be.

That's your opinion unless you took the picture, these could have been stolen off a truck for all you know.You Do Realize These Are Being Backdoored, BY THE CASE, Right?

Son!
Let's say they were "stolen" from a truck or train, given the prices they are going for in the resale market, that's possibly a 40k to 60k come up... that's bananas!
But I'm leaning more towards a mom and pop or boutique offloading their product, which is also bananas... they want a piece of the action too
Man, this sneaker game is crazy

I dont think the markup is as much as we think it is. The stores with Nike accounts are prbly asking for twice the retail price and selling it in bulk to the resellers. Resellers are asking for an additional $3-400 or something close to that, on top of each pair. Lets say they get 40 pairs from a single store. That's 12k and then they gotta go and barter with other stores and get all their stock. I don't condone reselling but its just a Ponzi scheme to make money at this point. On that tangent, I walked into a store today and grabbed the orange air ships lol. Asked the dude at the store if they were sellin out and he's like nope, full size run. People only come in for pairs they can flip (dunks, Jordan 4s, and jjjjound asics collabs)

Not a Ponzi scheme, that's like a pyramid scheme.
It's just scalping.

And as long as you chumps keep paying resellers, this will continue to happen.

Thinking these stores are willing to backdooor shoes for maybe an extra $100 over retail and possibly loosing their Nike Account is crazy. These shoes are stolen and fakes are definitely mixed in. These replica manufacturers have the same Nike containers because they also make legit products. It’s already been confirmed.

Stores are definitely doing it though.
Most of the time it's a manager-type not the owner. They don't care if they lose the account.

Nail on the head. When you’re 18-20 years old and making $15hr. Selling 10-15 pairs early for $100-$150 a pop is tempting.

That's why I never pay resellers like those on eBay.
I'd rather that money go towards stockx or goat where they have employees who need to be paid.

or maybe all of these are fakes and are being passed as real, and nobody knows what the real looks like yet
Rich people like the same limited shoes you like… Only difference is they got way more disposable income than you

The coldest part about all of this? It’s that these shops will take your info from entering their “raffles” and sell it off to big marketing groups…

Most of the time when you're an owner, you probably step foot in the door once a week? Once a month at that? This is why you hire managers.
As an owner, the point is that you let the business run and make money, while you're out doing other things.
Most owners aren't worrying about stock/inventory like that. You pay others to deal with that.
