They went from 3k followers to 24k+. They've been on major sneaker blogs and will probably continue to pop up since they do this every Monday people will keep coming back and purchasing from them. When people are in Philly or those who live in Philly will now recognize them and visit them off of this. It adds brand recognition. Eventually they could take this attention and open a shop elsewhere and people will remember them from this promotion.
Brand power, identity, and recognition is more important than sitting on a few thousand dollars of shoes for a year or two.
Who else has restocked three Jordan 11 mids in full family sizing with plenty of stock all at the same time? That alone is major. They did this last with the black and red 11 lows and it wasn't that by a deal since they just came out. They made all the money they would have selling at the official release date but also gained national publicity from it.

sure. anybody can post and get "free advertising"....but that has to convert to sales and publicity. or else it defeats the purpose. anybody can announce restocks for lame releases that didnt sell well. but nobody would buy. city blue did this with a restock of some heat. would they have been buzzing so hard these past few days if they restocked bordeauxs, or the 3peats or some other release that nobody wanted?
nah they wouldnt. but they held back some heat. and got it ALL sold. and FAST too. so there goes the argument of them losing out on money because they didnt sell everything on release day. and on TOP of that, they got positive buzz right now.
win win for them.
business school or not anyone can see that.
i guessing you struck out?

and to add to that, most people don't realize how stores inventory work. they have to BUY the shoes before receiving them. they don't wait to sell them and Nike gets a portion.
so those shoes were theirs and like you said, held on to them for promotional reasons

"Nike made a lot of pairs of the "72-10" Air Jordan 11. No seriously, a lot.
Sneaker retailers sold over 1 million pairs, and that's not even accounting for all those sold directly via Nike. In the brand's Q3 2016 earnings call yesterday, Nike brand president Trevor Edwards gave another hint at how huge the shoe's release was.
"The '72-10' colorway of the Air Jordan 11 was the largest launch ever in the history of NIKE.com, breaking sales and traffic records," Edwards said. "With this launch, we doubled NIKE.com’s previous largest launch ever."
With these figures, it's quite possible that there are more pairs of this shoe out there than any other Air Jordan before." http://*************.com/news/2016/03/air-jordan-11-72-10-biggest-nike-release-ever

I wanted to get a second pair at retail but might not happen sadly. What an amazing shoe, might have to pay a few extra sacagaweas to get that second pair.

more reason to customize the extra pairs. angelus came today, and will paint midsole black on my spare.

Not that bad. They are colored on the bottom but you cant tell from the sides. Not sure if it would make a diff if you clean your soles after each wear. Ive cleaned mine twice since RD and ive worn a handful of times

Missed the restock and went the reseller way. Paid $290 which is not too bad I think. Loving it.

Haha, she is spoiled enough, kicks would be a waste on her.
I was surprised as to how tight they were.

Tight as in sweet and awesome or as in physically tight on your foot?
