That's not true at all. Jordan Brand does a billion a year, and sells more basketball shoes than Nike, Adidas, Reebok. Yet retros account for the majority of it. The BRed XI release alone was a $90MM release (which still didn't meet demand). That fusion article hits the nail on the head. There's a $1B eBay market for shoes that are 96% Nike. And the reason there's a secondary market that big is because Nike has no interest meeting demand. Once you are supplying enough to meet demand, growth becomes harder, marketing has to be done, etc. They don't want to make enough shoes and this isn't going to change. The bots are just a byproduct of their strategy, one they have to occasionally look tough against, while never taking remotely thorough measures to combat. Bot usage means demand is still high (maybe even growing) and it guarantees sellouts and none of their inventory in their own stores and warehouses, nor the stores of their closest business partners.

I think it's just hard for a lot of NT to come to grips with reality. Nike is too big to care, and we're all just cogs that keep their machine rolling. For every one dude who bails on Nike, there's 99 more to take their place in line (probably more like 99,000 but you get my point).

Gets it. Repped.

So why did Nike SB fall off? Was it simply replaced by Jordan Brand? And what will JB do to avoid this? Does it become a strategic decision on Nike's part at some point later down the line to begin supplying to meet demand?

The idea of "exclusivity" is really something that only makes a difference for folks like us who pay close attention to the sneaker world, as has been pointed out on numerous occasions by Matt Powell. Lulu Lemon and Under Armor are actually valued better by the Street than Nike, and they certainly don't limit their production.

https://ycharts.com/companies/NKE/valuation

And keep in mind, what we consider "limited" every weekend are re-releases of products that have been around for 30 years now. It's not like they're building hype with new products. Heck, they make their real $$$ off of Air Monarchs and stuff most of us wouldn't normally be caught dead in.

The higher LTM valuations simply reflect stronger growth prospects for LULU and UA.

Harder to move the needle on NKE's LTM sales of $30.25B (especially given its market penetration) than it is UA's $3.25B or LULU's $1.80B.
