Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

edmunddantes2 · Jul 9, 2014

The raffle was 15$ per Number, and a Total of 100 Number Slots - so that is Like 1500$

1st Pick was Jordan 4 "Fire Red" size 9.5US

2nd Pick was Air Jordan 1 ROYALS size 9.5US and I won it

I'll be getting the pair next week, hopefully you can help me Legit Check the pair for Authenticity

I always dreamed of that pair and now all I need is a DS Air Jordan 1 Shadow and I'm set.

Working at a sneaker store, what people fail to realize is that Nike/Brand Jordan makes a company Like Foot Locker or Mom and Pop store purchase crap like the Air Jordan 1 1994, or True Flights and a boatload of Nike/Jordan slides, lame looking clothes in order for them to receive shipments of hot shoes for example any hot Air Jordan or Lebron, etc. Nike/Jordan doesn't care if you take their clothes out the back of the store and burn them, as long as the store buys them. They get their money already and leave with less wanted/inferior product to have to sell.

A Friend Told me that JB requires a min of 30k plus purchased in inventory to become and Official Jordan Brand Authorized Store...

and that's if they even decided to offer it to your store.

mrdeeds · Jul 9, 2014

Everybody doesn't pick/buy shoes because of perceived values, my fire red 4s have gotten way more wears than my royals.

Everyone is trying to squeeze every penny out of whatever they have. Go to a shoe-con where there are 100 people with the same shoe. You will get a deal.

It's more than 30K and they make you buy a specific amount of clothes and other items that won't sell.

Even though it's illegal (nikes law) theres a small local shop that makes bundles of crap and then makes people by the crap to have the right to buy the shoe.

i'm sure more than a few places do this...

That's why Nike really doesn't want to deal with mom and pops/boutiques. They'd prefer only corporate owned stores have accounts villa/dtlr/shoe palace, when someone could potentially lose their account at 50 stores as opposed to 1 they are easier to bully.

You are 100% right.

I read in Nikes shareholders meeting that the plan is to close up little shops and start to open more Nike and or Jordan retail stores.

I doubt that, why would they close up other shops when they won't affect any new Nike/Jordan stores opening? It's like earning extra credit on your math test and deciding not to use it just because.....

Let Me Add the 30K was a MINIMUM amount purchased Per MONTH...

But your probably right.. more for bigger stores in Diff Locations compared to others..

and I'm sure they are forced to buy gear everything else to an extent.

It goes back to control.

Employees reselling, rigging raffles, ETC.

Nike does not like that bundle crap.

Small stores aren't worth it to nike.

Also, nike can cut out the middle man and increase revenue.

My Senior thesis for graduate business school was on Nike.

This was almost 12 years ago.

It's almost scary the way I predicted what is happening today:

The highlight reels joke was spot on.

These dips in the stock usually happen when they (nike) report financials and they did not meet or exceed analysts expectations.

So they won't resell or rig raffles at Nike stores? 21 Mercer

Honestly, I believe sales have to be much more than that, and just for a Mom and Pop to get retros, your store has to be MOVING shoes or you will have a hard time just getting the Jordan account initially for Team Jordans let alone retros.

HankHill · Jul 9, 2014

Thats crazy that Nike/JB makes you spend 30k on **** that isn't going to sell in order to receive their hot sneakers. Is that company wide or is each individual store required to do that?

They got stores paying 30k for some tees and every colorway of the Son of Jumpman 16-7 Flight Fuzions, but only giving them one full size run of the signature line
