They sell you a service instead, so the guy is technically selling a "how not to buy fake shoes" guide, and as a bonus you get a free entry in to his shoe raffle. They do it all over IG and twitter.

Did not know that about Disney but it's expected really the only complaints I hear about working for them is the crappy minimum wage. Hope to do the college program there eventually can't wait to get use the discounts. I wonder if they can use swoosh.

Because raffles are a form of gambling and gambling is heavily regulated, if not illegal, in all states.

Interesting that Disney employees get a discount at that nike clearance store and that it's marked final sale

I saw that too. This whole tb thing sucks , it's either resellers are buying every single pair, people are holding out, no phone orders or nike customer service suck . I bet once they get the style code they don't even search they probably be like wait we never even had a release for these wtf are they talking about .

2 things tbs haven't released in outlets and second you can't always nike find shoes that in clearance, as inventory don't always get scanned in as it sells as fast as it comes it so there inventory system is different

Hold up, which store in Kissimmee has all of this? I was down there not too long ago and it was like 5 different Nike stores in a 10 mile radius, and all of them had an inventory of 100% filler.

1st they did release at outlets that's where everyone is getting 2nd some ebay sellers have at least 10 pairs of tbs I'm sure they were at least in the system I don't even think they check the system.

on the raffle thing (even tho that discussion may be over), not only is it a form of gambling, but each state has different laws about these types of online raffles, which makes it a nightmare legally. i am not certain the way it is being done is properly circumventing the law... the person may still be liable, but the odds of getting caught being that small of a fish are low....
sorry for possibly beating a dead horse, just find this stuff riveting

The only tb I seen an know to release in a outlet is the white/black and I'm thinking back to the beginning of the year. And the rest have came via clearance store , were bulk buyers have bought up all the green, red, white tbs. We had one tb come in our outlet but that was due to a return from down the street

Pretty sure it would be had to ever be charged, as you can also and the word "charity shoe" on the raffle an possibly be overlooked

Just calling it a charity doesn't make it a charity.
"Unless specifically exempted, a nonprofit organization must register with the Attorney General's Registry of Charitable Trusts prior to conducting the raffle and file an aggregate financial disclosure report for all raffles held during the reporting year."
Per the California office of the attorney general. Additionally even if you registered as a charity, you can only use 10% of those funds to cover the cost of running the raffle, and the rest goes towards to whatever cause your charity is for.
Different states have different laws, but ignorance of those laws won't cover you when they come knocking.
