I'm a charter member of the NMAAHC, so I figured I'd add my 2c - I think it's a cool idea.
Cheers, everyone.

I've thought about this alot, the idea that a gr would ultimately make more in the end seems logical but ever since joining NT, I'm realizing just how much scarcity sells. People want what the can't have. I see people on here trashing a shoe and then when they find out it's "limited" all of a sudden it's a "must cop". I think Jordan brand is a perfect example. I'm sure even something like the recent PlayStations would sit and hit outlets if they were readilly available. gr are almost a gamble whereas raffles are a sure thing. As charitable as something may seem, Nike is ultimately a corporation at the end of the day. Think about how long the process of tallying up of profits for a single shoe would be across the lifespan while it sits on shelves would be as opposed to a limited pair where they know up front how many pairs are available and will all sell immediately.
I still would prefer to see less of the jumping through hoops but am just trying to see the other side.
Not wrong about the whole “scarcity sells” thing but when it comes to PE’s it usually either doesn’t come out (no money for Nike) or it gets a super limited release (some money for Nike, more money for secondary market). Now as a corporation would you not rather maximise your earning potential instead of trying to play off this thoery of hype? Its time like these where Nike seems so out of touch once again with their customers. They have all the means nowadays to see what colorways that are PE’s are received by the public on social media and yet they still do this limited stuff, its baffling how much money they’ve potentially not made over the last 5 years and im just speaking for Nike Basketball.
U can enter without donating
Size 12 Crew checking in, down to mix if I somehow winGood cause to donate to, if I win a size 12 colorway who’s down to mix? Lol you never know.
Multi pair is good, but I think a black swoosh would’ve been even better
sounds like a cheap ploy to get celebrities to donate
I’m out. Gimme fruity pebbles
Bastards
No offense but you sound like you're online too much and or hang out with only people into sneakers. The avg person don't give a flip about all these PE like cats on here. Ask the avg person are the Jordan's 13 that's coming out next week are they based on something from 20 years ago or not they going to look at you like dude beat it. The avg customer will accept whatever cause tbh they don't care as much as you think on CW. Now price wise they could probably do something but CW wise nah.So much truth with this post. As great as Nike is with marketing, they’re so out of touch with today’s consumer, it’s not even funny. A limited release or keeping the good colors as PEs does NOTHING for their cause in today’s times. Today’s buyers won’t just accept whatever you give them(mainly the bland colors) without consequence. People will move on to the next thing if they can’t get what they desire when they want it. No more consolation prize purchases with today’s market. Greed along with not giving people what they want is why Nike Basketball has struggled the past few years.
