“What’s wrong with paying resale if you got it?”

you’re paying for a little teenage white boys car when he’s already rich

Never gonna be me. Little kid Is laughing at y’all

Reselling something that they once ridiculed Black people for engaging in. Don’t forget, sneakers were once referred to as felony shoes by the nypd.

The sneaker game hasn't changed much honestly. It's gotten more advanced technology wise but it's always been hook up or back door driven. 2005 is the same as 2020-21 by all general measures.

The major change up is the waiting in line for a chance to get shoes. Now it's a lottery to wait in line for a chance? That's the major change. But bots have been around awhile.

I was never aware of this. So this scum abused her position, especially with nepotism involved. So she was basically funneling inventory to her son's resale business?

I more or less saying it has become much more mainstream than ever and with a pandemic tossed it, shoes have become another commodity. I remember back when they had that 60 mins special on "sneakerheads" ain't been right since.

'It's a side hustle mom. Just a couple thousand. '

Then he proceeds to be showcased by Bloomberg, and then end talks when you call from your mom's land line.

Biggest Fumble of 2021. Who's next?

I sort of feel bad. He asked for her not to be mentioned? Like how sheltered are you? It doesn't work like that buddy. I swear I remember seeing some resellers have a mask on or go by aliases, or are met at undisclosed locations. He has photos in his own mother's house.

Disagree. I remember when the “shoe game” (stupid term) was about finding store going out of business or finding small mom and pops with the one shoe in your size then getting what you could to KEEP and WEAR. Retros were few and far between. The “game” was to have a clean pair that nobody could find. This **** today isn’t about that at all

Using her credit card and her number!!

Smh. Nike keeps track of all your purchases. I’m sure they been knew this was going on and decide to sit back and let this dude not only dog his own grave but build his own casket too.

Pretty sure a lot of people still ridicule and say racist things about black people and sneakers, there’s just a lot more people who are into sneakers nowadays.

On god it’s never that deep.

Never lined up for a pair of kicks.

I remember when these raffles started i saw people lining up so i asked what it was for. They said raffle. I said raffle for what? I cant remember what shoes it was. I legit thought it was a raffle to win a pair, not a raffle for a chance to buy a pair. Lol FOH. I remember the days when youd wait to get a pair on discount. **** now if i cant just walk in a store, or click add to cart i guess is more appropriate now, i dont care about it.

The concept of entering a draw to win the opportunity to spend MY money has always been wild to me. I love sneakers, but that's some crackhead logic.

You don't step down after 25 years if you're innocent, right? Optics are bad here.

Your mom is an exec at Nike. You're acting like a fool on social media with yeezys in the background that you're reselling. Sounds like trouble to me.

Glad they BOTH got caught. Very deserving of a loud.....

Of course. This kid is running a “business”. Or rather was running one

“these negros is out here spending our tax dollars on sneakers etc.” - lame

the narrative depends on the hue of your skin.

I’m sure she has her fair share of blame in this, but seeing her picture, she seems like a nice lady. I feel kinda bad for her.

If he was black it would be labeled a criminal enterprise. Framing is everything

 

[therealest1]

This would be the only appropriate reaction for the mom and son right now based on how bad they f'd up.

 

[sohi 23]

she does seem like a nice person. But oh well.



Here’s his warehouse

Nah man, I don’t feel bad for her at all. She had to have known about it and kept it running

 

[WASHED KING]

The amount of similarities between sneakers and drugs is actually kind of wild.
