or Nike could just make enough sneakers; Nike can't legally stop reselling unless you sign a contract at Footlocker when you buy them, c'monOriginally Posted by WITNESSkb24
I'm really surprised nobody has posted the chain letter (which isn't true, and if you believe it you are an idiot) about the CEO of Nike speaking and saying they are ending campouts and no longer going to allow people to sell shoes online (because that is possible)
**edit here it is**
NO I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS I AM JUST POSTING IT, YOU SHOULD SEE THE CLOWNS WHO REALLY BELIEVE IT
[h6]
For all of you who haven’t heard, the CEO of Nike just went public on Fox News. He stated he is sorry for all of the problems that were caused by the release of the galaxy shoe pack. Because of the problems all of you hypes caused, all camp outs will be banned starting monday. Nike is no longer releasing shoes in the morning. They are releasing them a time during the day, and there will be no camping during the day. They are making a system to work that out. If you are caught camping at the mall the first time, you will be asked to leave. If you are caught camping out the second time you will be detained. Also they are banning sneaker sales on Ebay.com, Amazon.com, Facebook.com, and many more websites. They are working with all of these companies to stop the classic buy and sell of sneakers. It is happening in almost every city in America. Orlando is even thinking about banning the sales of nike sneakers. So Thank you, all of the hypes that hyped up the galaxy pack, The shoe game is basically over and will change forever as soon as Nike makes these changes.

Understood but my beef has always been with people who don't play by the rules. If its a one pair limit and each person ahead of me got one paid and I missed out then that's on me for not getting there on time. If someone's pulling shady stuff though I have no problem doing something. Im not trying to be no tough guy but I'll be damned if it's a 1 pair limit and someone's walking out with 6 pairs.

Rex, say dude pulls a gun on you...what are you gonna do then?...camping, getting shafted by dudes with connects, paying high resell value, it's all part of it......starting problems, potentially leading to either me getting my *#! beat or killed, or me beating someone's *#! or killing them, then leading to jail and losing everything I have over some damn shoes?....HOLD THAT....I'll be salty while the dude that got the connects walks away with multiples, you act like you are the only one getting the short end of the stick....no matter how you look at it, it isn't worth it....you just lucked out the dude you pulled wasn't about that life, might not be so lucky next time....be smart man.

I really respect how Nice Kicks in Austin handles the shoe release situation. Bracelets are given out based on the amount of shoes in stock, and everyone else that doesn't have a bracelet won't waste their time waiting in line. This also prevents any hostility that may brew while waiting because all those people aren't going to stick around if they know in advance they're not getting a pair.
They recently allowed their customers to pick up their shoes later after having their pair reserved/paid for. Knowing how terrible west campus parking is, the customer doesn't have to walk several blocks while vulnerable and holding highly sought after merchandise.
It's simple, basic, and maintains the customer's security as the main priority.

I don't think y'all understand where things are now. Everything sells out. Nike has dropped all types of stuff that has sold out in minutes the past month. It's not just J's anymore. All the all star Kobe, Lebron and Durants all sold out as well as the foams and the Flight Ones and they all dropped the same day! Not to mention the Dave White AJ 1 and the all star dunks. Just wait until Nike decides to slap a limited tags on basic running shoes. The hype on Nike/Jordan is at a all time high and it's just gonna get worse.
Things will change when white folk who care are "perturbed".............otherwise, low income minorities killing each other for some rubber and plastic aint making no one lose sleep but fiends waiting till midnight......
BTW, why aren't people WEARING these sneakers that they would give a left lung for?

^^ I disagree.... 50% of all purchases are resellers now (IMO)
once people refuse to pay over retail, the trend will die out
once people start paying over retail, the trend will be back in full force
cycles through like anything else...

Honestly people.. at what point did we start beasting over stellar print on shoes? I'm a fan of it all but the prices these resellers are asking for are insane.. they make Yeezy prices look like a joke.. If this shoe was produced in GR numbers I'm almost certain the hype for this shoe would be at a fraction of where it currently stands.

Sneaker game started dying when camping for shoes did. It officially died and killed with hype and everyone became resellers asking $300+ for GR's when the south beach lebron's dropped.

lmao @ Rex Ryan, yo he would definitely do something crazy like that. If I was out there getting 5 pairs I would make sure nobody knew about it, I'd just get home ASAP and list them on ebay.
Funny how people bring morals into this discussion, these are NIKE sneakers, when has Nike ever stood for morality?
Consumers are such hypocrites. If a reseller goes into a store, buys 10 pairs, then holds onto them for a few weeks for a profit, everyone hates him for making $$ off them. If he holds onto the pairs and the hype dies and he loses money, they don't offer him retail, they try and squeeze him for the lowest price. And yet the reseller is supposed to care that these people don't like his hustle

I'm convinced Stillin has folders assigned to each one of us in his computer with pictures he's found
