Foot locker, HOH, mom n pops, etc. They're all resellers. None of those sources makes the shoe and sells direct. Point being that some of you need to educate yourselves. Buy what you like from wherever you'd like. Do some work if you want the shoes cheaper. It's not that hard.
lol...
So you're telling me that when foot locker buys a bunch of shoes from Nike that they're not doing the same thing an individual does when he buys those same shoes from foot locker and sells them to you and your friends?
Breakdown:
Nike makes shoe for $6
Nike sells shoe to retailer for $83
Retailer sells shoe to you for $160 + tax
Reseller sells shoe to you for $220.
In some instances, shoe gains value if in DS condition and you sell to someone else for $300.
C'mon.. It's a side business and businesses goals are to grow. In some cases these side businesses become bigger and more profitable. It is what it is. If you don't like it, don't look in it's direction. Or go stand in line for a couple of hours. It's that simple.
The only thing you can do is either support what you like or don't support it if you don't like. Or do, doesn't matter. Do you.
Are you serious?
They receive them directly from Nike
Authorized retailer with a Nike/JB account...case closed
There's a MSRP on the box
Everyone knows you're a reseller, you need to bow out of certain discussions, because it makes you look worse.
