That's not illegal if Nike chooses to do so. If the internal accounting accounts for it, it's no different than Nike selecting which stores get its product and which don't, which is something it has actively done lately in canceling the accounts of many of its longtime retail partners while keeping others. The only thing that's ever caused retailers to stick to specific release dates and specific pricing is Nike itself. In the past, if it caught stores selling early or selling at marked up prices, it could take those stores' accounts away. But it was Nike's choice, not a law. It can absolutely supply a seller with a product whenever it wants, and it can also tell that seller it doesn't care what price it sells the shoes for. Anyway, sorry for derailing the main point of the thread.Definitely something illegal if a dweeb like ben gets a warehouse full before the store itself.
We already got a small taste of it with that kid whose mom was the VP of nike
