Exactly. If I had to pay resale on the Hare 7s, I would not have bought the matching socks. And if I had to pay resale on the Chicago 1s, no way in hell am I going to buy the Pro Star 5s this weekend. I'm sure this is the case for many customers
NDC says they cancelled this release specifically because of bots. Power resellers that use bots to stack inventory are a threat to their long term customer base. Nike produces below demand for very specific reasons. One is so that they can continue to drive their price point. Another is so when you miss on a popular release you're likely to spend that money you didn't use on some of their other products. They try to do both without losing customers. If someone spends $400 for a product NDC sold at $170 there is a little chance they're hitting up NDC for matching shorts or the next week's release. Negative customer experience costs customers. It's business 101.
