Foxconn! Apple is terrible.. It's a terrible company to work for.. The pay is trash in the retail stores and all the employees that make the products try to kill themselves or they end up with cancer

Can we just keep this stuff out of the thread? I work for said company and don't come to NT to read about how bad I'm treated by my employer (which couldn't be further from the truth).

Apple is terrible, and I'm pretty sure you aren't a retail employee.

The salt levels in this thread is at epic proportions. I, like many of you, missed out and I'm looking at the resell market for my personal pair. I think we need to stop blaming resellers and accept that this is how it is moving forward. Nike is a successful company because they are one of the best marketers in the world. They don't want us to be able to grab every release because it fuels our thirst for the next shoe. I have a budget (that number has a mid to high 3 in it so I'm not unrealistic) of what I'm willing to pay and if I can't find it, I keep it moving. /end rant

Someone was saying they would rather give Nike $500 than give it to a Re seller. And then he said no companies like Apple / Nike / Samsung make products that make my life better etc. I was just schooling him, that it's actually more moral to give a re seller $500 than Nike lol.

Like I said, keep your opinions to yourself or go to a general forum to discuss. This is an Air Jordan 1 Chicago thread. I don't come here to read this stuff.

Lol you cite ONE example about how some workers at an Apple factory kill themselves. So now these big bad corporations are killing machines out to get their workers?
Was it Apple that forced these workers to work for them? NOPE.

People that hate on corporations because of some liberal article they read make me laugh. You probably typed your post from a computer made in a factory in China, while wearing clothes made in a Chinese sweatshop, yet corporations like Nike/Samsung/Apple are bad guys. Riiiight

Like the other guy said, this is about the Chicago 1's not sweatshops lol, I was just expounding on someone else's point, I wasn't the one who made it. I could have an hour long conversation with you about this, but let's get back to the shoes. (I didn't start this convo btw lol)

Pull the trigger and sell them for $500+ down the line if you don't score on NDC. Just beware of fakes

For some reason this doesn't work for most hardcore heads. It seems like it's in or out for most of us. Similar to partying in that regard.Thought about it for a while. But the consumer inside me said nobut after I buy a pair I tell myself I wouldn't focus on buying sneakers for a while.

True, all this noise is free marketing for Nike and JB. In this social media age, traditional campaigns don't drive sales as much as public notoriety. Just ask Kanye.
