I just find it hard to believe a store would sell all the pairs to one guy. If they did though, the manager doesn't know how to run a store. That is so freaking weak! Good luck to you all!

A big part of a mangers job is to sell its inventory and he just did, so like it or not he did what he had to do, maybe it wasnt fair for everyone else who wouldnt have a chance to sell these, but they are 15 SE and i am 99% sure that all of these will go onto sale racks, so he maybe analysised the situation cleaverly,
I would disagree with that for at least a couple of reasons:
1) If you have 22 products available, what would you rather have? 22 satisfied customers or 1?
2) What scenario allows you to sell the most apparel, socks, laces, whatever: 22 pairs to one person or 22 pairs to 22 people?
This release was mishandled from the top down, period. You actually had a good product here. Let's face it: it's no minor miracle that they were ableto take the XV SE and make people actually WANT to pay $130 for them. They FINALLY utilized their college licenses in an interesting way, and many of us in DChave something of an emotional connection to those kente cloth patterned Georgetown uniforms.
It was a great product idea, and they absolutely BLEW it with their mind numbingly idiotic allocation. You had this great buzz - surrounding the XV SE!! Nowlook at it, it's just another classic example of how the brand systematically abuses its most loyal supporters.
It's probable that this particular manager didn't know what they had on their hands and/or lacked the authority to implement a per customer limitwithout approval from the corporate office. Whatever the reason, the end result is that it's really the dedicated Jordan fan that loses in all of this -and the brand's image takes yet ANOTHER hit.
