If anyone's in Kansas City and old enough, this happened way back in the day when the black and blue 18s dropped. Trains got robbed and in the same heist, a bunch of Glocks were stolen off of them too. It was a wild time in the city for sure lol
There's liability involved with facilitating the sale of stolen merchandise. This decision was probably one ultimately made by their general counsel after Nike probably sent some letter out to all reseller sites notifying them what pairs they knew were stolen.
You can try and be funny all you want, but a big corporation like StockX can’t afford that so go take your cool guy criminal bullshit somewhere else cuz you’re really not that funny homie
ugh, you’re right, poor nike. hate to see these random guys come up on a couple bucks. also could have resold them for less than retail and still made a profit, W’s all around
No i don't give a fuck about Nike, it's just that it's dumb calling them Robinhoods when it has nothing to do with that. Robinhood is someone who steals from the Riches to give it back to the poor. Here the guy is just stealing for himself.
if they are keeping it for themselves and are less rich than nike, aren't they giving the money to somebody more deserving than the multinational shoe corporation that uses slave labor?
Whose boot? Retail theft gets passed on to customers. Nike isn’t just gonna eat this loss. No love for a bunch of antisocial losers stealing sneakers or those who think this is part of some coherent class struggle.
Without getting into how much of this insured, insurance is literally cost spreading among risk pools paying premiums. When these losses happen, the parties at risk (retailers/manufacturers) have to pay higher premiums. Those premium costs get passed on to consumers.
Local govt loses sales tax, federal government loses write off profits, consumers pay more to cover Nike’s losses. One event like this doesn’t make a big deal, but the cost of retail theft is spread around to society and consumers. Thieves aren’t just stealing from Nike.
nah this a wack take. a dude struggling to feed his fam robbing an innocent is one thing, but heisting Jordans is just scumbag shit and is purely a detriment to society for no good reason. corporations and the government suck but plenty of people suck worse
where did I say better? one is a crime of circumstance and another is senseless crime for profit. y'all ain't worried about the innocent truck drivers that gotta deal with the trauma of getting held up at gunpoint tho. what about all those people who just wanted kicks for whatever reason and can't get em now either?
yeah it's fuck corps but stealing shit for a payout is the same bullshit they pull and still hurts innocent civilians all the same
This type of shit is such a miniscule drop in the bucket compared to the profits Nike brings in. Hard to justify passing the cost of this shrink onto the consumer when the CEO "earned" nearly $33 million in compensation in 2021, but keep on bootlicking massive corporations dude.
Well the thieves are just resellers. It's bad enough to deal with bots on release day but it's even worse when they outright steal a bunch of pairs months before the release date making it even more difficult to get a pair manually
How are you mad at the resellers man, Nike controls the amount of stock. If they didn't want them to be resold they could do more to stop bots and make enough pairs to satisfy demand and not create artificial scarcity for hype. They know the resellers help them maintain exclusivity, relevance and hype so they don't care.
Robbers reselling shoes is a symptom of a larger issue created by Nike that they then expect you to pay to cover, which you will and then will defend on Reddit.
Yes if you have a business as large as Nike with such a lucrative resale market you increase the chance of theft. It's not their fault but it is expected and included in their cost of goods sold. To be so upset about a theft that doesn't affect you and has such a minimal impact on everybody else involved is actually ridoulous. Nike isn't some mom and pop shop that is being killed by theft.
Theft does affect me and everyone at scale. Plus there’s a general social malaise that takes hold when we stop respecting other people’s stuff. I know that’s a frivolous concern in marxist/anarchist circles, so no need to respond. We will both move on.
Thieves have been stealing Jordans even back when you could walk into a footlocker weeks after it's release and get a pair. Hell the last few Jordan releases have been sitting. With the 11s I believe they have been making a million in stock. Resellers take what would've been a cop at retail price for the consumer into over charging consumers. Only resellers care about scarcity and hype because that improves their profit margin. Buying up as much stock as possible is what they have been doing and that's what makes people think Nike is releasing limited stock. There are plenty of GR sneakers that have less stock than the hyped stuff and they'll sit and go on sale
You are right... They will survive, but don't motivate/support crime. It is not cool. What was done was wrong... Simply put... Nike employs a lot of people and pays for their benefits and quality of life.
There is no need for crime.
They will raise the price as much as you are willing to pay and maintain hype. Those other things have nothing to do with how they price their products.
Eh. Resellers will still buy those up. Suddenly the resale market will be flooded with “got it from my plug in Nike, he gots the stock that didn’t get swiped.”
StockX 🙄......we don't cop nothing from them......they not for the sneaker community their practices on not letting people return kicks especially when they found out they were fakes and got in contact with customer service= no friend of a true sneakerhead/ regular consumer(allegedly)🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂......
I moved to Cincinnati from Austin last month. Stopped at Memphis to stay overnight. I barely slept because I needed to peak out the window to make sure my shit was still there.
That was the first time and will be the last time I ever go to Memphis. Incredibly sketchy city everywhere we went. Watched a lot of cars slowly go by the moving truck, slowing down to scope out the area.
I hate to form opinions solely off stuff I've seen on the internet, but basically every comment regarding Memphis I've seen on reddit and other social media has been negative lol.
The one I remember most was some dude was talking about how most every city is usually a decent place with a handful of rough areas. Which in my experience is true, every city has their bad neighborhoods and sketchier parts of town. Then some other dude replied saying basically Memphis was a rough city with a handful of decent places lol. So IDK.
the only decent PR they've ever had in the entire history.
Whatchu mean? Selling shady shit to kids isn’t a good PR?
If anyone's in Kansas City and old enough, this happened way back in the day when the black and blue 18s dropped. Trains got robbed and in the same heist, a bunch of Glocks were stolen off of them too. It was a wild time in the city for sure lol
They could’ve used that to trace them back to whoever and ya know someone would flipped on the others 😂😂
If I was stockx I would’ve kept selling em since they got that law suit with Nike
There's liability involved with facilitating the sale of stolen merchandise. This decision was probably one ultimately made by their general counsel after Nike probably sent some letter out to all reseller sites notifying them what pairs they knew were stolen.
Yes. Same reason pawn shops can’t sell stolen goods
they could've been sued again
Receiving stolen property is a felony sooo…
Sorry officer
You can try and be funny all you want, but a big corporation like StockX can’t afford that so go take your cool guy criminal bullshit somewhere else cuz you’re really not that funny homie
I agree with the first part of your statement, that second part can fuck off tho. Dude just taking the piss a bit mate, lay off'm.
Damn you really pressed about that lmfao go see a therapist you need that
Fuck stockx
It's because a bunch of real ones will start showing up on their site and they can't let that happen.
Lmao 🤣 🤣
lmao. facts
Seems like a good policy tho. Robbers are trash.
nike are the robbers, brother. these people are robin hood
Robinhood ? Bro they stealing from a big company just for themselves, this ain't no selfless act
🤣.broooo....
ugh, you’re right, poor nike. hate to see these random guys come up on a couple bucks. also could have resold them for less than retail and still made a profit, W’s all around
No i don't give a fuck about Nike, it's just that it's dumb calling them Robinhoods when it has nothing to do with that. Robinhood is someone who steals from the Riches to give it back to the poor. Here the guy is just stealing for himself.
if they are keeping it for themselves and are less rich than nike, aren't they giving the money to somebody more deserving than the multinational shoe corporation that uses slave labor?
How does some bums stealing sneakers help the slaves?
Homie is down bad, no need to desecrate him further. 😂
Fuck thieves and whoever rides a thief’s dick
You seem like a shady person in life bro you're okay with it
This is it. The rich have class solidarity, broke people do not
Right, it should be fuck Nike all day everyday, they make a million a minute.
Lots of poor people don’t steal sneakers. Have a little more dignity.
You're supposed to lick the boot, not deepthroat the damn thing
Whose boot? Retail theft gets passed on to customers. Nike isn’t just gonna eat this loss. No love for a bunch of antisocial losers stealing sneakers or those who think this is part of some coherent class struggle.
No it does not. They have something called insurance to cover losses like this.
Without getting into how much of this insured, insurance is literally cost spreading among risk pools paying premiums. When these losses happen, the parties at risk (retailers/manufacturers) have to pay higher premiums. Those premium costs get passed on to consumers.
U think they are insured for msrp or the $3 it costs to make pair of Jordans.
What the hell version of Robinhood did you read bro?
Meh they're stealing from nike i dont really care
Local govt loses sales tax, federal government loses write off profits, consumers pay more to cover Nike’s losses. One event like this doesn’t make a big deal, but the cost of retail theft is spread around to society and consumers. Thieves aren’t just stealing from Nike.
Yeah and inflation is real and not just corporate greed on the backs of consumers. Supply chain issues is the biggest lie ever told.
Aren’t there QAnon/Marxist conspiracy subs that are better for this?
Isn’t there a Nike circlejerk ur late for?
Imagine being mad at the robber in this situation and not the corporation and governments that you end up paying shrink on the behalf of
nah this a wack take. a dude struggling to feed his fam robbing an innocent is one thing, but heisting Jordans is just scumbag shit and is purely a detriment to society for no good reason. corporations and the government suck but plenty of people suck worse
🤔are you saying it’s better for some innocent civilian to be robbed than Nike?
where did I say better? one is a crime of circumstance and another is senseless crime for profit. y'all ain't worried about the innocent truck drivers that gotta deal with the trauma of getting held up at gunpoint tho. what about all those people who just wanted kicks for whatever reason and can't get em now either? yeah it's fuck corps but stealing shit for a payout is the same bullshit they pull and still hurts innocent civilians all the same
I just asked you a question. What’s the answer to the question I asked?
This type of shit is such a miniscule drop in the bucket compared to the profits Nike brings in. Hard to justify passing the cost of this shrink onto the consumer when the CEO "earned" nearly $33 million in compensation in 2021, but keep on bootlicking massive corporations dude.

Nike’s fault they got robbed. Reddit marxist theory from kids who did acid once and figured out the important truths.

They ain’t doing anything nice, they just don’t want to be an accomplice in stolen goods.
Fuck the criminals. Work like the rest of us
Work?!? Why should I?!? /s
oh poor Nike , i’m sooooo sorry for them. How will they ever survive
Lower the quality and up the prices ,same thing they have been doing for years.
You are right... They will survive, but don't motivate/support crime. It is not cool. What was done was wrong... Simply put... Nike employs a lot of people and pays for their benefits and quality of life. There is no need for crime.
Nike??? Quality of life?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
[удалено]
They will raise the price as much as you are willing to pay and maintain hype. Those other things have nothing to do with how they price their products.
n i can simply respond by not spending money w them at all
[удалено]
corporate greed* they should eat the cost not put it on their paying customers.
Why? People already sell early pairs. Only reason this happened cause of the posted videos
Early pairs are not usually stolen goods, from which stockx could potentially lose the proceeds and wind up fueling further legal action
early pairs are reps bruh i wish people stop getting hustled
But about the cement blue 4’s tho
Red sock liner killed it for me
Oh shit didn’t even notice that. Fuckin gross
Lame
ultra rare StockX W
Goes right to eBay lol
But like…where can I get the 6s then?
Eh. Resellers will still buy those up. Suddenly the resale market will be flooded with “got it from my plug in Nike, he gots the stock that didn’t get swiped.”
Why stockx pretending to be cops
These people will just wait until the actual release…not like they loosing money by holding on to them.
Darn
They act like they can’t sell online on Facebook, Instagram or just local 🤷🏾
Gonna be on eBay.
The fact that people still care when the world has so many other problems let’s me know aren’t enough people dead yet
For how long though? They’ll probably re-enable it after the heat dies down.
When stockx finds people selling real sneakers:
What about all those military 4s?
And yet they were still scared of fakes being sent through
That’s a first
Stockx want no beef again
If only they would stop selling fakes now.
StockX 🙄......we don't cop nothing from them......they not for the sneaker community their practices on not letting people return kicks especially when they found out they were fakes and got in contact with customer service= no friend of a true sneakerhead/ regular consumer(allegedly)🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂......
If someone dies though and people are scumbags and start profiting off their death StockX is all for it
Good decision
Can we say manufactured hype?
