at my local finishline, the manager is my bro just got his release calendar or watever, but he still looks at me like i know all about the newreleases comin out this year...
he says they gettin the DMP pack but automatically thinks of the 6s and 11s until he contacts me and i tell him about the raging bulls 5s and the 3m 5s, isthis the intelligence you expect from a finishline manager?


discuss

and at my local Footlocker, this chick's like "we can get any shoe you wanna order" so i ask another employee the next day he's like:"HUH??"
 
Yes most if not all employee's @ shoes stores do not know or care enough about sneakers to give a $&@" enough to do the research like mostsneakerheads like you and I do, so therefore we have all the info, same thing happens to me with my friend who is a manager @ footaction.
 
- He is a manager, he got other stuff to do rather than spending all of his time on the internet looking at sneakers.

Give him a break and just help him out.
 
i do help him out and he orders more sneakers off the net than i do, and when the 11/12 pack came out he pre-sold em AND the very day before that he told mehis district manager said its against policy to pre- sell them cuz they were a general release but he sold me n my bro's out on the spot!!

They don't know nada until their trying to get you to buy something. Then, they turn into a sneaker encyclopedia.
 
Sneaker shops should only hire SneakerHeads period

most people that work at these shoe stores are not sneaker heads like everyone on NT.
 
ask them about running shoes or whats better for dif cases and see if they kno at least that stuff.
 
Thats not how my connect is ,
hes a manager at finish line,
hes up on game , and he dont even like J's.......
 
finishline is not only selling jordans or basketball shoes... lmfao
it is nothing unusual that they dont know much about the sneaker info~ we know tht much, cuz we like sneakers like a hobby, so we go online check very often.
but a sport store manager has no requirement of being sneaker head...
if u r undftd, FCLA or FCNY, etc. this kind of sneakers only store, but the store manager doesnt know anything about the sneakers, then it is kinda blameable~

and plus the store manager is good enuf with his job, he asked u, it means he wnts to learn, to prepare his job, his putting his heart and effort on his job...
not like just keeping the job without caring anything~ hes a good manager in my view~
i dont think sneakerhead is a neccessary requirment for a footlocker, footaction or finishline store manager~

this topic just pointless to me... grow up...
 
It's always good to know about the items your are selling. I manage a huge company and if I didnt know anything about the product I was selling I dontthink I would get the business i do.
 
every time i go into a store nobody knows anything! not 1 person there was 5 shoe stores in my mall and they knew nothing, i hate it cuz you ask a question andalways get the wrong answer. like they dont even know what jordan 1's are and store get so many of them a month, its horrible i would work in one but thepay isnt good.. i hate also how everytime i walk in their like just to let you know we go brand news jordan fusions in .. lol also they lie in somestoreclaiming shoes are limited. im not sure if thats cuz they dont know or just trying to get more sales..
 
He is just trying to monitor a business he need to knowledge. As long as they put the shoes for sale I could care less.
 
Well, dude has to have some knowledge, being that he is a manager. it says alot that he values a customer's opinion enough to even consider askingquestions about future releases. might be what some call, "keeping an ear to the streets".
