Yeah I definitely think there is some truth to this, also it’s pretty clear they use StockX/GOAT as a measure of what is popular and simply create derivative cws like:

“Oh, Mochas are popular?? Well, let’s release the ‘We got Mochas at home!’”

This would definitely explain the green glow releases. Probably saw the 4s going for $800 in goat and figured it would be an automatic hit lol.. whoever is running things at JB is out of touch.
 
Reminder that any shoe is designed/workshopped/brainstormed for a year+ before we see it on the shelf. There is a whole industry based around predicting and setting trends, especially in regards to color, that is not limited to sneaker colorways lol. Maybe these latte joints aren't as nice as mochas, but if someone wants a shoe to match their earth tone outfits, they might be pretty happy with em.

Also, mochas dropped in 2020. Let's take kids that were 16 in 2020 that are now 20 in 2024. They might not have been able to get mochas in 2020, but now they can get lattes. I think that's pretty good for nike and for the consumer.

Or if they want consumers to have them they could just re-release em.
