Curious to why they are there so fast. Was just in the Cincinnati outlet Friday. Copped my girl some AM1s nothing crazy but I went to the mall yesterday and they were there for retail.
I wonder why/how that happened.
Watch Nike/JB remove a lacehole from the Air Jordan 1 OG High, shrink the swoosh further, and start producing them exclusively for the outlets while they keep 85s limited lol
 
I don't understand why Nike outlets have the Green Glows but yet they're still going for full retail price. Isn't everything that is being sold at the outlets supposed to be marked at sale price?
A lot of retailers have gone this route in the last ten years.

What used to be "outlets" --where previous season retail stuff went for massive markdown--are usually now "clearance stores" in Nike parlance. You can find top of the line stuff at steep discount.

What more frequently pop up now are "factory outlets" where Nike will market a few top drawer items, like a single pair of current season tech fleece and a pair of Invincible runners at retail, and then push substandard "made for factory outlet" crap with the rest of the square footage. Lots of suburbanites duped into thinking they're buying the latest and greatest, but it's all garbage.

GAP / Banana Republic / Old Navy are notorious for this. Their "outlet" stores aren't really getting anything notable from previous seasons--its all subpar filler stamped with a GAP logo and then shuffled out for almost as much as their retail stores.
From what I've seen, clearance stores are the ones with stuff marked down, but it's a total crap shoot as to what you'll find. Factory stores are the stores we used to know as outlets. They're just basically retail stores with a hash wall and random sales and less product.
I think the outlets selling releases at full MSRP are simply just taking advantage of uninformed customers.

Pretty wild because 30 sec of legwork in their phone would tell them that they can get releases like these Green Glows for well under retail on StockX/GOAT.

I suppose some people are old school in that they want to try the shoes on first before they buy them though, even if it means they pay a higher price.
