Florida man bought, resold limited-edition sneakers stolen from Nike, court documents say

Check out the Smoking Gun article on this if you haven't. Goes a lot into detail about the situation from grey market manufacturing to Yamaguchi himself snitching even after being read his rights

:lol: but no one is getting in trouble though. These guys are going to do federal time. This arguably the biggest story for sneakers in years. Would be a shame if the blogs aren't talking about it.

I guess I won't ever own Blue Suede 7s in my size one day.

I've heard the Nike employees usually can scoop up PE/samples for like 20 dollars in the employee stores though so this really isn't that surprising to me at all either. I wonder if a certain NTer was buying from this same dude though. :nerd:

That's what I'm saying. I don't think people realize how big this story is. Crazy that not one of the big sneaker blogs / websites has even commented on this.

Likely looking out for the homies. If there's one thing we've learned about all these blogs is they don't provide unbiased content.
 
NICEKICKS has a business relationship with Look/See so you know they ain't saying ****.... 

the sunglasses from the limited edition Grand Anse pack were Look/See branded 
 
Those 3's are legit,  I will be looking and applying for that job when its inevitable made available on Nike Inc haha.  I've bought some glasses from Look/See before and had a couple email conversations with Kyle about shoes.  Seemed like a real cool guy pretty disappointing that he would go and do something like that.
