Don't know if this has been mentioned or entirely true. Talked to my friend who owns a small sports shop down here in Southern Utah, he said he won't be getting any more retros after the Legend Blue 11's. Jordan rep told him 35 stores from Utah/Nevada/California will no longer be getting retros. Her reasoning was that the market is flooded and nike also wants to sell more directly from their website and store-fronts to increase margins. Something to think about..

this has nothing to do with that


this started last year
stores that didn't update their shop or as nike like to say 'shopping experience" got their accounts pulled from getting jordan's and i believe nike's

one of the reason alot of online stores went under in the past 2 year
who ever they got their merchandise from must have lost their nike account

No Nike Towns around the 412, so I doubt this will play a role around here. At least I hope it dont.

Nike also plays a part in Villa which is why they are popping up everywhere...

Between villa, NIketowns, their outlets and HOH Nike can afford to squeeze out some of these mom and pops...

I ain't too mad tho I've been to some shady *** boutiques and mom and pop shops

Impossible to compete with the merchandising of a big chain store no matter how big of a mom and pops store you are.

While I understand that it's a part of the business. Those big *** chain stores def take their losses too. For the longest time I remember some of my local mom and pops making tons in those fake *** Bape hoodies
