I don't think Nike believes Kobes are a viable retail sneaker line anymore. I don't think Nike believes Kobe sneakers would be profitable if made available at retail in substantial numbers. I think Nike views Kobes in a way similar to jersey sponsor patches...the sponsor patches that can be...

Just noticing....resale for the Halo is lower than I expected. Definitely lower than the recent 6 and 4 Protros that were released. Maybe common sense is at least starting to take hold.

And to also note...it's against policy of many companies (EBAY one of them) to sell something that you don't aready have in stock/in-hand.

Give StockX credit. When a sale falls through, they still make an effort to honor it by finding the same product (if I'm not mistaken). I feel confident in saying Nike is one of the 100 most valuable companies in the world. They can't figure it out for that customer? (That is assuming the...

And I'm convinced they don't care at all regarding quality. Glue stains, sole seperation...for what they ask, it's unacceptable. I had a pair tailwinds that separated on the first wear. Bravo to Nordstroms. They agreed it was a disgrace and took care of it. When flyknit was introduced, I...

In my area...if you asked someone who they thought was the worst company, you could always count on hearing Comcast about 75% of the time. Now it's often Nike. When I hear things like SNKRS improves the customer experience...I think they've drank too much of their own kool-aid. Last week, I...

Nike has had Internationalists on the ID platform for eons. Yet they can't put one Kobe model up for limited time. If they would have put one model on iD on 8/24, for only 24hrs...giving Kobe fans a way to honor and celebrate him...they would have been heros.

That is the aspect of this that pis_es me off the most. Nike refusing to put these on iD is the ultimate middle finger to the Kobe sneaker fans that have been loyal since the switch to Nike. iD does not infringe on their precious 'hype.' From making mock-ups on the building tool, to waiting...

IMO...you are 100% correct. The 81pts, Purple Reign, and AS 1 Protros were stacked on the shelves from floor to ceiling for a whole side of the isle at the factory stores near me. Deep discounted on a holiday weekend that summer (and I think Nike also would email coupons for factory stores)...

It's amazing. A company touts 'inclusivity', and yet we keep seeing 'exclusivity', again, and again, and again.

Sports Illustrated piece about this morning... https://www.si.com/fannation/sneakers/news/vanessa-bryant-blames-nike-for-limited-kobe-sneaker-release I especially like the line.... Hopefully, Nike is capable of "working towards more units" being released. We believe that the little upstart...

Frictionless transactions, purchases brought to your car, grocery delivery, ship to store, ride services...we even have next day delivery and vending machines for cars. But if you want a pair of Kobes...welcome to the stone ages. It's like trying to score New Kids On The Block tickets in 1988...

I checked in at the store where used to cop some Kobe releases...I wanted to make sure they weren't releasing there. I was the only person who inquired. This is a store that used to have 20-30 people camping in line for prelude pack releases. People have lost interest in this line. It was...

This is the most important Nike Kobe release ever (IMO) -Nike should be totally aware of how frustrated Kobe/Nike fans are about this line. -Nike seems to have near complete control over launches and distribution (are FL, Champs, etc selling them?) -These are building off pre-existing models...

....and it will be available on SNKRS for 00.00.01 Stay Gold Nike....stay gold...
