from what I read, he got caught doing what we're assuming most boutiques are doing these days. unloading bulk GRs that folks will only touch on sale to a reseller. while i think most shops probably unload their stock via bulk resellers in the states or directly on these platforms via agreements/ccontracts directly, this guy who they caught with the money either paid more per pair or had the ability to funnel more volume over seas. which was probably beneficial considering the WTG has multiple shops with JB/Nike accounts.
personally, i think id be more upset if this was in the midst of a sneakers drought where sneakers were actually hard to get and AMM collabs werent so plentiful.
personally, i think the brand had to know to some extent what WTG was doing as they do with most collaborators but probably didnt know how "untidy" it was from a legal perspective.
As long as im getting my shoes, as a consumer, i dont really care that much. The travis scott group on the other hand, i could go on for days about. the vast majority of his shoes dont the streets for retail.
