IMO Packages are ILLEGAL

I believe everyone knows that MS has been sued for tying
(MS combined MS Office,IE,WMP into Windows and forced Windows users to use MS office,IE, and WMP)

Maybe if NT shoeheads unite and make a consumer organization we could file a civil law suit against JB for releasing packages
and limiting consumers' right to buy what we want and to not buy what we don't want

By releasing packages and making consumers buy what they don't want is undoubtedly illegal and we should claim the rights of consumers clearly.

Sorry bro. It is Not illegal. Besides that, even if it was illegal under the same theories that applied in the microsoft case (i.e., Anti-Trust violations),we as consumers wouldn't even have standing to sue them. In order to sue for Anti-Trust you have to have been harmed by the act as a competitor of theparty you are suing (or be the Federal Gov't). There are no consumer protection laws that prohibit or restrict the sale of items as packs here in theU.S., nor would there ever be one due to the powerful influence of corporate lobbying in our legislative process. But as far as the anti-trust argument, itdoesn't apply because, as some have stated, Nike has healthy competition in the market.

There are probably strong consumer protection laws in most European countries (which have an entirely different system of laws from us -- i.e., civil law vs.common law), which might be why they split packs over there to avoid illegalities.
 
JB Forum should stay away from legal discussion, some of you guys sound pretty silly. I'm not going to write an essay or anything but packs aren'ttying.

REALLY wanted Carmines, and if the XVII's were white/red or if they were black leather like the OG's, I might have broken down and copped that pack, but still, didn't cop. Only CDP pack I got was the XI/XII pack because I wanted both shoes.

They're just sneakers. As much as we love them, they're just sneakers. Same reason I'm not copping spacejams? Aside from the shape being all funny, what am I supposed to be paying $175 for? Plastic inserts?

PanaRicanRetro hits the nail on the head with this post. The whole notion of packages is a joke and as consumers we have a choice. Don't likethe poor quality sneakers that JB is forcing you to buy in twos - then don't buy it. Sadly as long as the sheep keep scooping up the trash, JB'll keepchurning it out.

Illegal? I hate the packages too, but nobody is MAKING you buy the package.


This is stupid IMO.
 
He's saying that he may have a case since most people only want the good colorways from each pack and not those crappy second pair. It's not that hardto understand what he's trying to say.
