Jordan 1 OG High x Solefly

[spoonmanofthehour]

You're only looking at it from your point if view. If you were on the other side, you'd probably look at it differently. You have a product you can sell for $1000 but you're going to sell it for $190? Have you ever resold a pair of shoes for a profit? Same thing.

I understand what you're trying to say, but I will never agree with it. To me, it is dishonest and greedy, but I don't have the same views as a lot of people.

 

[dblplay1212]

It's disrespectful and greedy.

Have you ever resold a shoe for a profit? Was that disrespectful and greedy or was that "different"?

 

[drewswish]

Is that the guy that ends every post with PO? It's still a legit question as he's not local to Miami.

yup po2345 , i'm a state above FL and i know their reputation

But I’m not a store getting it from the manufacturer at wholesale price.
It’s gonna be a hard time when your store stops getting limited sneakers and u have no good customer base and the other 85% of stock in the store is just sitting cause no one wants to support the shop

I'm not in the shoe business and I don't mislead people by backdooring. If I had a shop like Solefly, I would sell to customers and not backdoor for more money.

It's easy to say that when you're not in a spot to triple your revenue.

Not to mention these stores have to eat all kinds of bull**** pairs from Nike. They don't have a choice, they have to order all that stuff that sits. Half of the stores would be out of business if they didn't supplement their income with backdooring pairs. I hate that it happens as much as anyone but I can say that I understand why it happens.

If backdooring limited pairs is what keeps a shop’s lights on then that shop isn’t going to be lasting very long

It doesn't matter. You sold them for market value, not retail. You were disrespectful and greedy by your standards.

Exactly. I would build a good customer base and be honorable. Not some shady owner. Anyway, it doesn't matter. These weren't even on my radar so I don't even care. Solefly has had some of the worst collabs anyway.

You clear know nothing about how shops work so there's no point in continuing this.

They taking their time tonight huh. Hopefully they are checking for multiples

Ok, fair enough.

Yeah let me not build good customer relations/reputation for my RETAIL store and try to make a little extra money on a big hype sneaker that my store gets like once every 5 months........I don’t need customers supporting my small business

There's something call Better Business Bureau......that **** matters big time. Reason why Nike cut them off on big releases.....accreditation

lol BBB dont care about how they sell their sneakers. If we're being honest, Nike doesnt either. We like to think they do but they really dont. Im not going to throw dirt but one store that has a lot of stores will openly sell pairs for $40-50 early when it's a mid hype release. Not the employee making a few bucks, they key it right into the register bc Nike doesnt care. The receipt shows the backdoor fee lol.

 

[duba169]

solefly figuring out final stock count after BD rn lol

 

[AL Andretti]

FYI they do BD pairs, that’s why they don’t get tier 0 NIKE products. In fact the reason they’re still getting Jordan collabs is because MJ is one of the owner’s brother-in-law

It all make sense now

 

[dinyc3st]

Explain Blends then?

 

[dblplay1212]

Was there ever any proof? And even if that was true, that's one. Every boutique does it to some extent so one doesnt mean much.

 

[Leetroy Jenkins]

dblplay1212 with the wokeness

Kids need to stop being so naive.

Literally every store (that’s 100%) BDs. It’s as common as a GR going on sale - when you actually know how sneaker boutiques work, we’ll talk. Open your eyes.

 

[po2345]

Is this just some random dude that's 1300 miles away from the store?

I do not need to be anywhere to know what's going on. They notoriously engage in these practices & there are tons of examples.
I'm just trying to share some FACTS about the situation after I read about what happened & I only speak the truth with 100% accuracy.
They have been selling pairs for $800-$1500 already.

It doesn't bother me what they do with their inventory, but at the same time, I'll share information as I see fit so they are not giving off a false impression to others they are conducting a fair raffle with 100% of the inventory they were allocated.

Also, like dinyc3st said, one of the owners is MJ's brother in law. There will be no repercussions for anything they do & its why they do it.

PO

Speaks volumes about that trash boutique. Glad it's in Miami.

unless they're still organizing sizes or JB cut art basel stock down by a lot, this might be too blatant . with how the raffle crashed then ended idk, last year JB supplied PAIRS
