Looking at the recap pics and story, people had a chance and the staff planned with good intentions. Was pretty much for their dedicated people that come in the store regularly or passer by's that stumbled upon them. I actually salute the Mercer crew for doing it this way. The way it should be, them doing that tweet was pointless though.

i don't know who they're lying to with those staged pics....but my homie was at Mercer when they opened and not one pair of foamposites was on the shelf or sold while he was there copping some kicks and clothes.

We all know that was set up.
Those are definitely employees or friends of employees that were told to come at a certain time, they displayed a pair then took it right back down.
They were randomly placed on the shelves as you can see, that %$+% ain't fooling me for a second.
Why would someone go there with a DSLR at opening and just happen to snap some professional shots of random dudes with trying on Galaxy Foams and walking out with bags.
Nike doesn't care about Mercer being shady being they own the store, they know they will always get business no matter what.

They did the tweet so they didn't get a mob at the store once the news got out.

After doing some research on this "random" restock at Mercer I personally believe that entire staff should be fired. Its a joke for that location to be Nike's top tier store in the city and it to be ran by corrupt employees.

That's a hard statement to make...truth is you and most would do EXACTLY the same...
Let's not get it twisted..dudes make $8 maybe $9 dollars an hour...it's the prestige and sneaker flipping money that drives cats to work there...it ain't a career move...im sure maybe one or two hit the floor..the rest...straight out the back door to loyal shoppers...employees...friends of friends...and straight to FC...
Can't get mad at the hustle...just take a deep breath and move on...like it never even happened...

This was a true re-stock. There were 100 pairs. If you don't know who manages Mercer now, you don't know what you're talking about. Talking about people getting fired...you don't know a damn thing.

100 pairs and probably what, less than 5 went to regular people? I don't even like the Galaxies, only Foams I own are the OG royals. But what these employees are doing is EXTRA thirsty. I understand they don't make a lot of money but buying up 95% of the stock is not what's up. I feel bad for the people who actually like these and want to wear them. In the end, I can't really blame them. I put all of the blame in Nike, they create this hype. They know exactly what they're doing, where else do you see people lining up for days for a product?
