they get some stuff. they got all of the NA Air Jordan 1s , but I got screwed over on the Royals there because they sold their FSR to people who paid double retail. really sad. and the lie they told was "we didn't get em. our shipment failed" even though the manager had a size 9 in hand. really pissed me off.
that was the only store [to my knowledge] here that got them.
I'm really surprised anyone in the city got anything. What other shoes are you looking for?
Just a quick comment, Nike sold off Cole Haan. The transfer went through this past week
Didn't know that maybe I can start back wearing them again. Good bye to those stupid air bubbles!
That was a deal between FootLocker Europe and JB. FTL wanted those to be an exclusive for them in Europe and it seems that JB granted that proposition
Doesn't this discredit your previous comments about Jordan Brand/Nike canceling accounts due to failures to upgrade locations and appearances!
How? Please explain.
Didn't you say that Nike granted their proposition? A proposition that undoubtedly took stock from other stores, due to the fact they they grant this agreement to allow the exclusive excess to the release. And you were replying to a post wheras the OP was stating that stock got taken or canceled from a smaller shop and sent to FTL. So you connect the dots as to how it relates to those few shops in South Jersey/Philly and remeber the post title says "more to come!"
You are talking about 2 totally separate situations, which I was as well. The situation in Europe is not tied into what this actual thread is about, I was just responding a comment someone else had shared and I added my opinion from what I've been told. This thread is about a few local spots in South Jersey/Philly area, neither one is in Europe.
I understand fully the point you were making but I was just speaking to the fact that Nike can/will impose it's will over it's merchandise, without regard for smaller businesses. The major retailers are sort in in a Wal-Mart type situation because of the amount of stock they move for Nike. I remember watching a special on Wal-Mart in which they reported that Wal-Mart basically told Huffy bike company how much they were going to pay per bike or they wouldn't buy any. Huffy in turn had to sell them at the price due to Wal-Mart being their biggest retail account. Wal-Mart was basically keeping them out the red.
Not coming for your neck. I just really enjoy your points of view and how well you defend them. Rarely ever get that on here, LOL. Plus I have seem the ugly side of big business and faced the struggles of small business.
MOB!
I hope you're wrong, too. I wonder what the penatly would be if a store front was deemed to be selling fakes???
