Such a great read per usual. One hill I’ll die on is that things will keep happening like the train robbery until more people can get these shoes at an accessible price. And the easiest way to do that is to solve the sneaker bot problem. We see it all the time on Ticketmaster for concerts and they refuse to actually put money and resources towards it. The demand/resale market will still be there and you’ll alway have bad actors combined with hard to get limited releases, but this is coming from a build up of people who know they’ll never actually have a chance.
100 percent agree! I also think that, while this sort of story is ultimately a small hit to a brand like Nike, they love these sorts of headlines.
Shows you exactly how much people covet their sneakers — they're willing to steal them from moving trains to get pairs and resell them. Builds the hype up even more, which feeds that toxic system you're talking about.

Thank you my guy! Great read as always!!
Appreciate you my G!
Thank you sir!!
On another note, in the Luka ad, I've been thing to ID which Jordan 1s he's wearing! Any thoughts?
Kind of hard to spot. They've got the Jumpman Air tag on them, so it might be a pair of mids. We need a wider shot!
I think I found them! https://www.nike.com/t/air-jordan-1-mid-se-mens-shoes-Zn07hL/HV5177-010
