There's no such thing as supply chain issues when it comes to Nike. They can make a trillion of these if they wanted to. They have the facilities to do it. Look at how abundant the Air Force 1s are. The reason it's rare has nothing to do with supply chain, but rather to give their products a more exclusive feel.

Thanks for mentioning this issue cause it needs to be known. I got my hand severely injured 2 years ago so it's difficult to tie my shoes. It's embarrassing and sucks to ask people to help tie your shoes especially if your a grown adult. I was waiting for these to come out and yeah basically can't get a pair unless I pay $450+ that's messed up. Nike supposedly was gonna release more April 30th, never happened.

Every single press release NIKE did for this shoe was about it being a GR release, it was never ment for only disabled people. There are other Flyease shoes which are actually even easier for disabled people to put on. This shoe came about because the Croc trend is picking up and Nike wants to cash in on that.

Vin looked so uncomfortable at the end

If Nike really cared and wanted these as “accessible” then I don’t think they should’ve gone the traditional route for releasing them and did something like Vin said and have doctors recommendation or should’ve tried to to partner with some sort of health/medical distribution

Accessibility at a price no one or only a few can afford. Great!

It's not artificial inflation, ANY NEW SNEAKER CONCEPT HAS TO BE A LIMITED RELEASE. Companies would go broke otherwise. And the price has to be high initially because early adopters pay for R&D.

Finally someone pushing the message about the issue with Nike's shoes mainstream. You can't buy any decent shoes at the moment due to nike limiting the amount of the shoes. Its a joke and could probably have a case in court.

@paulwright6044

On what basis could you sue? You can't force a shoe company to make a certain type of shoe for you. Nike doesn't even end up making any extra money on these limited runs and their markups, as it is these resellers that are gouging customers (and only then because they have willing participants who will pay these asking prices). This is why I think Nike should put more out; they are leaving money on the table for scalpers to take.

There was an RSVP back on February to get them on may

Pretty cool. I remember when I got snow boots with BOA. I hated tying laces with cold fingers

Now it's on sale in our country. I badly wanted these pair because I'm a nurse in a hospital. My only concern with this is about its durability overtime.

I saw an ad here on KZread of a guy that said he invented this type of shoe already. I think I saw it about 2 months ago.

If you can’t buy these, then buy some Kizik shoes. Just as easy to put on and take off, but they don’t look stupid.

They should have partnered with medical supplies stores so that these could only be gotten via a prescription. Additionally, could be covered (or partially) by their insurance provider. Everyone from nike to insurance companies could have not only gotten the bag, but could've also delivered to their target market.

You don’t have to make people get doctor’s notes This shoe would fly off the shelves if they sold it for normal price…

I agree. While I haven’t specifically designed shoes I have designed clothing & accessories so I can tell you the markup on most of these items is INSANE. I bought these shoes cost more than $7 to make.

I actually got these but nowhere in the ads that I saw were directing these towards people who have a disability. And just for saving it as a favorite on the Nike app I was actually allowed to purchase my pair 3 days earlier. I can say they’re awesome and I’m sorry that people are having a hard time getting them that need them I also feel like from a top down point of view they look like wide swim shoes. However side profile is great.

Accessibility was the first thing that came to mind! My mom can not tie shoe laces and has trouble even putting on socks. This is great! I was like They need to make a 80 version eventually for elderly. Sadly they will likely be the last ones to get a hold of a pair they can afford lol. :/ so sad

Hope these end up becoming more accessible, although Roshes are like $70.....

Yea..... I’ve gotten only pissed about all the sign ups, notifications, communications with Nike since February up till April 30th as I got insanely snubbed of at all being able to buy them. I even sectioned out more than enough money to make sure I could cop these for months and I was also going to get a pair for my disabled friend too.

I like that idea regarding giving discounts to people who really need them.

...this better not be one of those "i forgot I said that in the podcast" type teases Lew. I need to see Lew 2 try those puppies on!

Vin coming with the truth, half price it for people with disabilities Nike. 👏👍 These would be good for someone like my dad and a lot of his friends who are older now.

Having a disability, I agree with what was said, it would be good to have them discounted if you show you have a disability. I would add that they should sell these specific pairs to accessibility stores so that a certain supply is directed to store's who will strictly vet the customers.

Nike also does this with all their interesting shoes they did a new release of acg and the space hippie line which were both dope and unique shoes that they only sold for a single drop

Is it that difficult for Nike to prevent more than one pair being shipped per address?

A lot of us in the sneaker reselling community abstained from buying these for this reason. It doesn't make any sense at all to make a shoe specifically designed to be accessible for disadvantaged people, then hide them behind limited stock.

I'm not trying to take away anybody's opportunity to both get something that improves quality of life *and* get something in trend, but if you have physical challenges that could benefit from shoes like these, then you wanna look up "hands-free" shoes, because there are alternatives out there like Kiziks.

You want stop sneaker resellers, Nike just has to say there be suing people for selling there items for over retail and all the other manufacturers of goods do the same.

Reminds me of the PlayStation 5 issues people using bots to snatch them up and reselling them for double the price

This shoes is a dream for Asians. I never wear shoes in the house and I need these

Ngl resellers need to be considerate considering this product was basically made for people that are in need they should know when to stop this ain't no PS5.

Nike knows what's going on. Look at any nike shoe. You can't even find basic nike shoes on their website because dunks sell for 300+ rather than 120

Shoes never even went on sale on the app

All it takes. It’s Nike website two pair limit per customer. Algorithm reads your address your email address your credit card that you use your name just to make sure the two pair rule applies the only way you get more if you’re actually work for a hospital or a high school or college

Make more ??

i really tried hard to buy these shoes as ive been in a wheelchair for over 7 years and it literally 15 minutes trying to put my own shoes on !!

5 months in, the rubber strap is holding up well, and its my daily use sneaker.

Shoes: “Overpriced” Nike: “Always has been...”

$450???? Fvck no!!!

Nike could not have foreseen the unscrupulous resellers would make it hard for the target demographic to get these shoes. Since this new design is getting publicity and being talked about I guarantee you that Nike will make more & figure out how to make them available to the people that will benefit from them most. I work in the fashion industry (which includes shoes, handbags, hats etc.) and new designs are often made in much smaller runs. Reasons for this: • Some stores may not be interested in a new product because they don’t want to order something that won’t sell or something they don’t think fits their target customer. • Stores have limited shelf space and can only market so many items at a time. Adding something new often needs means removing something else. • The first time you manufacture a new product it’s always a bit of a test. You will most likely make some changes in later production runs. You don’t want to make a lot something that is still for all intents not finalized and may be slightly inferior to later versions.

Nike released them to random Nike members. Allowed those picked to get 1 of each 3 colors.

Some people with cp and stuff can’t slip their foot in regular shoes, and this is perfect!

as someone who buy shoes to resell, the fact that people bought these to resell is actually sad. but Nike knew these shoes were going to sell out they were hyped ever since that gif came out. they should've had more "basic" colors ready to go and have made it something you could find on shelves at a shoe store.

hope this isnt limited supply

Elastic band, accidents, lawsuits.

Got these for my wife. She has trouble putting shoes on due to a condition she has. She loves them. They’ve really helped her.

It's either more stock, or make the shoe less attractive. It's sad to to even say that, but with the sneaker resell community, people judge a shoe and its resell value by the looks, even if it's a shoe model that's famous for high resell prices, a release of an attractive colourway in that shoe wouldn't resell higher than the retail price.

Nike should keep a stock that’s prescription only. So people with disabilities can easily access them. Sell them like usual in Stores and online buy hold some back that require a doctors note or something. It’s like someone buying up all the heart medication and reselling it at a premium

The price goes up because of demand, the only solution is to drive down demand by creating more supply. Besides, disabled people can be scalpers too, you don't think they'd buy a couple of pairs as soon as it's available?

waiting to see vin try these on

100% agree. If Nike really cared they’d release thousands of pairs and not care about the supply and demand dropping prices for their profit margins.

I bought a pair of these, but the Jordan 1’s. When I realized they were meant for disabled people I sent them back, but more because it seemed like bad luck to keep them.

To be hones, this shoes is more comfortable than my bed.
