Sneaker Stores Must Be STOPPED...

These retail Sneaker Stores Must Be STOPPED... its getting out of hand 😂
The requirements to get shoes is WILD, who would of thought it would come to this madness. Today i'm talking about my experience getting the Kobe reverse grinch and not getting a box on top of other stores making customers destroy the boxes and wear dresses LOL

    Technically before you stomp the box I’m sure you would have to pay first so I’d grab it and go. They can’t stop me. I payed for it already.

    I’m an OG OG since 88 😂 an to tell you the truth we never really had to jump threw theses hoops back in the day.🤷‍♂️ Most people and parents didn’t have the $$ so they were available 🤷‍♂️. What drives me crazy is these stores strategically placing these super limited sneakers 👟 in the area’s with the highest resellers 🤦‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️🫡👍🏼✌🏼

    I don’t think they are doing that it’s just the resellers have hit a all time high now an we are in greedy times so every wannabe entrepreneur is trying to be a reseller..an Nike out a statement out months ago saying they are going to help slow down the high resellers

    @@wildboy6718 Have you ever seen Footlocker’s FLX map for stores holding reservations ? 🤔 I’m in the tri state area NY ,NJ , CT we have over 120 Footlockes spread out between all 3 states. Using Manhattan Footlocker Times Square store for a GR release you have stores in a hundred and 20 miles in circumference to put reservation in. That last Kobe’s release out of a 120 FOOTLOCKER’s in the tri state area there was 12 stores Total 😳😳😳 and all of them with in a 15 mile radius of the Time square Footlocker 🤨 I’m sorry but the majority of all the releases this year are strategically placed for resellers to have the greatest advantage. Same goes for Champs, JD , FL , Snipes all of them. 🤷‍♂️ And that’s not hyperbole that’s a FACT These store are fully aware of how to create HYPE. 🤷‍♂️✌🏼

    Bruh! I almost commented on the last video but didn’t.. this time, I had to after 1:12 😂 because you’re in your bag now! I know that injury hurt during a time you were picking your game up, because even with your rehab, had to take a step back/chill but you never missed a step in the game.. Anyway, it’s good to see you doing your thing again and to think.. been doing this for over a decade. Crazy when we’re now the ones talking about “back in the day” which is real life not a long time ago. The run it tag will always be a classic outro‼️

    You should pursue acting, better than quite a few out there now 😂 I never buy sneakers in store unless I'm downtown and go to Niketown in Portland but rare or if I win a raffle on SNKRS to pick up at Nike. I've been buying J's since 86 and I do remember those days, not really much hype, no lines, walk in and buy a pair or 2 if you could afford it at $100 a pop. I wanted a pair and my Mom said "if you want them Jordan's you better get a job!" So I did! Wish I had them pairs now!

    So, in my opinion, if a store destroys the box, the shoes should be discounted. But also, in what world do they think that's going to fight the resale market? Yes, people like me prefer to have the box, but usually just for storage purposes; it's rare that I display a box... only example I have right now is the box from my 2016 Space Jam 11s.
