Anonfag works at Nordstrom’s Seattle. 9:30 this morning (as in store is fucking empty just after open to customers) I saw two women buy multiple bags of men’s Nike trainers. I’d say four full size Nordstrom bags of Nike boxes EACH.
On and off been at Nordstrom’s six years, all in men’s clothing / footwear - never seen anything like it.
I think there’s some fuckery afoot. (Pardon my hilarious pun).
Check the price of the shoes online
Some folks hustle by buying shoes at a place like Ross and then posting to eBay. I don’t shop at Nordstrom so i don’t know what their markup is, but it seems reasonable
sneakerfreaks, sure. But these women looked like smartly dressed office workers.
Would a Jewish-owned apparel company experiencing a bout of terrible PR do something as sneaky as buy back their own inventory from retailers to keep them buying product, thus ensuring their stock price doesn't drop? Naw. They'd never do that. That would be dishonest.
Nordstrom charges a buttload for shit, but admittedly has sales sometimes.
Companies do this before a recall as well…

Probably scalpers expecting a short-term shortage in supply.
People do this and resell them on ebay to retards who don't know any better or do not live near a place they can get them locally.
We see this every year with the next hot Christmas toy or when something like a hyped videogame console comes out. Retail is $199 but people online pay $1000 just to be the 1st to own one.
Sending humans out to every store to pay retail for their on product makes no sense and is very inefficient. They would also be spending markup to some store owner.
If they wanted to dump product they could have just made a few shell wholesellers who order 500,000 shoes. Then their cost would be zero and they could move them by the truckload at once. Would look just like a normal transaction to a distributor.
Or buy them on stolen credit cards. Then sell them for cash at the local ghetto fleamarket.
