The Dark Side: When Official Stores Become Resellers »
In their official press release Nike announced the Championship/MVP pack to his stores is limited quantities across North America and China. So far it’s only Miami that we know about and nobody in China is bragging either so I assume they didn’t drop there yet. As for Miami the numbers were House of Hoops – 36 (campout), Shoe Gallery – 12 (raffle), UNKNWN – 12 (raffle). Apparently LeBron James’ own store not only didn’t release all pairs to paying customers, but they also charged $600 instead of $450. As if regular re-sellers weren’t bad enough UNKNWN is now one too. Most of the 60 released pairs ended up on eBay and Craigslist anyway. Real fans can get them for $1-3k now. Personally, I still hope for a normal release, because I refuse to believe that Nike played us this way. There’s no way!
