NIKE DITCHES EXOTIC LEATHER

Nike is ditching one of its commonly used leathers.
Don’t worry, the buttery leather, tumbled leather, smooth leather, and patent leather are all safe.
So which leather is getting dropped? This is going to sound strange but bear with me.
Here’s why:
Nike has announced it is no longer producing shoes that are made of kangaroo leather. You read that right…
Nike has used kangaroo leather in select shoes and soccer boots for years due to the flexibility and durability of the material.
Not anymore. In 2021 Nike has cut ties with its kangaroo leather supplier. And at the start of 2023, production with the material stopped.
Why did Nike stop?

Nike made this change after pressure from animal activists, Oregon’s new laws, and Puma’s announcement to ditch the material.
Moving forward Nike will be using new and borrowed synthetic materials from other product lines.
Who knew Nike was using kangaroo leather 😭

WHERE ARE THE BIG RED BOOTS NOW?

Here’s how the average sneaker trend works.
A sneaker pops up, stays on every sneaker page and website, starts getting played out after a few months, then everyone moves on to the next.
If you take that process and then speed it up as quickly as possible, you’ll have a better picture of what happened to MSCHF’s Big Red Boot.
Check this out:

The sneaker retailed for $350. It spiked to $1,200+ after the release (1 month ago). And now it’s sitting around $500-$700.
Resellers are about to get burnt. Here’s why…
Everyone who ordered intending to cash in on the hype will not have the boots until next month.
By then, the hype will be fully gone, people will rush to sell, and the value will be driven into the mud.
My bet is anyone who copped in hopes of getting $1,000+ profits isn’t going to be too happy.
