SNKRS PASS FAIL

Nike dropped the ball yesterday. They failed their first SNKRS pass.

If you live in a big city, you know what an SNKRS pass is. For the rest of us here is a quick reminder of how it works:

At a set time first come first serve reservations for a sneaker open
A limited amount of people (in big cities) then reserve the sneaker for in-store pickup

It’s supposed to be a quick launch.

But during yesterday’s SNKRS pass, the app barely worked (for most people). Here’s what happened:

When the event went live at 5:15 PM EST, instead of a “reservation” button appearing, a non-functional button for SNKRS Pass FAQ popped up.

And the worst part about it…

It was a pass for best sneaker drop this month. The Air Jordan 3 White Cement Reimagined.

Needless to say, a whole lot of people missed their chance to cop.

If you were one of those folks, good luck on SNKRS today. Let’s hope today’s launch works fine.

STOCKX’S CFO LEAVES

StockX is getting a new CFO.

Although it’s unclear why John Kaelle (StockX’s CFO) is leaving, his departure follows multiple rounds of layoffs at the company.

Here’s an internal email about the situation:

What does this mean? I’m not sure. I’m just the sneaker information/ news guy.

But based on some quick googles, when a CFO (aka the guy that handles all the money stuff) leaves a company it’s (supposedly) never a great sign.
