Sorry for the wait, but WWD Wednesday is here just a day late!
This week let's talk about the report covering the new release of the Supreme x Nike Air Foamposite collaboration. There were so many fashion fans lining up on the street outside of the Lafayette Street Supreme Boutique (over 800!) - that the NYPD had to shut it down!
Here are the shoes everyone was waiting for:
Supreme issued a statement via its instagram that the police involvement was a result of a concern for public safety and the shoes will now be sold online rather than in-store.
Comments on the incident seemed to make it out to be a positive thing! Citing that it only shows the popularity of today's sneaker market and the related resell market associated with it.
What do you think of the great sneaker shutdown?
