On September 6, Nike Memphis was burglarized which resulted in $800,000 worth of sneakers and clothes, per the Memphis Police Department.
From Twitter to OfferUp, a plethora of unreleased Air Jordan retros (specifically Fall and Holiday) flooded the internet.
Third-party resell platform StockX froze activity at some of the colorways in question — such as the Air Jordan 11 “Cherry,” and the Air Jordan 6 “Chrome,” among others.
