I love Atmos and would rather they stay independent. I don't like all this consolidation. (sneakernews.com)

Responses:

Smart move and good pivot by Footlocker. Being the place at the mall where you get sneakers doesn't work if there's no malls. -- nm - Mop Aug 2, 07:45 8
- They dropped a $100 million last year on an investment into Goat which is an app/site for reselling sneakers and clothing. - Krusty Aug 2, 07:54
- There are plenty of foot lockers outside malls nowadays aren't there? -- nm - ty97 Aug 2, 07:45 6
  - Closest near me is in a regular mall, next two are in strip malls, two further than that are urban storefronts. -- nm - znufrii Aug 2, 09:06
  - Maybe in large urban areas that have never had malls in the first place. -- nm - Mop Aug 2, 08:57 1
    - Are you including strip malls in this or just indoor malls? -- nm - ty97 Aug 2, 08:58
  - None around here that I know of. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:04
  - The 3 closest to me are in malls. -- nm - zunk xometimes Aug 2, 08:03
  - Yup. Though most sales for hyped sneakers are online only as that avoids the fights and riots that come with some sneaker releases. - Krusty Aug 2, 07:50
I prefer lowercaseism -- nm - ty97 Aug 2, 07:43
