The DTL Gods favored me -- brought in the 10/10 class with a combined 70 game score (29/21/20) +14/0 with a weird 6/6/2 split. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 09:17 6
- Congrats - by game score that's a stellar class, I bet you get some love from the 768. We really needed to land Jacob Wilkins - rollo Sep 14, 09:43 1

- That article is a marathon. Fortunately, there’s an audio version. Nike used to be 70% of Foot Locker’s sales! Now they have none. - Mop🧹 Sep 14, 07:15 13
  - Maybe Nike is just not the brand for you. With my uncommon size, I figured out what feels good based on brand. Now I just buy online with confidence. -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 08:14 2
    - I've bought some shoes online. Always Converse (which is a Nike brand). But if I need sneakers or hiking shoes, I'll go to Kohls or Big 5. - Mop🧹 Sep 14, 09:48 1
      - Since ordinary folks don't have time to be up to date on which companies own which, I'd be careful about assuming all Nike and all Converse are molded - con_carne Sep 14, 10:49
  - That's what I got out of it. They abandoned most retailers. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Sep 14, 08:10 1
    - That's exactly what they did and it allowed that shelf space to be taken by other brands which boosted their sales. It was a foolish move. -- nm - Krusty Sep 14, 08:21

    - I admittedly have a difficult relationship with shoe stores. Don't think I've bought from one in at least 8 years. -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 08:00 3
      - With the size of your feet I'm sure it's difficult to walk into a store and buy sneakers or shoes. -- nm - Krusty Sep 14, 08:05 2

    - And they sell a massive amount of clothing to go with those sneakers. -- nm - Krusty Sep 14, 06:55
