Nike has recently updated their policy for retailers located in North America on how they are allowed to release anticipated sneakers. This new change was brought "to ensure a consistent approach to marketing, distribution, and sale of launch product across marketplace partner channels..."
Some key points of this new change:
1) "High Heat" sneakers should be released via drawings. FCFS is only allowed if they can't host a raffle.
2) Stores are not allowed to use launch products as prizes
3) Stores are not allowed to sell to resellers
4) Stores need bot protection for online releases
