Yeah make them available for all! They should just do like Vin said and sell them 15% more expensive for everyone, then have them sell 50% off for those with disabilities
He’s right. It’s on Nike. Of course they knew it would help disabled people. They might have underestimated demand but they can fix the problem moving forward. Plus, opportunity to look good.
Let’s be honest. We all live and operate within a free market. If someone REALLY wants those shoes, they’ll do the work to get them early, or they’ll pay what they have to on the secondary market. Not being able to tie your shoes doesn’t mean you can’t operate a computer, and if they can’t operate a computer, they’re disabled enough to have someone to put their shoes on for them.
Might also be because he is uncomfortable about taking away a pair from the market for people that actually need it, as they imply in the end.. But I for sure was thinking that too haha
Thanks for mentioning this issue cause it needs to be known. I got my hand severely injured 2 years ago so it's difficult to tie my shoes. It's embarrassing and sucks to ask people to help tie your shoes especially if your a grown adult. I was waiting for these to come out and yeah basically can't get a pair unless I pay $450+ that's messed up. Nike supposedly was gonna release more April 30th, never happened. So it's a problem with Nike and these resellers both need to get their act together.
There's no such thing as supply chain issues when it comes to Nike. They can make a trillion of these if they wanted to. They have the facilities to do it. Look at how abundant the Air Force 1s are. The reason it's rare has nothing to do with supply chain, but rather to give their products a more exclusive feel.
Yes and no. Yes, cause they can ask other factories to produce and no because they would need to halt production on other models that might make more than the flyease
@@16soccerball if you think they need to "halt production on other models" as if their factories are working 24/7 all the time producing shoes, then you're delusional. Nike can make as many of these shoes as they wanted to. the only thing stopping them is to make them more exclusive, which builds up the brand. helping people with accessibility issues is NOT their main priority AT ALL
Air Force 1s are not abundant though, they are a hard cap each year. Go talk to shoe stores for example, they'll tell you they only get a set amount for the entire year.
Nike knew about the hypebeast culture long time ago and now it's affecting those who were meant to get these shoes. They look at the bottomline regardless of who suffers, Nike put these sneakers out in large numbers. 🤷🏾♂️
Every single press release NIKE did for this shoe was about it being a GR release, it was never ment for only disabled people. There are other Flyease shoes which are actually even easier for disabled people to put on. This shoe came about because the Croc trend is picking up and Nike wants to cash in on that.
It's not artificial inflation, ANY NEW SNEAKER CONCEPT HAS TO BE A LIMITED RELEASE. Companies would go broke otherwise. And the price has to be high initially because early adopters pay for R&D.
If Nike really cared and wanted these as “accessible” then I don’t think they should’ve gone the traditional route for releasing them and did something like Vin said and have doctors recommendation or should’ve tried to to partner with some sort of health/medical distribution
Absolutely not. There are at least 6 theoretical models of disability and only one of those is medical. Inclusive and universal design is not a medical concern. People are not disabled, it’s bad and exclusive design that disables them.
Or just release more of them and not make them limited. The reason resellers are buying them is because they’re scarce, but if you release more than they lose value to resellers and people who need them can get them
This is totally on nike, this is why i LOVE that chinese replica manufacturers are getting so good that their essentially making the same shoes nowadays for 1/4 the price, plus if their willing to backdoor 1000s of pairs to CEO's kids, fuck em
Finally someone pushing the message about the issue with Nike's shoes mainstream. You can't buy any decent shoes at the moment due to nike limiting the amount of the shoes. Its a joke and could probably have a case in court.
On what basis could you sue? You can't force a shoe company to make a certain type of shoe for you. Nike doesn't even end up making any extra money on these limited runs and their markups, as it is these resellers that are gouging customers (and only then because they have willing participants who will pay these asking prices). This is why I think Nike should put more out; they are leaving money on the table for scalpers to take.
@@paulwright6044 it’s not always that simple. People have always complained that they couldn’t get the sneakers they wanted. Then in 2018 Nike mass produced most of their retros and most of them sat on shelves for months and people complained that they didn’t feel special because everyone had them. There’s no amount of pairs Nike can produce to meet demand because it would just bring more bots and resellers into the market.
Ngl resellers need to be considerate considering this product was basically made for people that are in need they should know when to stop this ain't no PS5.
You want stop sneaker resellers, Nike just has to say there be suing people for selling there items for over retail and all the other manufacturers of goods do the same.
I agree. While I haven’t specifically designed shoes I have designed clothing & accessories so I can tell you the markup on most of these items is INSANE. I bought these shoes cost more than $7 to make.
Was anyone else bothered by Will not checking the price of the shoes in the section where it shows the sizes and it's lowest price LOL click buy or the "All" drop down 😅😂
I actually got these but nowhere in the ads that I saw were directing these towards people who have a disability. And just for saving it as a favorite on the Nike app I was actually allowed to purchase my pair 3 days earlier. I can say they’re awesome and I’m sorry that people are having a hard time getting them that need them I also feel like from a top down point of view they look like wide swim shoes. However side profile is great.
I'm 37 years old have had to deal with cerebral palsy my whole live. As I get older things get harder. I thought this was amazing but Nike didn't make this for me. They made this for money and exposure.
Accessibility was the first thing that came to mind! My mom can not tie shoe laces and has trouble even putting on socks. This is great! I was like They need to make a 80 version eventually for elderly. Sadly they will likely be the last ones to get a hold of a pair they can afford lol. :/ so sad
Hopefully Nike will respond by making more because I think these have a bigger market than they anticipated. Lots of people will benefit from a shoe that’s this easy to put on.
They should have partnered with medical supplies stores so that these could only be gotten via a prescription. Additionally, could be covered (or partially) by their insurance provider. Everyone from nike to insurance companies could have not only gotten the bag, but could've also delivered to their target market.
Well this was always a thing in the sneaker industry, if they make them too available the hype wouldn’t be as great and people wouldn’t buy them in my opinion. If the kicks are limited and they sell out people who missed out will want the next release
@@markjamesbih yeah I know, I never said they were. But the fact that there’s resellers that try to turn a profit off of anything is sad at this point. Especially with crazy markups
I have had my flyease for almost a year and half. They are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. They still fit snug. I work at a super market and I am on my feet 8 hours a day. They are so comfortable that I have not even thought about my feet I didn't realize until the other day a co-worker was complaining about how sore their feet are. The only bad part is trying to keep them clean.(all white)
#Nike !!!!!!!!!!!! Actually @2:34 ish HE is spot on correct! C’mon Nike!! Limit people’s purchase of your sneakers and apparel due to “scalpers” as we call them in the concert going community! Making money off of people for whom these shoes likely benefit the most are the ones whom don’t work 40+ hours a week, they’re living paycheck to paycheck. And that’s likely due to their medical conditions! Hey you who bought up a ton of these new “orthotic” shoes how about you donate them (you can handle that at tax time next year) 😉 Good Deeds come from Good Seeds Plant 🌱 Often Karma 🌀💓🌀
I have a rare muscle disease called congenital myasthenia that limits my movement, such as not walking as far because I get weak and tired. Sometimes it is hard to retie my shoe lace or even put on my shoe. Today September 27, 2022 I finally was able to order a pair because of everyone buying them
It’s so great that all these famous people get to unbox these shoes! I mean that’s what disabled people want right? They just want to see popular people wear them and not be able to buy them themselves. Not to mention the teens who are disabled and their families who can’t afford these shoes because we have to pay for things that non disabled kids never have to think about like wheelchair, meds, attorneys for IEP’s, modified clothing, doctors visits, specialty cab rides to and from doctor appts. We live 10 minutes from Nike and we still had to pay 120 dollars for our disabled son who goes to school in Beaverton!
Hypebeasts aren’t the problem, it’s resellers/scalpers, the same people who bought every Xbox, PlayStation and 3000 series GPU. It’s a community that has really taken advantage of the current supply chain problems and cannot be reasoned with.
The biggest fool is anyone who talks about this and brings them publicity. Nike DID NOT make the shoes for accessible people. It’s all marketing. They’re limited release!!!! Nike can stock a shoe if they want to but they don’t it’s a choice. As a marketer this is a 3 peak strategy, you have release hype, the accessible hype and the stock dilemma. Nike doesn’t give a shit if they did they would stock the shoe. Funniest part is they make StockX and resellers as the villain when Nike can just make more.
All you drongos criticising Nike in the comments, remember that these shoes didn't exist a month ago, so if Nike didn't invent them, then nobody would have a pair right now. You should be commending Nike for developing this product instead of crucifying them for not giving every disabled person a half-price pair.
Having a disability, I agree with what was said, it would be good to have them discounted if you show you have a disability. I would add that they should sell these specific pairs to accessibility stores so that a certain supply is directed to store's who will strictly vet the customers.
The truth is the internet screws up anything cool. Word spreads too rapidly and intensifies hype above what it should be. This not only goes for products but locations. Find a great location to hike or eat? I know! Blab about it on social media so an exponential amount of people find out about it and go! Surprised this theory isn’t more of a topic. Or perhaps I’m the only one annoyed by this.
Now it's on sale in our country. I badly wanted these pair because I'm a nurse in a hospital. My only concern with this is about its durability overtime.
Eh. It’s a shoe. People have been doing this with shoes for decades. It’s something new and even normal shoe people want them. Others want to make their profits. They’re capitalizing. It’s a little shady but there should be no controversy here.
Homeboy really wants those shoes with the weakest no no no you're not going to do that. In the back of his head he was like yes I definitely want those and didn't give too much more resistance than that and then you could tell he was kind of bummed when Lou said you can try them on and will give them to somebody that needs them. He was like if they want them. Hahaha what a loser dude just admit it and take the $400 shoes that you want someome else to pay for, but you also want to act like you ain't trying to be that guy
Yeah I stalked these shoes for months and then 30 days before they were to drop went MIA. Im totally disabled and wanted these badly. I dont feel entitled to getting them first or anything like some but I did want an explanation to why they took them off the app. I asked them and they told me to wait for big things to come. Nike can kiss my white butt. I wanted them but making them impossible to get unless I have to pay 300 bucks. Cant even know if they are even good
The price goes up because of demand, the only solution is to drive down demand by creating more supply. Besides, disabled people can be scalpers too, you don't think they'd buy a couple of pairs as soon as it's available?
Nike should keep a stock that’s prescription only. So people with disabilities can easily access them. Sell them like usual in Stores and online buy hold some back that require a doctors note or something. It’s like someone buying up all the heart medication and reselling it at a premium
They rather get money from scalpers I guess. Nike should over produce to cover costs and lower chances of scalpers being able to sell for a stupid premium
All it takes. It’s Nike website two pair limit per customer. Algorithm reads your address your email address your credit card that you use your name just to make sure the two pair rule applies the only way you get more if you’re actually work for a hospital or a high school or college
There is still a problem of putting your feet into the shoes, but in the FlyEase its like a slipper so you don't have to waste time putting them on (which takes the most of the time)
As a right-leg below knee amputee, this shoe launch was a spit in the face to the community they used to market this product to begin with. Pretty gross nike.
Vin coming with the truth, half price it for people with disabilities Nike. 👏👍 These would be good for someone like my dad and a lot of his friends who are older now.
It seems weird that Nike would make them limited, make accessible shoes and them make them inaccessible???
Money it will be worth more but they look like sh.it to me
@@elementary101Music first of all it’s a cool futuristic look and secondly its a very neat mechanism.
Yeah make them available for all! They should just do like Vin said and sell them 15% more expensive for everyone, then have them sell 50% off for those with disabilities

Honestly I like this more than the main channel
Your are not alone
The main channel completely lost its touch for me. No longer is it just unboxing neat products its more of what brands pay lew the most money
Me too.
Yeah it’s weird how it overnight changed into a shitshow from one of the best tech channels on UA-cam
Don’t forget me
Why does Vin look like he is being grilled by the FBI? He looks soooo guilty about something. Does he already have a pair? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly, especially when he was answering his shoe size seems suspicious 🤔🤔
fr I thought I sensed something. I was like somethin aint right with him
Might also be because he is uncomfortable about taking away a pair from the market for people that actually need it, as they imply in the end.. But I for sure was thinking that too haha

The self lacing ones also still take more effort to wear than these too. You still need to pull the self lacing ones over your feet.
There is still a problem of putting your feet into the shoes, but in the FlyEase its like a slipper so you don't have to waste time putting them on (which takes the most of the time)
As a right-leg below knee amputee, this shoe launch was a spit in the face to the community they used to market this product to begin with.
Pretty gross nike.
Vin coming with the truth, half price it for people with disabilities Nike. 👏👍
These would be good for someone like my dad and a lot of his friends who are older now.
All kids shoes should be this shoe. Also, yes, it would be perfect for my special needs child.
Hopefully they expand the line so they’re widely available.
Maybe not all kids as it's good to learn how to shoe a laces. But special needs kids would love them :)
That’s not true ! I got only one ticket on my Nike membership to get just one pair
The problem is not them just putting them out.... There's actually a supply issue ramping up on a global scale right now...
I got my pair recently on the second stock wich is fire got them crimson orange they are great 👍🏾 juggalos
Just sad man, let disabled people have it, they need it, everything is not business bro..... We got no humanity left
Aren't slip-on shoes common in North America?It basically does what these Nikes do.
I'm sorry but flippers that buy up all the product just to make a profit online are the problem and in addition the retailers that allow them.
wow 500 but ok if they are 350 maybe ok but 500 don't remember any shoes who was that much expensive
I HATE THE SNEAKER CULTURE
Reminds me of the PlayStation 5 issues people using bots to snatch them up and reselling them for double the price
Yo Lew , you were getting a call @2:35 from Monica. Why didn't you pick it up? 🤭
PS: Call alert on the Apple watch
How did you notice that
@@theartemis5687 I think it's the black background behind him that amplifies all the minute details 🤭
Damn…he’s busted
@@TokigaTorsten About what?
I hate scalpers! I hope they burn in hell! That’s awful that people that need them can’t because of greed.
if you want these shoes for very cheap, just cut your regular sneakers down the middle, then wrap them with some broccoli bands
People gonna flat tire you and steal your expensive ass shoes. At least they can't throw them on powerlines.
It’s time we do something about touting and reselling. Been the same problem with the PS5
if Nike made these sneakers for in store on the wall of a finish line no "hyperbeats" would want it and that's coming from a sneaker head
They look cheap comfy but cheap comfy tho I'll buy the 20 dollar rip off on wish
Nike needs to make these truly accessible to stop all this disgusting reselling. Shameful.
5 months in, the rubber strap is holding up well, and its my daily use sneaker.
I think in future they sell the shoes in two parts and you have to purchase it separately like Apple doing 😋
