I agree with the preorders being the way to fix things that were seeing, the only issue with the preorder would be if someone didn't order within that 24 hours window and wants them down the line they will pay resell to get them from someone and then the fakes would still be worth making from those companies. Also resellers will get their mom, cousin, sister, uncle, and grandpa to buy pairs so they can get like 5-10 pairs haha
Harrison, not sure u read this but, why cant we as a collective sneaker culture, come together and create a petition to nike, Jordan etc.. If utubers can come together on their pages and have them sign a petition to Nike ceo, espically right now with the Vice President son gate, and really combat resellers. This is 2 birds with one stone ? U r GOAT
The problem with preorders is that people would have to wait for weeks just before the preordered sneakers ship, so in that sense is it really worth it given how people want things instantly?
@@CarlosGutierrez-ox7gt Most definitely. I've waited half a year for some action figures ill wait even more for a pair of shoes that I would rock till beat.
@@CarlosGutierrez-ox7gt buyers don't have to pre-order if they don't want to, they would be able to wait until the official release date to buy. Those that want to pre-order in advance would just have a guaranteed pair(s).
Qias should've said "most people" not all have to boycott. Just enough so that their sneakers are sitting but that won't happen. Nike has the majority of the market
Or what if people just stopped buying shoes after they sellout. They should stop buying sneakers for resell. Lowball all of the resellers and just let those shoes “sit” on the resellers shelves.
She didnt step down, because her son resold sneakers. She stepped down because her son used his moms credit card to fund his reselling business. Which created a conflict of interest.
Qias. I'm a guy who doesn't care at all about hype and collabs and all that junk. Like you said, I buy a shoe because I like the shoe and I want to, you know, actually wear it. It's extremely annoying for me (and obviously everyone else) that I can't even buy a shoe that I legit like. For example, I love the color blue and when I first saw pictures of the University Blue 1s last year, i instantly knew I wanted them. Well guess what: I used 5 different nike snkrs accounts and asked my friends for help and none of us hit. Basically what i'm trying to say is that this is the greatest idea you have ever come up with. Thank you
Honestly I love the boycotting idea but there’s no way people would do that from sneaker store owners to resellers that would take that opportunity to just buy all the sneakers they can and put it in their store and resell all of the pair they could grab because of the boycott
I absolutely agreed with Qias on the pre order idea because someone who has recently fell back in love with sneakers it really has been impossible to get anything I want and I hate watching my dream shoes become more and more unattainable everyday
@@onniparviainen3317 nah mate you didn’t understand what I said. She had already disclosed that information that her sons business was a reseller way before this. She stepped down because the payment made in her name.
I really like how one of the biggest voices in the sneaker game is talking about what needs to be addressed if Nike is going to hear us we need more people doing this 💯💯🔥
Honestly I like the pre order idea. But maybe not to kill the hype you know have the limited shoes that come out you have to get them through pre order, but you still have to show your ID prove it’s you buying the shoe so that people can’t cop hundreds of pairs to resell. Still the hype people still will wanna cop better chance at copping. And anyone that puts in for multiple pairs like more than 2 or 3 is automatically not allowed to enter for that pre order. Idk what’s everyone else’s thoughts on that
I see the vision. But when you’re showing your sneakers off you never see anyone say “oh ya everyone has these” it’s always “you don’t have these” just how it is and will be. You want what you can’t have.
I actually agree with the preorder concept but there should be a mix of pre order and first come first serve like back in the day camp outs. That way the people who really wanted the shoes have a fair way to get them and resellers at least deserve them for waiting rather than setting up bots and scooping 25 pairs
The way that the UNC 1s came out is so crazy. The show got pushed back, then nike released a limited amount, and now footnotes are getting them on the 24th. They are just playing with us at this point.
I'm a sneaker head not a reseller and it really sucks not being able to get shoes on release. But I would NEVER want pre-orders to be a thing I love the hype I love the thrill of a chase and the feeling you get when you do hit on a pair of sneakers and I would never want to loose that. If that means not being able to get every single pair that comes out then so be it. Killing the hype would kill the sneaker game that is the last thing I myself would want.
One of the biggest issues with the reselling community is that it mostly exist to gain profit and not for the culture. Reselling adds almost nothing new at all to the transaction and creates an unnecessary middle man and frustration for consumers. Other reselling communities like vintage t-shirts are different because there is curation in the shops that do it, people dedicate their time to sift through and find unique shirts, and it's not as simple as getting a bot and using stockx. It's much more rare and harder to find shirts or find a particular shirt than it is to get every new drop of a sneaker. The one thing that reselling adds is the ability for customers to buy any shoe whenever you want from wherever you are and have it delivered. That shouldn't even have to be the case many times if people didn't use bots and stock up just to resell and make profit.
As a Nike employee, I can say, we are not allowed to sell anything Nike we have. Rather we got it before we worked there or after. If it’s Nike, it cannot be resold. Idk if he was on his moms employee discount list, but if he was, then that would’ve got her in trouble since he was reselling.
Finally someone put my idea to the public. Preorders will kill all resellers, fake factories, stocx etc and finally sneaker game will be recovering. Good work, Qias. Hope this video will blow minds of Nike and Adidas
The Nike VP was scummy as hell, but sadly Nike isn’t gonna do shit cuz ppl will still buy their products and therefore Nike won’t feel the need to do anything. Tbh Nike don’t give a shit about the public
I agree that pre orders would be amazing but at the same time, the value of the shoes and so many business will go down. The hype is really what makes nike a great brand, but it also helps small businesses that’s resell. It would be amazing to always get the shoes you want for retail but at the same time it’s more better when you actually find it or actually cop. The sneakers community would not be the same, why have a big collection to show off when it’s just a general release. No hype, no community
If there was a shoe that was boycotted for Nike to change, that shoe would have a legacy of its own. If it’s any Jordan, it would give it more value than it already has bc it would represent a movement in a way. Years after the shoe‘s release it would have a high value for those who have them.
The first pair to pre-order should be the Kobe 6 Grinch because Marisa Bryant wants everyone to have it. So, everyone can get it, and Marisa Bryant’s wish can come true.
Does anyone actually believe this where he is sponsored by bots and anything he wants he will get it backdoor? Not hating if you can get it then you should get it but dont act like you’re not part of the problem
Bruh having preorders would be one of the worse choice nike or jb could ever make. They dont care about you or resellers. They love that they sell out every release. That shit is so hypocritical about how you dont care about the hype because mopst of your videos and your collection is built on hype. I mean for example why did you trade your Oregon 5s, because they werent gonna be limited or hype anymore. That preorder shit would ruin shoes no capppppppppp
9:24 I think it will and it won’t kill the hype of a shoe. In the short term it will because you will see everyone wearing the shoe. Long term it will still be limited and Nike could choose to rerelease the preorder 7/8/10 years later.
He is for real talking fact. Nike should make a change. Because it is hard for people to get Ws because of bots and stuff. I have never got a won the SNKRS app
Qeist is really ahead of the game bro he’s the only sneakerhead I can respect it’s sad because there’s always going to be that 1 person but oh well I guess we’re gonna have to threw this shit
If nike doesnt make money out of a few limited pairs than why are they doing it. its only the resellers that make money therefore they could make even more for more profit
Brandon, you are hating the players... If the content creators are the issue, then we the viewers, are even more "the problem". They, the content creators/ influencers, literally do not work unless we watch. If we do not subscribe, comment, and like videos they do not earn a bag.

A boycott of Nike or any major brand will not work because of the massive level of global cooperation it would take to create any really noticeable impact even just one time... However, Qias is not wrong in his point, and that we are the problem, and the solution. Nike will only change if we change them by changing how we respond to them. If content creators, influencers, and videographer hype beasts, are to be blamed for their contributions into sneaker culture, then we are also to blame for subscribing to them, to SNKRs app., for buying backdoor shoes, for reselling multitudes of shoes ourselves...

The game is what we the sneaker heads have allowed it to become, and what we have actively, or passively contributed to our culture. I request that we retract our fingers from each others faces, and use them to fire multitudes of letters to Nike requesting that they please work on revamping their strategy's so many more of us can finally take a W once in a while. This is just me contributing my two cents.
Qias never asked you to watch him you chose to he’s been doing it for years and years and he is making videos about his passion there’s no issue with that people like to watch him and that’s why he’s still doing it if u don’t like it then don’t watch you guys don’t say why there the problem you just say they are he literally wants to create preorders so real people who want it can wear it

Nike is smart, they would release some hyped up shoes for the next 2 weeks and everyone would be back
Someone would slide in and cop every available pair 😂😂😂

Was looking for this comment

Everyone: hmm qias on to something bout the pre orders
Nike: nah release the 1s on Snkrs make them limited too so people break necks for a pair
this shit is hard rn like ive taken 6 Ls in three weeks

Your right, there used to be a time when you could go a month later and still find your size for sale and not worry about it being sold out

What up if people rock LA hat sign upside down? I’m so confuse
We can’t even get the snkrs app in Toronto let alone Canada so we taking L’s Automatically
Pre-orders will kill the resell bs, hype and Ls. 👏🏼
Why not put this on the qrewkicks Chanel?
You think Nike wants to deal with where my shoes or when are my shoes being sent out emails?

can you do a video on your new setup and studio?
I really love this new Qrewkicks & Coffee series. I agree with you preorder is the future to save the sneaker community 🔥

can u release Qrew kicks and coffee on Sunday Evening so people in europe can watch it on Monday morning

Nike does not care about it at all, because the total profit of selling sneaker to bot or customer is the same in the end.

I mean out of everything that's been proposed so far to stop the bots, this is the best option...
I would say an hour pre order because if you really want it you will be able to get em in a hour and it will keep the hype
Preach qias!!
People need to stop resellers in some way because I just want to collect and wear the shoes look fresh.
Pre-orders would kill the hype.. a large part of what people like about shoes is how difficult they are to get.
AKA Money over the customers
Nice Vid bro!
And the new intro is fire!
Yo going into a Nike store for a preorder would be dope would have to be more than a day in case you work during the release
She probably opened the draw early for him so his bots can cook
imagine 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Preorders would be the wave. If the major brands could get on board with this it would be a game changer.
YES on the pre-orders! Now for the brands to get on board
