@SneakerCon Having shoes worth less than $100 in a $300 mystery box is terrible business

@SneakerCon Even she knew they doing people dirty

@SneakerCon They got his ass BAD!

@SneakerCon It’s one thing for an adult to go in and buy and not get a great shoe (still not a fan of it) but taking advantage of kids is what really bothers me.

@SneakerCon 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 they should make that 🤡 return all those kids their money back

@SneakerCon they put all general releases in these boxes, that dunk high desert camo is still available on Nike right now for retail. they knew exactly how they wanted to get rid of their brick inventory.

@SneakerCon Bottom line there should atleast a 300 dollar shoe in there. The mystery is what shoe.

@SneakerCon Quite simply, the guy running these boxes said 4 the buyers “it’s a gamble”. SneakerCon has a flat out rule against gambling. The boxes shouldn’t be allowed

@SneakerCon sneakercon branded mystery boxes coming soon
