Nike puts an end to the sale of new products at night

Nike asks to stop night sales from its largest trading partners, due to complications.

According to a company memo reviewed by the paper, the world's largest sportswear maker told sporting-good stores that they will not be allowed to pre-sell or take reservations for new shoes.

The retailers, which include Foot Locker Inc and Dick's Sporting Goods Inc, will also have to give up midnight releases of shoes that had prompted customers to camp outside and stampede stores, the paper reported.

“Retailers should assess what measures are necessary to secure the store and ensure the safety of personnel and consumers,” the Nike memo said, according to the Journal.  (Világgazdaság Online)
