As of the time of this writing, sneakerheads on reddit have said Nike has pulled the shoes from US SNKRS app, while unverified reports circulating online also claim retailers have been asked to hold the release until further notice.

Of course, you can imagine the case has sparked a lot of online conversation, with one commenter on our recent video writing, “hopefully they still release before this is settled, only 7 days so I can try cop and then sort this out lawyers” and another saying, “this just made this drop more exclusive. I see I’m a have to enter multiple raffles”. However, someone clearly wasn’t on Nike’s side, commenting “I hope 7-11 wins 😂 show Nike how it feels for once lmao”, so it seems like opinions are split.

Well, it’s basic human psychology, the uncertainty surrounding a shoe's future often makes it even more desirable - there’s nothing cooler than wearing something that you shouldn’t (within reason of course).

Another consequence of being cancelled or recalled is that the shoes become very hard to get hold of, and we know how much sneakerhead’s value rarity. Owning a pair of the Freddy Kruger Nike SB’s is always followed up with a ‘how did you get your hands on those?’, meaning the attached story makes thes shoe even more interesting.

You can keep it locked to The Sole Supplier to stay up-to-date on this release and find out if the 7-Eleven 110 will even be dropping.
