Nike Dunks buyers see their orders canceled because of Nordstrom screw-up
(CNN) — Some sneaker enthusiasts came up empty-handed after Nordstrom oversold its stock of the coveted new model of Nike Dunks.
The Nike Dunk Low “University Red” was released on the Nordstrom website Wednesday, at 7 am Pacific time. The store was one of a select few retailers selling the model.
Later that day, some customers found that their orders had been canceled, and Nordstrom said it didn’t have enough shoes to fill the orders.
“The demand for Nike shoe drops can be significant, though we often have a limited supply of product available for customers to shop. We hate to hear we’ve disappointed customers and hope we’ll be able to serve them with future Nike launches,” Nordstrom said in a statement Wednesday.
The sneakers are currently sold out on both Nordstrom’s and Nike’s websites. It’s unclear if there will be a restock of the limited-edition release.
The red-and-white sneaker, also known as the St. John’s Dunk, is a 35th-anniversary remake. The list price is $100.
As of Thursday, pairs were being offered on eBay for around $400.
