It isn’t reasonable to ask a retailer to shift their entire business. If a business has always existed by buying at wholesale prices, merchandising the store and then selling that merchandise that’s just how retail works, right? In my ebook How Nike’s CDO Shifted the Sneaker Retail Landscape and How Long Form Content, which was originally a white paper for a retailer discussing how to improve web traffic via content, I discuss how the moats around retail have fallen. It wasn’t just e-commerce. As brands, particularly Nike, dial in on the strategies needed to reach their customers directly, they have implemented omnichannel experiences which take place both digitally and within their brick and mortar stores.
Below is a list of events planned for Nike stores throughout December. Want to know where this list was placed? On the Nike News blog site. Want to know where the News blog for Nike helps the company? In search. Nike understands that the Complex, Hypebeasts and Highsnobiety blogs have built multimillion dollar businesses on content.
The next section will be long, but I’m establishing how on a small scale Nike begins to shape their CDO via both in-store and media events. As retailers fail to pay enough to keep employees on staff and fail to diversify how their shopping experiences are, Nike is making an overinvestment in people to host in-store events. They will then capture those events on video and present them on their social media accounts driving engagement to enhance digital. They are also reminding you that they will dominate sports viewing for the holidays. Remember as entertainment shifts from watching live television to streaming the last area of advertising that generates income on live tv is within sports. Look at this list:

Disruption, according to the Oxford Dictionary, is defined as a problem that interrupts an event or process.
The sneaker industry is entering a time unlike any moment in the history of the business. If ‘disruption’ was a weapon, it would be a trident. The three prongs would consist of the following sharpened spears:
Nike’s Consumer Direct Offense
Amazon
The rise of third party e-commerce sneaker sites.
This trident of disruption took shape in a silent, subversive manner. Retailers and resellers are in a battle that will require both large businesses and small businesses to adapt and follow the words of Sun Tzu.
Traditional retail must understand the enemy, by becoming the enemy. This book weaves and winds its way to a culmination that includes a year long experiment in sneaker resale establishing that the entire industry has shifted and millions of dollars are being left on the table by every party.
