A quote from one of their press releases:"Nike also will expand its own retail expertise and direct-to-consumer businesses. “Becoming a better retailer will help us be a better wholesale partner,” Parker said. By 2011, the company expects Nike direct-to-consumer sales, which include inline stores, factory outlets and e-commerce, to increase to 15 percent of sales, up from the current 12 percent. Growth will come from all three Nike direct-to-consumer categories.The company anticipates opening approximately 100 new inline Nike stores worldwide, with up to half expected to open in the United States over the next three years, to elevate the brand experience, position the Nike brand in the world’s premium shopping locations and test innovative retail concepts that can serve as a growth catalyst for the specialty athletic retail industry."Sounds like if they are aquiring skateboarding mailorder their "inline stores" will throw rollerblades and skateboarding in the same pot. As long as they are making billions they don't care. I will never understand why skateboarders let them in. Huge mistake. Go Birdo!
