(REUTERS) — Nike Inc has come up with new rules for retailers, prompted by unruly crowds outside stores selling its shoes, the Wall Street Journal reported.
According to a company memo reviewed by the paper, the world’s largest sportswear maker told sporting-goods 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.
