The business was bogged down—placing an online order came with a risk that your purchase might not be processed and shipped for weeks. In mid-March, Bodega co-founder Dan Natola sent a note around the industry that he was stepping down from his role as director of brand strategy.

Nike is releasing a new iteration of the original ‘Neon’ Air Max 95 colorway based on an unrealized 1994 sketch from the shoe’s designer, Sergio Lozano.

I don’t care about the global economy, I don’t care about tariffs, I don’t care about my family. All I care about is that my Sabrina Carpenter skin on Fortnite can wear Air Max 95s. https://t.co/4o1hQ9RcCm
