What could possibly be valuable in this data? What color X shoe will be next season or what it will cost. I wouldn't even waste the time downloading this data, likely the largest possible snooze fest.

They do. Started by the Air Force One dev team, so it's kinda slow now.
Hey, give it a break. It's still running 10-base-T-shirt.

I am afraid that these continual leaks mean the physical release of Nike's new shoes will be delayed and they will initially be digital-only ?

The Pro: You find Nike makes the most amazing car ever.
The Con: It is patently illegal to sell, own, or drive in any color other than babyshit green with neon pink accents.
