<p>The sneaker game has become a jungle thanks to resellers all around the world, and it has literally become the luck of the draw when it comes to getting your hands on a new release! Well, we now know we can thank the son of one of Nike&#8217;s executives for that.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nike-vp-ann-hebert-resigns-son-credit-card-resale-business-2021-3">Business Insider</a>, Nike&#8217;s Vice President and general manager for its North America division, Ann Hebert, resigned following reports that she was linked to her son&#8217;s sneaker resale business. Nike announced Monday that a new VP will be appointed shortly.</p>
<p>It was previously reported that Hebert&#8217;s 19-year-old son, Joe, used a credit card in her name to purchase over $100,000 worth of limited-edition sneakers for his resale business, West Coast Streetwear. Joe told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2021-sneaker-investment/?srnd=businessweek-v2">Bloomberg Business</a> that he resold the shoes in as little as three hors, making a $20,000 profit.</p>
<p>&#8220;Anything that&#8217;s releasing that I know I can make a guarantee buck on, I&#8217;m gonna go full into it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s just my style.&#8221;</p>

<p>Bloomberg also reported that Joe said his mother was &#8220;so high up at Nike as to be removed from what he does.&#8221; He also said she had never given him any inside information like discount codes, and asked for his mother not to be named in the original article.</p>
<p>Despite her resignation, Nike spokesperson Sandra Carreon-John said that Ann Hebert made the company aware of her son&#8217;s sneaker business back in 2018 and did not violate any &#8220;company policy, privileged information or conflicts of interest.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ann was named the head of Nike&#8217;s North America business division in 2020 after serving as the company&#8217;s VP of global sales.</p>
