  + stars: | 2023-02-07 | by ( Inti Pacheco | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Zack Jones, a 26-year-old M.B.A. student from Provo, Utah, loves sneakers and the chase of getting them, especially the Nike Inc. limited-edition versions that can sell out fast. In early 2021, he paid a reseller $280—2½ times the sticker price—to snag a pair of “Panda” Dunks, a white-and-black leather sneaker by Nike, when he wasn’t able to get a pair directly from the sneaker giant. Then Nike did something that sneakerheads didn’t expect. The company, stepping on the thrill, restocked the Panda Dunk several times after the initial release. Suddenly the shoes were everywhere, which can be the kiss of death for collectors and die-hards who are trying to look different.
☆ 'Party is over': Hapag Lloyd CEO says freight rates to keep declining
  + stars: | 2023-02-01 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
HAMBURG, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Container freight rates will keep declining in the current realignment of shipping demand and supply, said the chief executive of Germany's liner Hapag Lloyd (HLAG.DE), the world's number five by transport capacity. "Now we have to fight for every box again to get our ships full," he said. However, he expects freight rates will not fall below costs, which were being kept high by expensive charter rates, high fuel costs and the need to adjust fleets to running on low carbon fuel. Ship docking and scrapping was increasing this year after a period when ship owners kept old vessels running to meet high demand, he said. At the same time, Hapag Lloyd expects to receive a series of new ships it ordered in recent years, including some giant 23,600 twenty foot equivalent unit (TEU) vessels.
