As a seasoned backpack owner and a frequent commuter in bustling cities, I find myself appalled at this latest trend sweeping through social media. The audacity of some teenagers to steal zippers off Nike Elite backpacks is nothing short of baffling. It’s not just the theft itself that irks me, but the fact that they are reselling these zippers for a profit!
Adolescents have been engaging in a series of thefts to gather the zippers from Nike Elite backpacks. They’ve amassed many of these zippers and are selling them at a high price, capitalizing on a popular new online fad.
On social media, there’s a growing phenomenon where thieves are stealing zippers from Nike Elite backpacks. Users on TikTok are sharing videos boasting about the zippers they’ve stolen from others’ bags.
A teenager from New York City boasted about his rapidly expanding assortment, now exceeding a baker’s dozen, of zipper pulls that are unique to the style of Nike backpacks, advising others to keep their bags secured when in his presence.
In my gaming world, I often see videos on TikTok where kids brag about the number of points they rack up in a day at their “school,” along with discussing the high prices they fetch on the “resale market.
Some thieves argue that this new trend is financially viable, suggesting it can cover their living expenses while they charge a small fee for items like zippers to those affected by the trend. On the other hand, others are dramatically increasing the price of ties to as much as $40, as reported by commenters on TikTok.
People outraged as schools warn of zipper thieves
As a gamer, I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief when I came across a TikTok video showcasing rows upon rows of Nike Elite backpacks, each one seemingly lacking the essential fabric ties on their zippers. It’s like they’ve gone too far, don’t you think?
A Reddit user asserting to be a victim of this ongoing fad commented: “Why on earth is this fashion trend of removing the zippers from Nike Elite backpacks spreading?
Over the past week, most of us have had our backpack zippers taken off while we were walking with them.
others responded by sharing that their zippers had been removed too, with one individual commenting: “My son’s were stolen yesterday. I’m incredibly aggravated. Losers, just buy your own items.
Another added: “One of the lamest trends I’ve seen. Stealing from people isn’t cool. Not to mention the whole concept looks trash and they are literally just standard zip pulls with a plastic coating.”
Some schools are sending out emails cautioning about a popular trend, as reported by TikTok users, and owners of Nike Elite shoes who dislike this trend have started carrying their backpacks in front instead of on their backs, tightening the laces twice for added security or removing them entirely.
It’s not clear what initiated this trend, but a Reddit user mentioned that their father experienced something similar about three decades back.
“I shared with my father that this is a popular trend now, but he reminded me it’s not actually new – people have been doing this for more than three decades, dating back to his high school days. In fact, some stores even began selling the zippers related to this activity at that time.
Recently, TikTok users have found another source of upset, not just this incident, but a user’s actions that caused a stir when they challenged a fellow passenger for borrowing their charger on a flight.
