Nike launched an investigation after FedEx confirmed the packages were delivered to the Elm Hill Pike address. Investigators found the unreleased merchandise for sale on Facebook Marketplace in Nashville by Joseph Harris two days after the boxes were stolen, Metro police said. This reportedly happened five days before the collection was set to be released.

Detectives messaged Harris and arranged to purchase three onesies from the collection in a grocery store parking lot on Murfreesboro Road.

On Wednesday, March 6, Harris sold the three requested onesies to detectives and provided two more as extras “for friends” for $180, according to court documents. The estimated value of five onesies is $625.

During the transaction, detectives reportedly saw a large bag in Harris’ vehicle that contained more onesies.
