The enterprising Nelson then uploaded all pairs to\u00a0his Instagram account, @SNKR_BASE, selling all pairs somewhere in the range of $135-$300. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/tag\/nike-kd-8\/\">Nike KD 8<\/a> is expected to retail for $200.<\/p>\n<p>After the shipment was noticed as absent, authorities were alerted to the theft after Nelson uploaded not only images of shoes, but serial numbers and barcodes of each shoe to his IG. Both employees are being charged with theft and grand larceny. They were released on their own recognizance but if charged, could face upwards to four years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inquisitr.com\/2131901\/jfk-airport-workers-caught-stealing-durants-sneakers\/\" target=\"_blank\">inquisitr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of the official release of the Nike KD 8 &#8211;
