A Nike executive quit on Monday after her son spent $132,000 on limited-edition sneakers for his own reselling business using one of her credit cards.
Ann Hebert, the vice president and general manager of Nike’s North American division, was implicated after a Bloomberg Businessweek article revealed that her son Joe Hebert, 19, used bots to buy 600 pairs of a popular sneaker (the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Zyon) after they were published online. Hebert used his mother’s corporate American Express credit card to stock up on shoes for his resale firm, West Coast Streetwear, and then sold them for more than $20,000 profit.
Other sources in the story said Hebert previously also used his mother’s employee discount to purchase sneakers in bulk from Nike outlet stores.



According to Bloomberg, Hebert denied ever receiving inside information from his mother. He reportedly asked that his mother’s name be left out of the Bloomberg story.
Nike stated in a statement that Hebert, who had worked for the firm for 25 years, had voluntarily resigned.
“Ann Hebert, VP/GM, North America geography has decided to step down from Nike, effectively immediately,” the company wrote in an email to employees, according to Complex. “We thank Ann for her more than 25 years with Nike and wish her well.”
