Not so, the article says "He emphasized that the German shoemaker prohibits shop owners from selling, distributing or shipping its products to resellers". It doesn't distinguish resellers from distributors. What if I buy a pair, never open or wear them, then a year later want to get rid of them by selling them as "New"? Under this policy the store I purchased them from would be closed.
