This is just another source of potential revenue for greedy *** Nike. What, pay $10 a month to increase your likelihood of getting a limited release by 1%? No thanks. How about implementing a pre order system instead so that supply meets demand? But of course Nike won't do that because they just...
Recycling old colorways? Fair point; but using the same concept with different colors would've been leagues better than this hot mess recently released that is most likely just selling on name value alone.
Are the days of DS Diamond lows in a Size 8 or 8.5 being below $1,000 long gone? Definitely kicking myself over not scooping a pair when they were 800 on StockX a few months ago.
Yeah, it's not about quantity, but rather the "passion" (short for having appreciation for the shoes for other qualities other than exclusivity and popularity) that defines a "sneakerhead."
Not sure if the SEC would even have any jurisdiction, but I'd venture to guess if the market for after-market shoes and clothing becomes large enough, there'd be some justification for regulatory action.
Yeah, StockX is probably compromised. Whoever is manipulating the market data per StockX is clearly aware of its status as a fair market value standard among consumers, and is taking advantage of that trust to inflate prices across the board. It's a cascading effect that leverages artificial...
Still wondering how any of ya'll have the patience to keep shoes DS for longer than a week after purchase. For as long as I've been collecting, it's always been straight to feet ASAP.
I'd have gone with the Air Max 1 instead, especially since the 97 has the "least deconstructed" appearance out of the entire collection, in my opinion. Which makes sense, since they're a fairly modern shoe compared to all the others included in the collection. It still baffles me that there's no...
Vapor Max, Air Max 97, Hyperdunk, and Zoom Fly (in my opinion, and likely yours too) are nowhere near iconic enough to have merited being part of The 10 collection. It would've been interesting to see the Dunk as part of the 10 from the get-go, along with the Cortez and original Huarache. If...
Yup, they definitely could've spent more time to retain their deconstructed theme from the 10 collaboration. I think the random additional lacing would have been more tolerable if there were more textures and materials used. In any case, I hope those that genuinely want the shoes are able to get...
Would've been way better if the AJ1 approach to the Dunks was taken. I don't see enough of the deconstructed/revealing approach on the Dunks. These shoes are just trying way too hard to be different for the sake of being different. Might as well add a randomly stitched swoosh to the toebox, add...
Disappointing, to say the least. Jewel swoosh? Seriously? Too drastic of a design element change for the shoe to even be labeled as an "SB Dunk OG." Not to mention the color blocking (while different) just doesn't look appealing. Hard pass.
