I'm not clear on if it was a VIP drop or something but apparently luisaviaroma released Bone FOG1's this morning while all the Skylon hoopla was happening. Someone from another forum posted their order confirmation screenshot. Kinda wild.
You can tell when Nike really put $$$ on hyping a shoe cause for a whole 3 months we get "another clean look" post from SoleCollector, Hypebeast, etc then we get to watch all the "influencers" post their pairs all over social media. That didn't happen wit Skylons, and I'm happy that a shoe I...
The hype machine as a whole isn't behind the Skylon as much as the FOG1 or SA. Even in the lookbook, it's barely there. You can legit miss it. I think the shoe will eventually sell out, but it'll be more like how the John Elliott AF1 and Vandals were. The flipping crowd can't do work on this...
I'm paranoid somebody would use the oop to just turn around and sell it themselves. I'd do it in a heart beat for an actual friend though. Probably wouldn't even do more than retail if they really wanted it.

Somebody explain to me why anyone entertains Stadium Goods, Flight Club, etc when it comes to resell. Seems their prices are almost always extremely higher than other avenues. Prices for FOG1 are $1000+ on Stadium Goods.
That's true cause the Nike FOG release in Asia was crazy. The display they did was wild and they didn't do anything close to that in the US. The display in Nikelab was pathetic in comparison
People really do overestimate how much other people pay attention to them. If you wear FOG or any other hyped brand, 90% of people (a) won't notice and (b) don't give a ****. Unless you of course go to an extreme to get noticed and do something like cut the *** out and turn the FOG 1 into open...
