who would resell a GR on eBay? At $60 or more above retail when they are still sitting on the shelves in store for retail or if not at a discounted price.
Very well said. if I went out and bought a pair of kobes because it was the hottest thing out there and not because I personally wanted them then I believe that's a hypebeasts. But me buying a pair of Kobe's that I wanted from the get go? There's nothing wrong with that.
All kobe shoes will be bought before he retires. So 10 years down the road when they retro (if they do) we can all say we were "OG" sneakerheads and call everyone else hypebeasts.
How do you classify a wanna b? kobe shoes hasnt been retroed yet so anyone who buys a kobe isn't a "wanna b" people who buy retro Jordan's because its the hottest thing out there but don't know who Michael jordan is? Now that's a "wanna b"
nike doesn't care how we feel or how we get ripped off all they care is selling their shoes and making money. they can release a shoe for $1000 and limit it to 10 in the world and somebody will buy it then resell it. but reselling a GR shoe way above retail? come on now.
I'm just tired of people asking and then all of a sudden nike changes the procedure because of the hype AND I'm tired of everyone saying its a limited when they are clearly sitting on the ******g shelves!
