You really wouldn’t take any retro+ AJ 6 over sport blues? Those are such a terrible shade of blue and vastly inferior to both of the other OG white based AJ6s in the White IR and Maroon cws.
Mist 380s came in.. I’m not crazy about 380s but I always liked this cw but just never got around to getting a pair. Feeling weirdly nostalgic about this pair as well since I remember right at the start of the pandemic in 2020 wanting a pair (and thinking about where I was in life at that time...
Pretty wild I got both of these DS pairs of red/maroon OG High/85 bricks for a little over $200…
I love it, feels like I got both a home and away pair in this cw lol
I’ve honestly wondered this. Mom and pop stores already operate with much less margins than the big chain footstores. Does anyone know how much these smaller shops pay per pair for a men’s FSR for a $200 retro release?
Tbf, Adidas initially had a Boost manufacturing problem so not sure how much of that was actually intentional, at least initially.
I do think that they intentionally made Hu NMDs extremely limited for a long time though.
Honestly, if all of this leads to a GR retro of any one of these following releases, a lot of us older collectors will be very happy:
These along with a GR Air Yeezy 2 retro would be absolutely insane and a huge W for those of us who don’t want to take out a small mortgage to cop these...
Lapstone doesn’t charge tax for the DMV area and they tend to have awesome discounts so I’ve honestly copped so many GR releases living in DC/VA over the years on that site lol
Nike has a lot more competition now vs 10-20 years ago though, not to mention all the issues with growth:
Analysts say it’s unclear if Nike will be able to achieve even its revised outlook as it seeks to overcome an innovation lag and increased competition from other brands in crucial...
The smartest people immediately dumped their initial release pairs tbh.
I guess this could be said for the majority of hyped Yeezy releases though as the brand was very good at restocking and retroing releases.
Yeah they completely ruined the OG lows with the small swoosh and removal of the lacehole.
Those recent shadow lows are nasty work tbh, look like some alibaba taobao express fake version of the 2015 Shadow Lows lol
