over saturated market. It's good for real sneakerheads like us who want to own the shoe. Bad for reselling. This is why every once in a while a random will come in here and say SBs are dead - zero hype compared to any and every JB retro.. and IMO even those are dying. Think it's simply nike making pairs more available.Anyone know the release count breakdowns for the last few years?
Like 2013 - # of GR and QS? Ect.
Just curious as to when the shift to "wait for discount" happened. I know everyone doesn't wait but a good many in this thread are of that mentality it seems. Granted we aren't the only ones buying SBs or any sneaker for that matter but I feel the community is a good measuring stick for what essentially went wrong.
I ask this continuing the conversation from yesterday as I believe an over saturated market is to blame.
Too many releases in too short of a timespan being sold to consumers who live in an economy coming out of recession in many ways still.
If the new guidelines Nike is giving to account holders regarding sales is true then the idea of "support your local" while Nike is saying 'don't advertise sales' is going to put a lot of well meaning business owners into a bad predicament especially those who are truly local and do not maintain a large online presence.
