Pretty dope pair in hand.... Which laces y'all liking??

Nike makes part of their brand and collabs pretty exclusive, and it fuels interest and demand, same old formula. Its like Nike are acting like advertising or marketing resellers (benefitting off of their limited sneakers, not limited or high prices necessarily). Then the resellers help Nike's marketing of limited products by scooping up as many pairs possible and reselling it for their benefit (profits).

Consumers don't get benefit from either Nike or resellers benefitting themselves.

Yes, to benefit consumers instead of just benefitting Nike’s image and resellers, is to just make more pairs or make pre-orders. But the winners here are just Nike and resellers.

I agree. But my stance has always been that even if Nike doubled or even tripled the number of pairs that they make when it comes to these collabs and limited pairs, IMO the interest, demand, exclusivity, etc., would be in no way negatively affected. Shts would still be hard to get, they’d still be limited, demand would still be high, those who obtained would still be part of an “exclusive” group, Nike would make even MORE money, resellers would still resell, but we’d (regular az buyers) benefit by having a better chance of obtaining. Seems like an all around WIN for everyone in my book. IMO the Travis Scott’s, Chunkys, Strangeloves, Grateful Dead pack, Purple Skunks, and others, would still sell out super fast, be hyped, and everything else, if their numbers were turned up a bunch. The only loss would be for resellers, as more pairs would mean they wouldn’t be able to resell for as high.

you wanna know the absolute worst part about it all?
NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO. (Literally no matter what)
we love the rejection. it makes us want to be accepted even more.

Dopamine chase.

Picked up a pair of the SB Dunk boots to wear for work. Kinda disappointed there’s no Zoom insole in them.

 

[mrnonchalant]

I didn't know the civilists had 3 extra sets of laces. I thought it was just the yellow and black.

Totally agree. Especially since most pairs won’t get worn anyway.
The sad reality of the situation is even if the upped production by 5x we’re all still gonna take Ls most of the time. It’s just more money for resellers.

 

[mrnonchalant]

Yeah the only way the upped production would actually be taken advantage of from a pure consumer POV is if bots/resellers numbers go down as well. Otherwise upping the production numbers just gives them more product to get and resell. We kinda really are in a lose lose situation no matter what changes (if any) get made.

 

[nickname.esco]

I get the limited collaborations.

gotta have special stuff.

but to make so many regular dunks damn near just as exclusive just seems odd.

but they know the recipe so hey.
Gotta keep us interested.

Magically after typing all that I don’t care anymore. Lol.

I get what I get and dassit.

 

[Meeky]

Quick on feet pic but im not tryna have these be the only sbs I get for retail

I agree, more people are able to get more pairs, its just that 100% demand would never be 100% fulfilled.

I prefer the white - it complements/amplifies the mini swoosh.

[downyboy]

is there a brown shoe in the sashiko pack?

 

[KanyIZZY]

There’s a few IG European Sneakerhead accounts that I follow that I swear manage to get every limited release, it’s mind boggling.

Nah, that’s just bot boggling.

Today I actually saw some sbs in the wild. Kid was rocking strangeloves. I hardly see folks wearing sbs outaide in real life outside of sneaker lineups.
