I wanna see a new boost silhouette (that competes or is better than UBs) and/or more AM4s. Better yet, PK 93/17s. They've transitioned the majority of CWs to mesh now. Killed that silhouette for me.

Good luck. I had two pairs. Sold one for a 50 dollar profit and returned my other one since it wasn't even moving at retail. If these go way up because Drake wore them, more power to ya. I would be hella pissed I returned the second pair

I sold my used pair and have been sitting on the iced pair since it released. bought the 2nd pair slightly over retail too so wasn't a good investment. Will continue to sit on them but ultimately I know I will take a loss on them if I try and sell now.
But all good have sold some of my older 1.0s for a lot more over retail so it's evening out.

The challenge is these celebrity endorsers aren’t commerical enough. Meaning you have to regularly push (100k pairs is miminum commerical volume) to justify the endorsement. They need to stay limited to have appeal. Couple this with the average selling price of a pair of sneakers in the US being roughly $70 and you realize how small the market is for collabs.
Not sure about the new technology of soles but your $500k number for a FSR may be really close for brand new rubber injection mold tooling. The issue is that most base tooling isn’t new. They change out inserts/slides to create different looks but the base tooling gets a lot of production out of it. Depending on the compound millions of units. Years back the company I worked for (industrial products not consumer/footwear) purchased the same German equipment that Adidas and Puma used to manufacturer their soles. The company talked about it a lot since it’s what put them on the map and built their credibility.

If Drake drops a UB 1.0 Collab with the OVO colors.... I'm in. 
Although I wonder how much creative freedom he has with Adidas. Will he get his own Yeezy/HU line? The OVOs

did not know people liked Drake enough to buy his stuff. I thought people copped the OVO stuff because it was limited and liked them.

too clean for me but thats why i thought people liked them, not because of Drake. I thought most dudes dislike drake and his rap, but secretly like him when nobody is around?

Some people are just too cool to admit they like Drake
I ****s with Drake. He makes good music in my opinion - just not into his music when he tries to sing

Some odd design choices on those Pod s3.1s.
They've got a takedown Saikou vibe to them.

Is there some kind of fashion trend this year for sportswear brands to only use your sole tech in the heel of the shoe and not anywhere else? Both the 270 and the Pod in the same year seems too coincidental

drakes shoes are garbage
and drake not really into the shoe stuff like other artists
him having a shoe deal is forced from any brand
but yes he could’ve been more profitable for jb if they did more but eh

Someone at Adidas needs to pull the rug out from Pharrell. Dudes new stuff outside of a unicorn pair of Chanel’s has been mostly hot garbage.

They'd rather give deals to people who have no clout in the sneaker community(Weekend, Future, Drake, Big Sean...)
