Yup but people always prefer to blame others rather than their own bad behaviors....
I agree with this statement and agree with what I believe is your main point. The sneaker head community can largely eliminate the resell market by saying no. With that said it will never happen. We got folks who feel this overpowering "need" to have a certain sneaker. They have to have it or their life is somehow adversely affected. So when they can't get the shoe at retail they pay extra so they can calm the monster inside their mind. It is a behavior issue. It's the I have to have that at all costs syndrome.
I'm probably the oldest guy in this forum so I see things a little differently and many people won't agree with me. That's ok. I love the RC colorway. I'd love to have a pair. I'll probably strike out. I won't pay resell just to have them. Ultimately it's just another color of a shoe. I'll find other colors in the future that I can buy at retail and enjoy every bit as much as the RC.
I do also believe that the sneaker companies play a major role in this resell market as well. They could make more RC for example but they won't ....why? Build hype. I get it. It's good marketing but it's not the most gracious way to treat your customers.
Just my two cents from the old guy perspective. I hope everyone that wants a pair of RC can get them. Good luck.
