Because the V1 don’t compare to the V2.
I’m ready for the line to be done.
Adidas is turning into the new nike, play **** out.

Nike fell off imo. Adidas was a breath of fresh air the last couple years

Adidas killed the UB and NMD though... Hype is pretty much dead nowadays, aside from a drop or two here or there.

No hype doesn't mean they killed the model. Seeing the amm and lux I would disagree.

If dudes can't resell, a model is automatically "dead". Sad really.

Adidas didn't kill ub's or nmd's, they cashed in on the hype they created. They've moved on and started the same cycle with Futurecraft 4D.

Yeah Adidas didn’t have the same level of respect for UBs and NMDs as they did for Yeezys. They put out massive GRs of cws nobody wanted and dumb NMD R1 spinoffs like the hideous R2s.

Those are 2 releases out of how many UB releases? UBs are more or less dead in terms of hype-Adidas oversaturated the market for them and deals for them even appear on Slickdeals nowadays.

Resell value makes the shoe impressive in sneakerhead culture. This isn’t anything new tbqh.

When people say “over-saturate the market” they mean StockX as the market right? Honestly curious as that phrase always confuses me. Like what does that really mean?

It means dudes bought shoes they didn't wanna wear thinking they would get rich, and failed.

How the moonrock was omitted for the Best Yeezy Release poll I surely do not know. I’m appalled.

To me, it means that they push out a high number of cws (or models, in the case of the NMD R2) without much thought put into them. On top of that, they increase stock #s so all these uninspired cws sit and go on discount for people with less discriminating tastes to buy.
Who actually gets rich off of sneakers? I always assume most resellers do it as a side gig.

I understand omitting some V2's since theres so many colorways, but not including any of just the 4 colorways of V1's crazy
