I don't what it is with this young generation. Why worry about a shoe saleing out so if it don't do that make the shoe unpopular for you to purchase dont worry about what people think as long as you like them buy them . I remember freshman year in high school 93 when the playoff 8s came out they didn't sellout right away but i still got them and i got the playoff 7s that was still on the shelf from the season before for 79.99 not that that shoe was not popular it was around that time in the 90s you alot of popular athletes the have their owe shoe and alot people was not just on one athletes shoe
