confirmed. you had to spend at least 160 in asics products (they had GRs at 40% off, and old collab pairs for retail, so you ended up paying 160+ on pairs you weren't expecting to buy) to qualify for the hanons at retail

This. I've had a pretty decent run this year sneaker wise, especially for my first year with runners....even more so when you factor in there's no local shop here for these types of releases whatsoever. Think there's only 4 pairs that I missed that I wanted and realistically, I wasn't expecting to land any of then except the Hanons. If Cncpts doesn't come through, I'm copping Aqua 8s and going on with my day.

Taking the L on the Hanons :/
I've bought very few shoes at resale prices, but i've decided I'm done doing it all together. Always something new to come along.

Greed has been around for centuries. Reselling is nothing new, but reselling sneakers is somewhat recent. Now Tom, ****, and Harry are doing it, along with Martha, Janice, and Betsy. It's flat-out ridiculous!
Crazy thing is that I've read and heard Ronnie Fieg doesn't like resellers, but u don't see jack sh#t about him making changes to curtail the practice. But don't worry folks, Winter is Coming!

Wasn't Aaron a reseller himself back in the day?

The older I got, the more I realize that anything over $250 is absurd for a shoe and I'll never pay it. If companies could come up with something other than exclusivity to sell, we'd be in good shape. Screw the specail boxes and low production numbers, just put out dope pairs and let the rest work itself out.

What? That doesn't stop resellers though; it just makes them 'work' harder

I've been in this game for awhile now, and I've seen it wither and deteriorate over the years. I'm just shocked how I don't see any movements to rectify this sneaker epidemic. I see the exact opposite. Ffs, Stadium Goods has a partnership with eBay. What does that tell you!

RF doesn't hate on resellers, he even said it in an interview I watched. Can't knock the hustle. To me, reselling is apart of the culture. It always has been. Believe what you want to believe, but the exclusivity of shoes give value to sneakers regardless of premium materials or not.

He probably changed his tune once he saw $$$ from it. He sold out his latest NB collab for $240 a pop. I can tell u he used to have the opposite stance on the subject.

He probably took all the pairs he didn't sell and put them up on the eBay.
Just call it a sell-out and take all the pairs and charge more

That article is a pile of rubbish, factually incorrect and words have been twisted. They guy that was first in the queue immediately wore his hanons after buying them so he wasn't there to resell

Are you joking??
Aaron is a sneaker god that I bow down to. He is the reason asics are cool. Show some respect

don't quote me on this, but i think that cncpts set aside a couple of pairs, otherwise they would have indicated that only the remaining pairs would be released
