Asics Love?!? Where is it?

[Blake P]

 
Coming from a Nike/JB sneaker collector I just made the switch to Asics/Puma/NB Collabs and I have to say these brands are straight

 I know I have missed out on a lot of nice releases the past few years but I intend to pick up some of the older releases within the next few months or so. I dig the Collabs and the quality on these joints are top notch!

Repped my fellow 559'er!  Slowly making the switch to quality runners as well.  Don't overlook Saucony!

Shout out to the dude on ebay who just sold his Alvins for a whopping $20 profit after fees.

I forgot to mention them as well. I will be online tomorrow morning ready to cop the Cavity Pack!

$200?

 

[dtb00201]

$200?

$220.27 plus $11.90 for shipping

ebay and paypal are going to take a little over $30 of that ballpark

$190-$165=$25

I was rounding during some of the math so he's making somewhere between $20-$25 profit

Some of the completed auctions I just looked at make even less.

Plus paypal takes 2.9% I believe

Dude made $22-$23 in profit and still has to ship the item from Florida. If the winner was from the West coast it's a wrap on him even making enough to buy a big mac.

Yea your numbers are solid. These days i have absolutely no sympathy for resellers. This year had to be devastating for them, nothing has a ridiculous resale price from this year really except the Fieg coves/mints , WTKD(resell is falling on those too tho) and the celebration pack from Jordan (also falling) I see  good times ahead when resellers quit and Saturday mornings become less stressful

u guys going in, counting the profits of resellers and everything wahaha.

The smart move is to just wait 6 months to a year for the pairs to dry up.

A used pair of Volcanos just went for $510 the other day

there are so many releases and collabs now and all the brands have really stepped up their game so i don't even stress a missed release anymore. it's just on to the next one. 

resellers get no money from me...retail or bust. too many good sneakers out to be handing money to the resellers.

Agree but some kicks that RF does, you need to hop on it asap. (That's if you really want them) volcano's were a perfect example. Now that more people are getting into asics, saucony, new balance, etc. it's going to be interesting on how things are in the future. If you wait to long and pairs dry up, you're looking on paying even more.

That's impressive

 

[ohwussup]

wow, nice.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the base for the customs?

 

[swcustom]

what customs?

 

[dtb00201]

Man, these are really starting to grow on me lately. I like these way more than the GT-2s also.

 

[kevkev]

Salmon toe 5s.

 

[swcustom]

aahh those. pretty sure they were those off white and purple joints....

If it was a RF collab that materials would also be excellent

truth. i like those V's but they are def not better than the GT2's.

that cheap nylon has deferred me.

The GT-2s suede feels like a suckling pigs behind

Problem?

Or perhaps you thought I was not aware that it actually is pig suede....

lol, his reaction was probably due to your post sounding like you ghostwrite for Ronnie. He might mess around and pull out a line like that for the next asics drop.
