Catering to resellers?

[flood401]

Yes its not as easy as it was in 2000 where you could walk into the store and buy as many as possible but honestly thats what i love the trading sneakers buying and selling for what you truly want! Its all a game and usually the guy with the most sneakers or money wins. When your out buying Js instead of buying textbooks or things for your kids you gotta check what your doing. Overall most of you guys got it right but some of these dudes need to lighten up

spoken like a true Reseller.. Lol

Yup..


..but trust me, I'm coming up with a plan to stop these re-sellers from selling here.

Some will hate me, some will love me...I'm willing to accept that.

It's just insane to me that people buy Jordan's when they don't even like them. They just wear them cuz it's he cool thing to do. Ridiculous.

Word, this guy hit me on Facebook and asked me where to get the new Jordans (he was referring to the Royals Xs) and I asked him if he was talking about the Xs. He then asks me "what are Xs?" and I stopped responding.

I made this thread to talk about Nike/JB catering to resellers.

This is not another bash resellers thread there are enough of those I just was stating my opinion that Nike/JB are IMO catering to resellers with these releases.

Feb is generally a slow month for retail so they probably put these hot in here to help carry the month.

Its going to happen when you mention anything that has to do with re-selling or resellers

Re sellers Are killing The Game and so are the Hypes

 

[bence23]

these lil teenagers are worse.. they buy em and then theyre like i dont like em..and throw em on craigslist..hypebeast kids in a phase are worse than resellers to me. Its like some combo

 

[futuredhughes]

People will resell anything.

I just hate it when people buy 3, 4, 5 pairs of sneakers and then they charge $200+ retail.

It takes sneakers away from people who aren't wanting to spend that much.

But what can you say, you can't blame the reseller totally.

I also blame those who spend $400, $500+ on them, because they legitimize the reseller's price.

supply and demand simply put

I dont think hes catering to resellers. perhaps consumers, that like the overall apperance of the shoe and purchase it. The only complaint that i have is customers that purchase multipule pairs, when Employees of major sneakers stores like Foot Action hold pairs for their boys or even lie that they solfd out of popular sizes, but thats a diffret issue. Its up to the consumer to investigate and find out the best possible out come upon each sneaker release. Good luck and GOOD RIDDANCE RESLLERS.

This... Even though I struck out on the last few releases, I put most of the blame on resellers.I still be like

 at the dudes like "I just got my 6th pair, I'm good now."

To each their own. Reseller game is only gonna get worse for the true collectors. I'll just wait for the hype to go down and buy at retail.

 

[midnight hype]

In my opinion, i think its gonna be easy because the trend of sneakers is changing, alot of f ugly kicks with flashy colors, weird straps,glow in the dark soles, that just carry a name that increase the hype,Which appeal to the younger crowd, Which doesn't bother me at all cause i like vintage kicks. For instance i was one of the few people waiting online to purchase the air flight one Orlando, while everyone else (hype beast, resellers and newer generation and a mix of people that may of like the shoe copped) the gitd Orlando sold quick fast LUCKILY i was able to scoop my size in the Orlando the shoes that i wanted.

 

[penalize]

no real point to complain about it, resellers are going to exist..

i dont think nike is "catering" to them, but the unreasonable prices resellers are charging and hype beasts are paying is good for the nike marketing scope...they arent seeing the profit directly, but the free marketing is priceless.
