Surprised you didn't see it coming. We aren't talking Nike G, you know anybody buying an Adidas BBall shoe is buying them 100% purely for love of the brand or the player. No "after market" value what so ever so no "hype" purchases. Every signature Rose colorway I can remember gets a 30% price cut eventually.
I definitely knew that Adidas and D Rose have a way to go to reach Nike status, but for some of these "limited" colorways I felt had more traction in the market compared to previous years. Word was the yellow 1.0 All Stars were limited. They did sit a little, but not long enough to reach the sale rack and I almost missed out on my size. Probably the only example going for me though.
The Le Lings can still be find in random sizes and that was suppose to be limited too. I guess my question has more to do with misleading "limited" hyper from Adidas than actual demand for D Rose shoes, even in the city where people are starting to rock D Rose's more and more.
