I think a good example of the market being oversaturated and people just getting "tired" is the recent release of the Black/Red 13s. You can go on all the footsites, NDC, and SNKRS and find your size. A few years ago, these would have been gone. Either Nike/Jordan made way too many pairs, so they're just sitting, or the hype wasn't there. It varies with every shoe that is released. Also, Adidas is killing the lifestyle game with their NMD's and Ultraboosts. So maybe people are just more into those than they are with Nikes/Jordan.

Saw this thread pop up while I was lurking during my break time at work, so let me just drop my 2 cents on it.
Jordan Brand raises the price of most retros to $190, which is probably about close to $210 post-tax..........you damn right you're gonna eventually see a ton of Retro Jordan colorways sitting.
As for why hyped Adidas are sitting, Adidas is just simply making more supply and the demand is just str8 up going stagnant IMO. When the next pair of Yeezy Boosts get released, then you'll see Adidas dropping sell outs again.

Ugly? No
I agree about wearing most retros outside of a gym/basketball setting tho, include these in there
I have a soft spot for em since I had the OG as a kid and prob one of my favorite shoes ever. Tough as nails back in the day too

even with a burst bubble a ***** can't get a size 13 if i wanted these.
i'd go after the bordoze selms and cool grey lelms but other than that they've whored everything out.
Basketball shoes are kinda bulky for the jeans that's worn now. I'm more into trainers past and present. How the mighty have fallen

How did Wilt Chamberlain play in chucks? CHUCKS.
Lol, Retros aren't that bad though. The average athlete usually won't push them past their limit. I've seen some dudes ballin' in Filas and Reebok on outdoor courts without a problem.

I cringe a little when I hear people geeked for a release. Can't believe they're taxing 190 for joints tho.
