Not trying to be "that way"...but, the hate for the sake of hate is getting old...
Fine...YOU (and by you...I mean, OG Niketalkers)...that doesn't mean that hundreds of thousands of others don't...
AND...that also doesn't mean that they aren't selling and selling VERY well...
Sure, you will still see them on display for a while, but the majority of stores will have a few pair here and there left...the difference now vs 5 years ago is that someone 5 years ago would have bought those couple pair ONLY to flip on eBay...which, just isn't the case anymore...

abyss known as da sneaker world outside beaverton obviously...da question is are they selling like VI's are supposed to sell? and that answer is HELL no.
cuz da same people that you mentioned used to cop multiple pairs to flip on ebay are picking other sneakers to do so...check da copper penny foamposite thread
or even those ugly motorsports....these varsity red VI's are OF COURSE going to eventually run out when they go on sale....does that mean that Nike/JB
couldn't do ALOT better making these da way everyone wanted them to be sell em out THAT much FASTER? ok then.
Buddy, I had the OG VI's back in high school, freshman year. I remember the VI's cost about 125 plus tax. Anyways, point being is, that is when MJ wore them in the playoffs, so hype was at it's finest. These didn't sell out the first day, nor the first week I believe. I remember I had to wait a little bit and behave and do all kinds of chores for like a week to get them. No layaway, nothing, just walked in with my mom and copped these with ease. JM is right, only a few shoes had lines of folks waiting outside, and that was the XI when they debuted out here back in 96. So please don't try to argue and state that the shoe aint selling well, eventually it will be sold out. Just some shoes sell faster than the others.
