i agree with you on all points, and most all of that same bs has happened to me. havent bought any jordans since the xx3 or fire red iii, its been so long i dont even remember which. dont plan on buying any until black friday and as bad as the resellers are, it may not even happen then. there is absolutely no fun involved anymore, rather resentment. but they obviously dont miss my business.Originally Posted by jbizzle
Its pissing me off honestly, its like at the point where I just want to give up. When I went to go cop the IV's, I went there at 7 thinking I was all early and *%@+. I line up at champs because I see no one there, lady tells me they sold out.... %$$? They open @ 9am. I go to Finishline and I'm like 30th in line, I ask the security guy when the other stores sold out and he tells me we had people here since 4am. WHAT THE %#$$??? Jordan Brand should honestly do something, its ruining the fun. I'm seriously starting to hate these shoes now.
EDIT: I forgot to add, the FinishLine only had 9 pairs, some sizes were missing. How the @+$% does a retail store have missing sizes on release day? Then of course some guy in front of me cops the last pair, which was size 13 (my size). This guy was like 5' and had like a size 8 shoe, what the hell...
us old dudes are mostly just in it for nostalgia, and now have a lot of disposable income to get the sneakers we wanted so badly but couldnt afford.Originally Posted by southwestern
i think i know what part of the problem is.
people that grew up in the 90's buying jordans never got out of that stage. i mean, when jordans first came out there werent many 30+ year old people purchasing them. now youve got teenagers and 20 year old that are wanting to get certain models for the first times AND youve got the people that bought the original versions lining up to buy the retros. thats double the number (at least) of people wanting to all get the same shoes. so of course theres going to be long lines and what seems to be a shortage of supply.
i think if some of the older heads let the jordan go of the jordan hype then there would be enough shoes for everyone else.
of course resellers and shady employees are a factor to, but im always surpised to see how many people are complaing about the younger people that want the same shoes that THEY wanted when they were younger.
as far as the "but i remember when jordan was playing" argument, i think its pretty lame because we all know that the shoes dont actually make you play basketball like jordan.
so maybe its time for some of the older people to grow out of the hype and let the younger generation have there moment to shine.

all these hype beasts are ruining this for real sneaker heads.
In more ways than one.
