just a joke, didn't make senseThey changed 40 to 50% and 20 million to 12 billion ?
Well the demand is still a critical part of it. The high demand has to exist first. That’s why all this only really happens with 4s and 1s. I know 3s are GOATed for people like us but the masses don’t (yet) feel the same way which is why FR3s were relatively easy to get
All of which were around (besides bots) before shoes blew up again.
You can throw all those things together but it still boils down to the popularity growing in every aspect (fashion influencers, social media, reselling, etc). Twice as popular? I’d say it’s way more than that
And no it didn’t happen overnight or even over a few years. The culture blew up with the concord retro and the galaxy foamposite fiasco because both were covered in the national news. Ever since those events it’s gotten bigger and bigger every year and shoes get harder and harder to get.
Popularity=harder to get=lucrative market=bots/resellers

I saw that, too. Classic.They changed 40 to 50% and 20 million to 12 billion ?
If you include non-botting resellers then yeah it’s probably much more than 10% of the stock bought for the purpose of reselling. Still don’t really blame them though given the potential profit and how easy it is to enter draws. I understand they’re taking away retail pairs from actual consumers but they’re also lowering the market price by increasing the supply for sale. If everyone who won L&Fs kept theirs to wear then the market price would’ve stayed over $800/$900 or whatever it wasYes, of course big demand has to exist in the first place. What I question is, how much of that demand is from botters, non-bot flippers, IG flexers who flip a week later, and on and on. I'm separating demand from people like us who actually like sneakers and want to keep and wear them from demand caused by these other types of consumers who aren't even the end users of the shoes they obtain
Don't get it twisted. A fire red 3 isn't on the same level as a wc3 or a bc3. Just wait till next year, you'll see.Well the demand is still a critical part of it. The high demand has to exist first.

Respectfully, taking pairs off the market at retail and placing them back on the market at a premium helps no one.I understand they’re taking away retail pairs from actual consumers but they’re also lowering the market price by increasing the supply for sale.
Serious question Even if Nike can somehow get rid of all bots, backdooring, and reselling completely, and only people who wanted to wear the shoes could enter draws … what % do you think would take a W and what % gets an L for something like Travis 1s? Is it 90/10? 50/50? Nike gonna make sure every corny *ss mf gets to rock one for only $200?Respectfully, taking pairs off the market at retail and placing them back on the market at a premium helps no one.
In fact, it does the exact opposite
Yes, if you want them and plan to wear them.Is 385 all in a good deal? They're .5 larger tho....
Yeah I’d pay that.Is 385 all in a good deal? They're .5 larger tho....
Last couple pages been boof with these intricate minds debating how to solve the sinister problem of supply and demand. I rather have more Nigerian scammer talk.
Not I..Then again, I got 2 pair already. Mainly entered for AMM4So no one hit Norte?
