The irs dipping their hands in the reselling market was caused by what social media has made it into today. It's to much of a big business for them not to be involved. Society has hyped up sneakers to the point of where you literally can't buy average shoes like Air Force 1's or other retros that aren't Jordans. It's so crazy to the point to where shoe stores don't even carry anything that's half way decent.
It's only runners, or some type of ugly shoe, or ugly colorway on a nike nobody wants to wear. It's a reactionary trickle down effect in my opinion. It's as if the people who don't want to try to battle for popular retros like Jordans and other popular retro Nikes, are buying up the good Colorways of shoes like Air Max's or other decent shoes. Then after that's done, it's only ugly Colorways sitting in the stores that nobody wants, which aren't that many left to sell.
I've been to a few Footlockers just to see what's going on, literally nothing to buy except for runners, it blew my mind. It totally makes since because of how the internet and reselling market has made buying shoes into today. It's become a hoarding hobby, because it's not even about people buying a pair to wear. It's bigger than that.
It's all about getting pairs to resell, for trade bait, collect, store in your closet for years, or just to say that you have a shoe. The irs issue is going to make certain small time resellers get out, and it will also make prices go up higher to cover the tax issue for the sellers, in which it will push out even more buyers down the line in the future.
It's going to make people buy the shoes that they only want, basically being more selective.
