You know, I've been out of these JB threads for years now and have been around releases for years alike. Some of us older and aged NT heads can agree with my following point. I'd even venture to say some of our more youthful NT community members would agree as well.
Although the current "retail market" obviously resembles something that we refute and are in disgust about it lol I can honestly and vehemently say that I am happy to see that all who wanted to acquire this perceived exclusive and difficult to ascertain shoe, as exemplified by all of its predecessors of past years, were able to obtain it. Legitimately and without use of resellers involvement. Now don't get me wrong, I'm 36 years old and have been around for many shoe moons recouping and taking advantage of the vast benefits of "flipping" kicks . I take blame to that I admit it lol. But truthfully and sincerely it pleases me to see that the sneaker culture is slowly reverting back to what it was when I was your ages. Highly anticipated and popular footwear yet readily available and in great abundance. More importantly in my opinion and experience with this release, even days after. Again, the price sucks and it can arguably be at reseller market anyway but at least it "appears" that the shoe culture and distributors are figuring out ways to omit the "middle man" . My apologies in advance for the excessive sobbiness of this post but what the heck, I'm never in this thread anyway
