ferrari 360 = Miami Nights
ferrari Enzo = WTL
theres exclusivity anywhere you look. He's right... the less there is, the more you want it, even if you don't wanna admit it.
ferrari enzo was something special, they chose you to have one.
trust me the exclusivity of expensive cars is not the same as sneakers, they're only exclusive because of your level of wealth.
Exclusivity of shoes is completely manufactured, whereas the exclusivity of some of the most coveted items in the world is due to a limited amount of people that can even afford them to begin with. Really not a good analogy to use supercars or any other seriously expensive item. In other words, exclusivity = image of wealth and therefore it becomes more desirable.
That doesn't really translate to shoes, except in the world of paying resell prices. I'm not trying to cop the WTL as a show of wealth. If Nike jacked up the price to $1k, they would have to make less because they wouldn't come close to selling out if they made it in GR numbers.
It's the exact same thing, how many dudes on this forum cop limited kicks actually keep and wear those limited kicks. Maybe 40% at best.
I know a lot of dudes that get every release regardless of release dates and hookups simply because they are willing to pay whatever resale price it costs to get what they want.
While some dudes still want to think they are special for having certain kicks the rest of us know that all that separates most peoples sneaker collections is having the disposable income to cop whatever you want.
