That's exactly what is it. We used to have all that stuff for collecting, but nowadays, they're all out of style. Sneakers are the new collectible in town. However, just like everything, the fad will die and things will get better.Originally Posted by DublBagn
Nikes entire objective is to make money, and being a sneakerhead is the new card collecting. Its the new pog's, its the new cabbage patch kids, elmo, beanie baby, etc... Sports cards went south once everyone knew they could be bought and sold for money (people do this with sneakers), also sports cards started to get away from general stuff and turned into being all about super rare "sub sets" and "inserts" (what do you call what is going on with sneakers the last couple years?)Originally Posted by CDUNK

And surely you don't really believe that only sneakerheads are out to cop; I would venture that of the campers, the majority are amateur resellers, a fair amount of hypebeasts and a few devoted sneaker heads. NSW in particular is driven by the hype machine; when is the last time you've ever seen ANY marketing for a Nike Retro?
There's no going back to the quickstrike because it's just not possible anymore. We live in the instant age, with blogs and social media and even ancient old Niketalk always getting the jump on unreleased product. While it would be nice for more pairs to be floating out to make an easier cop, the demand isn't going down for the sneaks anytime soon.
Yep, this release wasn't about money now, it's about keeping that hype built up for consistent money later. They don't want this "shoe game" to become what happened to the card collection scene in the 90s.
you are in the middle of the downswing of a fad, sure some people really enjoy all of the things I listed about and will continue to collect with or without the hype. But a majority are in and out just like every other fad.
