BTW...This statement..........
WRONG!!!
99' Black/Cements 4s & White/Cement 4s sold out immediately. I don't even remember seeing them on store shelves the way the sold out so fast.
But dude talking about "pre-2001" like sneakers just became in demand [color= rgb(255, 255, 0)]then[/color]?
Is that FOX News reporting?
And in Boston (where I was living at the time), all the retros were available well after release dates. In fact, the Black/Infrared VIs went on sale, and the Laney and Wht/Silver Vs were on clearance. I remember in 1994, when the Is, IIs and IIIs came out they were around for a long time as well.
My whole point was that its ridiculous to downplay the impact of the internet when it comes to the rise in popularity of sneakers. The birth of NT (and other shoe-related websites), the rise of eBay and secondary market sites, these are all key reasons why this hobby and passion for sneakers became a mainstream phenomenon...
This is true to a degree. The bred cw typically always sold out instantly, however the other Jordan cw were easier to obtain and would sit, but slowly sell out eventually. I believe this to be accurate imo.
