Ummmm, WRONG. I was born and raised in Omaha. Come visit and I guarantee you'll change your point of view. We've had gangs from California and Chicago here since the early 80's. Don't get it twisted potna

Try coordinating that "very simple" solution with a bunch of sneakerheads, hypebeasts, nostalgic fools (such as myself) and thirsty resellers.
Not so simple.

Looks like I'm giving up on this drop. Seller that was gonna hook me an 8.5 just read my message, and didn't reply. I did a lot of thinking before going in for the kill, and realized it would be foolish of me to buy the same shoe twice. If I get these i wouldn't get the same hype as i had when 2013s dropped.
Might just settle for FF 1's + 1 pair of Vans and call it off.

Why? If you were gonna trade it for Chi's anyway , you might as well just sell it and take the proceeds and buy a pair.

Incorrect. Reseller speculating causes artificial spikes in price due to increased scarcity of the kicks. The timing of resale means there's less pairs on the market at a time- resellers try to hold them until they can maximize profit.the word resller is used like an insult in this "community" the hate is hilarious to me, I for one love resellers. Think about it. If everyone bought shoes and kept them all then you would never have a chance at them once they sell out so there is no difference between someone buying 6 pairs to keep and 6 pairs the sell, they are that persons shoes to whatever they so choose... the only one that could ever be a benefit to you is the guy that's selling.
There wouldn't be that many people copping 6 pairs of kicks to wear. And 6 is a small inventory compared to a lot of what we're seeing.
Resellers only help by increasing the amount of deadstock inventory at later dates, and generally if it's a sleeper that falls below retail price on the market later. I've had it help me with copping forgotten collabs, etc (for example, my Packer x Adidas Conductors and my Ronnie Fieg EQTs) .
Mostly it screws people over on hyped releases. Think before you talk, bruh.

Those companies that make your life better are FAR worse than any re seller. Those companies drive people to kill themselves and basically die from exhaustion. Flawed logic bro.

I have a boy who just moved Texas who's driving a Ferrari F430 solely based on his collection, connections, and reselling. All done while he was on the East Coast.
He's retired from the game now because it became too competitive. He's sold his entire collection and spun his success and the money he made into another business.
He built his collection when things were still relatively civil.

Screws over cry baby ***** made dudes that think the world is so unfair because they couldn't buy a shoe... if I had the connections to get 30 pairs then I'd take it. Anyone who says they wouldn't capitalize is either stupid or a liar. Resellers are not the problem. Period.

bots are harder to fix but backdooring is easy. Ban the accounts that have proof of backdooring. There are a lot of accounts patiently waiting for a chance to sell these legitimately.
The bot problem is tougher. It's like asking the cops to stop everyone who speeds.

Bots and other exploits (accessing private API's etc) will never be fixed because there are always programmers who are equally as smart or smarter working on the other side.
I agree that the backdoor problem can be easily fixed. Look at the strangle hold Apple has on it's distribution channels. That's how it's done.

Really? They had to install nets to catch workers from jumping out of the windows to their death. There you go, one example is all you need, you can take it from there.
