The federal minimum wage was $3.35 in the 80s. It is now $7.25.
So in terms of work hours, Js cost about the same now as they did in the 80s.

In all fairness, he did take it like a man and admitted that the shoes were not authentic weeks back. He definitely was humble about it.

I pad $40 over retail, but I got to choose a pair I liked with no flaws and I paid for convenience

That actually may be worth it , as the flaws, while not outrageous, were plentiful. Getting a pair with No Flaws at all for $40 over retail is really not that bad.

A reseller will stop buying on restocks if the restocks are continuous. Because I doubt people would buy from resellers if they know that the stores are just going to have more within a few days.
Well I really wanted these and I missed out. I was working the day of release and I couldn't get on any websites with my cell phone. By the time i got out of work, every store around me was sold out on size 13hey Uncle 'Crete
a lot of people are just blind to be honest. JB has definitely listened to the consumer when it comes to availability of the OG releases. Dudes that miss out just dont really want them.
The single most effective thing JB has done is increased production on stuff like these and the holiday 11s to the point that the market and after market gets flooded. This keeps the resell prices reasonable but some dudes are just to lazy to negotiate with resellers for cheap prices.
and its always gonna be people that miss out on shoes even if they are sitting on shelves.... we get those "i slept" comments like no other
It would've been nice if JB would had flooded the market with these.

And that is the reason why resellers will still buy no matter the restocks, because a lot of us have jobs and miss out.... No matter how they flood the market some ppl, will buy them and sit on them... Look at the price of Gamma 11s nowA reseller will stop buying on restocks if the restocks are continuous.

Time raises price as pairs dry up no matter how many times they restock in the short term.
The only way prices would never rise is if the shoes were constantly in production which won't happen.

That's all I was trying to say. If some of these were constantly in production we wouldn't have to deal with resellers.

Bro if you live near a big city, just do some raffles and be there as soon as the store opens. I picked up a raffle pair from FNL then I went to champs, talked to one of the dudes and picked up another with no ticket. The BCs shouldn't be that hard. It all depends what time of the year they drop. If they come out on Black Friday or in December next year then it'll be a different story.

I would love for certain colorways to be standard issue. Like have some white 3s and XIs all year long like white uptowns and AM90s. Pure money 3/4 and black cat 3/4 should be available all the time. I don't think it would do damage to their legacy. In addition people can buy some paint and would be able to easily make their own custom coloways.

Add some all black & white Nike Vandals to that list also. With the OG shape, not the 2002 mold and canvas material of course.

He has many people fooled on here
One posts GM pictures and the other claims he's the tensai of NikeTalk.
Who's more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?
Feel bad for the new members who don't know any better and end up taking their information as fact.

^Man that's why I hate JB threads, users got no rep yet they put on a grand charade that they got the juice and some poor sap will fall for the bait.
