With every release and new retro model I feel increasingly as if Nike is relying solely on "hype" to sell everything except the least desirable general release retro mashup and generic nothingness that sits on mall store shelves.
It would be nice if availability of some of these releases would actually give us the option to see something in person and actually decide if it were worth purchasing because of materials/fit/comfort instead of just throwing money at the chance of maybe owning something. Then again, we probably wouldn't choose to buy a lot of this stuff if we were given that type of foresight and actual choice.
I'd rather have a steady flow of Gundam AM98s, Neon AM95s, original colorway AJ1s, Hot Lava ATC2s, Blk/Wht Air More Uptempos, etc. to regularly buy over and over, but instead I've found myself settling for lower tier, cash-grab, colorway variants of the models I want that sit in the box because they aren't really the pair I want. I realize that regular availability of the desirable actual OG stuff would likely not drive in new buyers, and that Nike is a multi-national, publicly traded corporation that has to answer to shareholders that demand every possible penny of profit above all else, but all I can do is hope that companies like this will service actual fans of the product more than a little drip here and there. This is a foolish hope, but I still hold on to it for some reason.
