These are not restocking according to one of the managers at my nike store. He said 0% chance

IMHO, not likely, but I wouldn't say 0% chance. Anytime we assume that, we are proven wrong.

What does my experience have to do with Ny or la? Go to the site and try it yourself. Someone else said they thought their pair sold a few pages back but did it? Their pair appeared to sell bc only one pair at 5750 shows up now and the 6000 pair disappeared. What others are saying is that they hide the more expensive inventory. That appears to be true.

What's sad is the people who are getting into sneakers these days aren't getting into them for the love of the shoes. They are getting into it because they see a way to make money. This market that nike has created takes all the enjoyment and fun out of the sneaker culture for the people who actually love the shoes. Ive sold some of my shoes that I don't wear before but am by no means a reseller, but if you buy a pair of these with nothing but intentions to sell them, I strongly believe you are part of the problem and I strongly believe resell talk should be banned from these threads.

Orders got cancelled, so its very likely that they get put back up.
Or nike ships them to an outlet.

Let's all hold hands and sing kumbyah too while we're at it. Sneaker culture has been dead for 3 years now. It ain't coming back unless a market crash was to happen. And how is that possible given that it's only growing? Eventually at least the low end of the market will give way and resellers will back off. But reselling for 2500, or 3500 or 5500... don't matter. This shoe is off the charts stupid and people paying it only bolster the reseller market, not those tossing a pair up. Those people paying those prices make it unsafe for me to own a pair and wear them out in the city. So why wouldn't I sell mine? And for the record I bought my own size. I could have rocked them. But it made zero sense. At the end of the day I'm a human being who was raised to make smart decisions. If someone is going to make a poor one and I did nothing illegal or immoral to convince them to do so? My win. Smarter people win. Sneakers have proven to be by and large for people who make poor life decisions, precisely why resellers not only exist but thrive.

clearly. why do you think they're so popular in the hood? If you're on section 8 housing you have no business buying not just one but monthly pairs of $175 shoes. And yet those are many of the very people trying to live above their means and often trying to flip pairs on the weekend to keep stunting above their means.
Many dudes wrap up their ego in their shoe collection too. It's all over social media. Insecure people paying whatever it takes to feel important.
Those are stupid people making poor life decisions. Is it really that difficult to see why this shoe is a huge draw? It's the poor man's dream shoe screaming out in bright red.

Haha you think successfully reselling sneakers makes you smart? You think that's thriving? Don't make me ******* laugh. Is that a living for you. Does that provide for a family. Get a real job. Get a degree. I'll get my pair. I have a degree in engineering. I can afford that, and guess what... I'll still be thriving much more than you are. You think your smarter then me cause you make a couple grand a year reselling? Let me give you some advice. Put your energies elsewhere. Read a book, study something, you will come out much more flush in the end. But back to my point, this thread and forum should not be a place for people to talk about how they sold their shoes to pay a few monthly payments on their 1998 civic payments or ask what the safest way to do this is. This thread should be for the people who legitimately enjoy the design and the culture of the shoes. Unfortunately, it seems like very few of those types of people got their hands on this shoe....

I have heard of a few resellers who actually make substantial amounts of money, but your typical day to day reseller can't make enough to support themselves.

Are you kidding me bro? You don't know a thing about me. As I said, I don't resell sneakers on the regular. I have a bachelors and masters from a top 10 business school and I'm an IT manager at one of the nicest private universities in the country. I'm not loaded, but I'm someone with a home, car, career, etc. I have my stuff together. I'm not a professional reseller, nor did I make one reference to being that.
Nike is the reason people didn't get pairs. As Kanye himself said the other night. Kanye saying that is a joke in and of itself. It's just another scheme. Get them over to adidas to go crazy over a GR since they're now paying Kanye GR type of money to make their brand move shoes. But I digress... the point is that Nike only released 2k pairs of these and the others perhaps in even fewer quantities to generate hype. This is a shoe that is made to create the reselling atmosphere, not make huge profits for the company directly. Only sheep don't get that paying resell on these and feeding into the hype harms everyone's ability to purchase sneakers in the future.
My energies? I was taking a dump at 10 AM on Sunday when I scored my pair. I'll gladly turn my turds into a 5K upgrade. As I said earlier in the week, I've been collecting shoes for 20 years. I'm sick of this game, yet I'm still here. So are you. So is everyone here. Me personally? I don't play that game. I wouldn't pay more than $250 for a pair of sneakers, let alone $2K or $3K or $5K. So yeah, I did the smart thing and made a 5K decision to the better, that I'll use for better, more valuable things. Anyone valuing these shoes at 5K is just part of the problem, not me for taking advantage of it.
