Do you think the surprise drop meant that resell values will be lower?
I’m by no means an expert in reselling but I think that the surprise drop will have the opposite effect. When release dates are announced ahead of time, it gives resellers a chance to figure out how to get maximum quantities. I’m guessing that because of the surprise, less pairs fell into resellers’ hands. This relative scarcity can only drive the price up. Add to that the fact that these are probably some of the most hyped-up shoes in the history of footwear and you’ve got a recipe for ridiculous resale prices.
