absolutely true. I swear saw those recently release Cut colorway like the one yesterday being sold by a reseller a month before Nike did. point is, Nike sell by bulks to resellers before they drop to shops that sell to us consumers by the piece. it is no different from what gpu manufacturers are doing by selling their gpus to miners and putting aside retail.I think resellers do play some role in it though. I don’t think it’s obvious that production numbers on the cuts were any lower than the runs, the cuts just had way more demand. The cuts on court performance and the fact that they’re filling in the gap that Kobe’s left behind made demand shoot way up. And wherever the demand goes, resellers flock there too.
