This is so true. Been getting a lot of ”hyped” shoes from a local boutique lately only because I visit often and talk to one of the employees about mostly clothes and also shoes sometimes. I didn’t even go to the shop with that in mind, I just thought it was nice to have a chat with one of the guys. He started by sorting me with the SW 97/1 and been getting OW x Nike, Kiko Asics and other hyped stuff just for being a regular who wear my shoes and he knows it. I bought a lot of clothes at the shop before and he recognized my email so it’s kind of like a ”VIP” treatment for being a loyal and social customer.
Never ASKED to get any shoe before he brought it up by saying ”hey you’re a nice dude and you support us so let me fix the SW’s for you for retail”.
there's a resell store in my city that's kinda like round two that i go to just like this... i love chopping it up with people who know the history behind stuff & have a passion for it like me.
