It's simple economics, guys. The paltry amount of dollars Canadian sneakerheads would generate isn't worth the bother. That's also why we don't get anything nice anymore – it just doesn't sell in the numbers they feel justify sending it here in the first place.
Not hatin', just 'splainin'. Trust me. I feel y'alls pain. But with the number of sites that frequently get great stuff (sneakerhead.com, pickyourshoes.com), if you really want something it's pretty easy to get. And those sites are generally cheaper than Eastbay and NDC (though not always).
And both those providers usually don't end up getting dinged at the border (in my experience, at least. Eastbay is a whole 'nother matter).
On the plus side, rocking stuff that's only available stateside means you're less likely to see somebody wearing the same joints.
