repped. for being a fan, yet keeping it real!!!QFT- We are our own worst enemy. Stop creating all this artificial hype, Nike and the resellers have caught on. Nike adjusted release numbers and resellers will buy multiples, driving up prices.
I look back at the Kobe V Inks, which I see as a similar colorway, and the response in the thread was positive, alot of folks wanted to cop, some said they would cop multiples, etc. But that was a different day. I guarantee those were produced in larger quantities than the 8's. Even with that hype back then, I copped a pair of Ink V's from the outlets (which had TONS of the for MONTHS) for 49.99 and a pair at rugged warehouse for 34.99.
Nike isn't making the same mistakes again it made with the V's by overproducing. They are now better at reading the hype and adjusting production. Less pairs made, and more sold at retail= better and more efficient profits.
All you dummies saying "oooh im coping 24 pairs, because Kobe wears 24 and I am a Stan" and "purple Fades>every jordan ever" etc, kill yourselves.
