This too.
I never said it was new but it has increase dramatically over the last 10 years. I see people now walk in the store, cop, walk out and try to sell to those in the line for double. thats foreign to me.
I agree with the notion that if you really want it, you have to put in work. that's why I buy all of my new releases in store and camp gauged on hype. If it's something I don't think is worth of camping or I lose the raffle, I move on. But I live around a lot of sneaker spots, some who get large quantities of big releases but everyone has that accessibility so I was thinking more out the box. Some live in South Dakota and states or have jobs which prevent them from camping.
Lmao. NYC isnt as dangerous as it used to be. I started witnessing like 3 years and I was like WTF. And now it's worse. Ive camped for a good amount of time and I never saw that until recently.That's been happening for a long time. Maybe it's new in your area or you just notice it more now. The people that pay those prices to them just feed the lions in those scenarios. Most dudes around my way don't do that type of slander they're usually in too much of a rush to get out the mall before they get jumped.
Shoot, I remember I used to rock the new Kobe's every season for ball. They sold the 1s at modells. I remember my local ones didnt have it but they would price match some around philly. Some of them had them for $39.99. I had the option of blackouts and MPLS. Went with the MPLS. Beat those to the absolute groundYeah and for those people it's unfortunate that online releases have become such a hassle. I give props to Nike/FTL for expanding the House of Hoops brand inside the stores to spread the love to smaller states and whatnot to at least give access to them. Not to mention that it seems more Footactions are carrying Kobe's now than in the past.
I remember when the Vs dropped and I wanted USC and Dark Knights SOOO bad but access to them was limited to eBay.
It's crazy as hell how the Kobe line has turned around since it's release. Do you guys remember Kobe 1s being flooded for 49.98 and lower after release? That's when they moved them to FTL only and not until the 4 did they start to become a little more available. VI is when the madness began. The grinches really changed the game.
Me and my buddies always laugh about how the sneaker game in the state it is TODAY is solely because of Space Jams, Grinches, and South Beaches.
I'm done ranting. Back to praying for SS's
Most retailers were wary of carrying the Kobe line. In NYC, the Kobe 8's were the first Kobe to really sell fast with the exception of a few limited edition pair from past years. But it also speaks to the growth and evolution of his shoes.Yeah and for those people it's unfortunate that online releases have become such a hassle.

Resellers don't necessarily work harder. They operate as an organization, traveling in packs, rotating campout schedules for members so campers don't sit for too long. is it smarter, yes, working harder, no. Reminds me of COBRA
you have to buy bots to challenge the bots. Sound like Transformers 4
Should be but isn't. It's rare to see an individual reseller. They're operations now. Soon they will have 401Ks and health plans
There's no 8s releasing until the end of the month. Prelude thread is that way ---->
