Not the frag lows but the OG field jaxx can be had for below retail with code REV15 in some respectable sizes

Yeah thats what i figured. Dudes behimd the scene bidding to resellers to back door lol

the floor price aka the price from team travis to resellers has dropped from like $1800 to $800 per pair over the past month or so. So when resellers are asking for $1500 theyre still eating good. hopefully that margin keeps getting smaller
 
When your Pop got his own building at Nike you probably have access to literally any Nike shoe you want. Also why it’s weird to see him and Bronny do Sneaker Shopping episodes

It's because these folks are out of touch. I hate to be that guy but 90% of these cats/youtubers/etc are not in touch with the culture of getting fly. All this stuff is some gamification nerd stuff for these folks. Like who the hell sees Dj Khaled bamma self getting free Jordans and say "damn I need to cop".

This is why nike is getting left behind.
 
Sneaker gentrification…Let’s just call it what it is…

Most of these people don’t even care about sneakers and some of them will even come right out and say that…

i wouldn't say Nike is getting left behind but their instance to hitching their waggons to the complex/sneaker media sphere instead of tapping into and developing a grassroots sneaker culture is a huge part of their issues imo. the switch from the mom and pop neighborhood model to the tier 0 model is why they can't find sustained "cultural" success. Its like ever move they make is trying to tailor influence the complex article or tweet that will be made about it.

i could go on about this lol

Lemme put on my hater cap for a second. Seeing people who aren't into sneaker culture buying the most hyped up expensive sneakers to wear just because it's hot and because they have the money to do so is so corny.

I guess we saying the same thing. I went to Complexcon this year and it just felt corny as hell lol. Like IdK because I was in the NT trenches for all these years + was more into getting fly rather than treating sneaks like Pokemon but I just see the moves and think to myself like who thinks this is cool? Who is like "wooooah they making it so damn hard to get these so they gotta be fly".

I`m still sick at hybepeast even becoming a media company when it was a derogatory term lol and cool kicks being legit (I guess) think now when it was a literal Chinese Fake site back in the day.

This could be a semantic thing but "Sneaker Culture" is the problem. Most of us wanted to look good, and sites like NT/Ebay/ISS gave those of us not in your NYC/LA the ability to tap in with like minded people and get access to things not in our region in order to get fly and stand out. For me at least Getting Fly is an extension/part of Hip Hop Culture. Even when camping out back in the day, we wore our stuff (like the goal was to wear stuff). When the botting stuff got huge I wasn't posting on here like that anymore, but I still copped stuff, but the stuff now that I am referring to is more of the fake chaos creation and giving no swag celebs stuff free thinking it means anything. Like its one thing if there was a set date and time, and sites crashed or things sold out instantly lol but this whole "yeah slaves keep refreshing your screen and I might bless you with a checkout link even though everything has been backdoored to my friends" stuff is lame

you're right and nike has spent the last decade making that "culture" the center of their brand strategy and as much as i like the shoes, Travis is one of the main faces of that fleeting culture. this is also why i dont personally believe travis scott/catcus jack will ever be scalable partnership. that and everything his team does is to extract every dollar out of the brand that they can.

yeah Travis is hitting a lick so it's whatever on that side, Nike though just seems to be run by idiots in the sense of what is the negative or just doing a regular *** release for these shoes even if the QTY numbers a less than the standard GR?
