Fusions fly off shelves because people allowed JB to muscle them into paying $150 for an in-house bootleg of retros. Times have changed; just because it's the flagship shoe doesn't certify that a model will sell. In the past seven years, the XX3s have been the only shoe to achieve true success and quick liquidation. Can't even count the XX's because it was really only one color and a "QS" that people bought because they thought it was limited. Basically, you have a large population that refuses to buy Team Jordans because they aren't "real Jordans", but will pay $135-$160 for mash ups and take downs of previous models. Irony at its finest, IMO.
That's the truth right there. It's the ignorant trend hoppers, hypebeasts & people with just poor taste ingeneral that've allowed us to get fleeced royally by Nike/JB.
As consumers we can only speak with wallets and really and truly, if you're affected by a recession, shoes should be the furthest thing from yourmind.

So I don't wanna hear about price because most NT'ers don't care about price matters anyway.

Thats the thing. The 23s were. These are. They shouldn't have put these past $165. And I wonder how many of those new fusions sold. Those are really crappy.
i wouldn't call it muscling because as a consumer, you have a choice. you and i may not like the fusions, but that's our personal taste. there are kids out there that live for them.Originally Posted by d e beatup

most collectors are more selective, but others who are just starting or aren't collectors at all will cop these for $190 with a smile.
for me, ez pass on the whites but gotta see the blacks in person before i decide.

The realest stuff you ever wrote.Originally Posted by KEARSE15
you're not paying for the shoe, your paying for the millions of dollars Nike/JB spends to advertise, promote, and endorse the brand....
