RETRO SHOES POPULARITY WILL DECLINE DRASTICALLY IN 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR FROM NOW.

[shoecollector75]

Naaaaaah.

Man these companies (not including JB) haven't even scratched the SURFACE of the **** they STILL have in the vaults.

Think about all the ill **** we want that hasn't seen the light of day.

Hell... think about the stuff that's been butchered that we'd snatch up on sight if it were done right *cough*DT MAX*cough*.

If what you're saying actually were to happen then the **** would REALLY hit the fan because MOST of this new **** is dead wack.

I agree a lot of this new **** is really wack because around 5 or 6 years ago I could not stand what I was seeing in most shoe stores. Now the flood of retros has crooked shoe store managers making at least an extra $10,000 on the side. LMAO.

 

[Magic33]

I laughed at this in 2008 and I'm laughing at the thought in 2014

They will just RTV them for outlets and still make a profit.

 

[beh235]

What has been retroed cannot be unretroed

 

[Tigron]

 Another example is the white foams, Phoenix foams and royal/grey foams because a lot of people purchased them because they thought it would be the gotta have it foamposite and now they are trying to sell them for retail or less.

If you can find me those for retail, we can be best friends.

im actually in da interesting position that things i that love happens to go on sale so i dont gotta worry about lines these days.

 

[bigdirty978]

I miss the old days. I remember going to work on Saturday mornings, get out around 3pm, head to the sneaker spot and still was able to cop a pair in my size with no problems. Nowadays I gotta go through the gauntlet just to obtain a pair. And lets not mention prices! S*** is heinous

You miss out on nearly every release anyway

The bubble will burst at some point, but not in the next 6 months.

And, frankly, the market isn't that inflated for a lot of stuff. People always think they're collections are worth a ton, and then they try to sell them and realize it's a lot harder to get what you think you can.

Yep.  People really don't realize that like any hot item, if you wait out that initial wave, you can get what you want at decent prices.  Unless you're going after nothing but the most limited shoes in the market...in that instance, grow a money tree.

 

[7th Chamber]

Nah. The LeBron line will start to retro soon and I imagine they'll do retro + color ways for those. Same thing with the Nike Kobe line. With JB, they can re-release bred 11s this holiday season AGAIN and they'll sell out. Plus, they're just gonna re-release their retro + color ways to no end. Toro Bravo 4s and Fear Pack coming again in 2023.

 

[RustyShackleford]

The Foam bubble will pop

 

[sthebest]

The Foam bubble will pop

it already has

 

[sthebest]

what will come to a boiling point are Jordans selling out. theyre already pushing it by charging $160. $170 will be a tough pill to swallow. I predict that there will only be a few sellouts next year, such as the Black Infrared 6s, Carmines, and possibly more. the Jumpman hype is dyeing out FAST

 

[7th Chamber]

^ That's good IMO.

 

[joaridran23]

Imo......it will get more and more hyped. I hate that is how it will be. I'm an older head and I remember the days of going whenever and picking up my shoes. Sadly tho this is not ending anytime soon. I'm one of the few who voted in the "become more popular" section.

 

[sikwiidit04]

It doesn't matter.
the "game" has new members everyday ready to purchase retros.

 

[alwaysfishing8o8]

J's been going down now in my area. Everyone rocking Lebron's, KD's and other non J's. They said that J's played out already

 

[jordan2233]

maybe people who actually remember jordan when he played are the ones who will keep buying j's and all the other hypebeasts can buy all the other stuff. most people who buy j's never even seen mike play a game before, that defeats the whole meaning of them to me.

 

[1c3m4m]

to me I think its a setup to introduce later retros in abut a year XVI's and up, public will eat up em up

 

[the 718 truth]

It's never going to die down. It's the nature of the game now, as long as there are hypebeasts and resellers. Idk where some of you guys are located but I live in NY and everything sells out. Except for clover 1's and crimson 3's lol

 

[stayblunted]

When **** hits the fan in this country which will be soon people will stop paying top dollar for shoes, so I say if your in now squeeze as much juice as you can now before it's done

That logic has and never will make sense bro.
