$160 is a markup above the MSRP I believe.

Naw, dudes will pay crazy inflated prices for ugly collabs solely based on hype but won't pay retail for clean GR's

You're one to talk bro lol. You never wanna pay retail for anything. Am I wrong?
Nah man I ain't paying retail for a pair I can get on discount if I'm patient.

I know man I'm just joking. If I waited Id prolly miss out on the deal. So I figured I would grab them now.
Also A lot of us don't have connections like you or live in an area where you can physically walk into a shop.

Yeah man it's not bad to pay retail for a gr but I just try not too.. And it's not like you need connections to get grs for under retail.

Yeah I guess not. No biggie though. if these get down to like $50 on disco then I'll feel bad for my purchase. Otherwise im cool with it.

I'm not talking about me, but rather the general belief among so-called sneakerheads that only limited release collabs are worth the MSRP, whereas a clean GR is not because it's not hyped. Regarding my personal purchases, you're correct. I almost NEVER pay retail for any shoe, collab or not. That also means I end up missing out on a lot of releases and buying way less sneakers than I used to. Ironically, the last kicks I paid over retail for were the Diadora Italias and the quality was so disappointing compared to the price I paid that it helped me realize I'll never pay reseller prices again.

^ I think it has more to do with GRs bring so plentiful that 99% of the time you will be able to get them on discount. And with collabs, you kinda have to strike while the iron is hot and pay that inflated MSRP to make sure you don't pay even higher resell prices later. At least that's how I see it.
Everyone is free to spend their money how they see fit, but in this age of a majorly over-saturated sneaker market and rising MSRPs, I think it's foolish to pay retail for any GR (unless you just HAVE to have them now). They always go on sale somewhere.

Cncpts has a lot of sizes of the beige sheep sold out at $160. I think it's a possibility that they sell out in a lot of places and are tough to get on disco but we will see.
