a polo store at tanger...furthering the epidemic of those out to ruin ralph lauren's name lol.
its ok though, because as said previously, man makes the clothes, clothes dont make the man.
either who...i'm all over the XIII's that are coming out. probably even trying to cop the royal blue foams coming back out(again)
btw...if my boring store gets any GR's worth having i'll keep everyone posted.

S/N: For those who have been into this Sneaker Community for a while....Can you believe the drastic changes that have occurred in the
sneaker world. All the re-re-re releases, and everything just sitting around. Most importantly the lack of quality...Speak on it please.

Okay Ryan here's my take. its amazes me how nothing sells out hardly anymore, and how releases just sit on shelves and collect dust now. I would have never imagined the game turning to a point where a sought after "GR" Jordan release comes out, and we are all in the frame of mind not to instantly cop anymore . Its more along the lines of " Sheed.. i'll wait til they hit the outlets". LOL. Economy played a role in sales not being what they once was... but FAKES messed EVERYTHING up!
I've always preached quality>quantity, and now "quality" is now an afterthought.Its just laughable honestly. OG jordans, Force Ones quality was superb. Not this flimsy leather, chipping midsole crap we are being sold now. I sat back this year, and I can count on one hand how many kicks i've bought. BTW.. I averaged about 5 kicks a month when I was buying kicks on the regular. Everything goes on sale now and or to the outlets. In short, there is no sense of urgency for pick ups anymore. Real talk. Cause they will now always linger around for the low.
I'm still gonna cop here and there, and def for my son RJ, but my stance, "what else is there left for ME to buy?" Nike is gonna retro EVERYTHING and nothing is sacred anymore. And mark my words.. they gonna creep Nike Air back on jordan retros just because "they can". "Newer" Nike releases are just average, and they a totally living off of their past. I bought the Air max 09 running shoes, and thats the first non retro Nike I bought since god knows when. Face it, the shoe game is a wrap! It will never be the same like it was in years past.
2011 will be the "same soup just reheated". Same sh-- different day.

thanks for your piece Ron: i agree with the sense of urgency whole heartedly...almost every release i have no problems passing on
and Exec: the game is like a ghetto single mother...poppin em out back to back to back from all directions. no time to think on it before another one comes out
would any others like to put their half cents in?

It's become so redundant that it's comical honestly. It makes absolutely no sense to shell out $150+ on a shoe that A) will show obvious wear & tear after 3-4 wears maximum, B) will re-release in 2-3 years, and C) can be bought at a very discounted price sometime down the line.
Here is a quick formula to explain each player in the "shoe game" right now:
1) The conscious consumer: Decreased quality + over saturation = lost interest
2) Nike/JB: Decreased quality + over saturation = more profit
3) Newbies to the shoe world: Decreased quality + over saturation = a dream come true
4) Sneaker Boutiques (a dying breed): No longer the outlet for exclusive kicks + over saturation = endangered
I use to think that this phase going on right now wouldn't affect me, because I could always find older releases that met my standards. However, most of those kicks are so old now that they're too risky to wear without the fear of them falling apart. I know a few people on here can vouch for me and say that buying an expensive pair of old kicks only for them to crumble in front of your eyes is not a very fond thought.
I'll always love Nike/JB deep down in my heart, but it's going to take something drastic for them to climb back from the pits of it.
Oh, and the occasional good quality release is usually a pain to get because it's limited and carries a ridiculous price tag.

Jordan packages, too many releases, everybody wanting to be a "shoe head"...
2005-2007 - great years - AF1, Jordan, Dunk SB were all great releases & I think everybody can agree that those years were cool - releases & no "wanna be" shoe heads.
Everybody & their mom wants to go to a boutique & cop whatever Lil' Wayne is wearing & knows nothing about the shoe.
When the space jams came out, people who don't even know why they're nicknamed that were trying to cop.
People taking pics with basic GR's from FNL/FL/FA putting "sneakerhead" in the pic, like they're doing it...SMH.
Shoe collecting from '04-'07 = Myspace from '04-'07. It was cool while it lasted, but it's time to move on...

The DB III's are $125 so that could be a sign of things to come seeing as they normally retail higher than other releases...but who knows
The mesh definitely looks better than the leather on the Altitudes but I never saw the hype behind those.

^ If I remember correctly, the Altitudes was one of the first LS releases. Slap a limited tag on em and they sell. LOL.
I sold my 2 pairs a few years ago. smh. I actually like the new look, i'm with Stan.
Something to buy finally? We shall see.
