If Vanessa couldn't even convince Nike to change up the bs limited hype model, then what makes you think NT can? I get the sentiment of "lets all refuse to pay the resellers and they'll have to bring their prices down," but it'll never happen across the board. At what point do you draw the line? 20 over retail, 50 over retail, 100 over retail? There's always gonna be people caving at a price they find reasonable and then that'll leave the "retail or bust" crew without the shoe. For some, that's perfectly fine since there's always another pair in the future.
It’s possible to mobilize NT to stop buying from resellers. Heck, look at what r/wallstreetbets managed to do with GME. Mind you, getting 25X your investment will give anyone more will power vs being able to cop a pair of shoes at retail.
With that being said, I’ve only purchased off resellers twice in the 20+ years of buying shoes. It’s not that difficult to do, IMO.
