People just wanna go with the newest trend
I blame celebs (Wale, DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, Victor Cruz etc) for posting all these pics on twitter and instagram of their kicks
Kids look up to celebs and wanna do what they do and get what they get
You let these so called "sneakerheads" mind control these ignorant people.
The game is under heavy fire right now so I'm waiting it out until the storm passes over hopefully soon

I agree with you totally dnob homie I can't tell you how lame I think it is when a multi-million dollar rapper or athlete gets on twitter or instagram talkin crazy about how we need to "step our game up","They killing the game" & all these other crazy things they say. I don't even respect them as collectors because they get things for free alotta times or they get custom made sneakers..Wale lame %%% was just talking about his Prada game in 2010 now all of a sudden he's a sneakerhead..OP & alot of other heads have made a lot of good points in this thread NIKE needs to see this thread...But besides the Rappers & entertainers effin the game up other thing is the people that work in these stores thats a big problem down here in New Orleans employees at champs,footlocker etc holding shoes & not letting other people cop. I mean I understand holding a pair or two but when you letting dudes come in & buy 8 pairs in different sizes I think it's ridiculous NIKE need to send "secert shoppers" to monitor these releases because it's getting outta hand..But the resellers are def the biggest problem I been rocking Jay's since bout 93' That was my 1st pair of Jay's the Playoff VIII's back when I was in 3rd grade but I started collecting in 99'-00' & I must say back then I didn't see the ridiculous prices on ebay that I see now..You got cats selling The CDP IV's for about the same price as the 99' Black/cements& just like somebody else said "The Old Royals" sold out!!!when a odd release like that sells out now you really know it's all hype..Also this "Limited" BS is a waste of time the "Galaxy" Foamposites was a perfect example when a store gets about 12 pairs & you got 500 people outside of course it's gonna be crazy..I'm just waiting for the trend & the hype to die down so I can get back in the game hard again because I been slacking off because of all the foolishness thats been goin on..
