It will never get better until people stop buying on StockX, EBAY and Goat. It would only take 3-4 popular releases and when they are stuck with a ton of extra pairs this nonsense will stop But as you can see that will never happen. I will continue to try and get the shoes I like and will continue to be disappointed. But I will not pay resale. I am too old for this ****. I don't wear Jordans to impress people, i wear them because I like them and they take me back to when I was 14 and i got my first pair of Black Cement IV's in May of 1989. Its sad that buying shoes has turned into people trying to take advatnage of other people to make a quick buck, but it is what it is. Hope everybody that hit enjoys their shoes.
This day just keeps getting worseJus came from picking up my pair(s). I got promoted off waitlist from FTL last night, which is extremely rare for me and it was one of the farthest FTL locations I had as an option (ah! Oh well), a W is W). About a 40 minute drive and I arrive; as I'm being checked out the cashier and I are talking, she says "I see you're a size 10.5, well we have the Cardinal 3's and the patent leather black & red 1's in your size, would you care to purchase any of them?" Well...I'm sure I made the right choice
The way y’all be coming up on shoes almost sound fictional How do I get this type of luck?Jus came from picking up my pair(s).

I read (skimmed, pretty much) about a business model in the New York Times. It was a luxury handbag company I believe.
Their customers would pre-order the item. It would be made and then delivered to them. Probably after a few months. You could pre-order as many as you wanted, if you decide to. All retail price.
No crazziness with "release dates" and websites crashing.
Obviously, with the billions of merchandise Nike manufactures, this would be a huge inconvenience for them, and may not work. The numbers of pre-orders would be astronomical from a huge company like Nike. But something like this should be explored.
Yeah, been there too, thinking about how they could let people pre-order and pay 50% down, weeks or months ahead of time, and then have to wait for the product. And then make supply balance between pre-order volume and desired production volume, so there is still somewhat of an elusive element to it. But it may cut down on resell, if people can just pre-order, and if people don't care about hype. Because for me, it's not about the resell value, as I wear all of mine. And I don't care about how many other people may wear the same shoe.
