That's good for some people though. I for example, prefer the older retros, over the new ones.
The few exceptions are the older retros that yellow and crack.
People who don't appreciate the fact that older retros are getting bought, are the resellers trying to sell their 2009-2010 inventory

There is most certainly a paradigm shift in the demand and quality for Nike Air Jordans, per se.
Because of Ebay, i was able to capitalize on many of sought-after releases from a few years back
at retail (hovering, either slightly below or above, but not too extreme).
I got out the game for a little over half a decade (2002-07, and before getting back into the game
with the inception of the countdown packs, the last jordan i purchased were the black and silver
low VI's on release).
And i know that during this stint, a lot of heat dropped and suddenly, the CDP frenzy came
underway and with it... the certainly deliberate and immediately obvious decline in quality
(althought i can't speak for any of the marquee releases in between my sabbatical from JB, but
for instance, my OG Taxi 12's vs. the CDP 12's... prominent disparity in workmanship and material
off the bat).
But hey... it is what it is. They still profit regardless if the shoes are pushing like keys in the whip
or not.
To be honest, from an observational standpoint, i see it everywhere i go. Back during my early
20's, i'd go out and see a bevy of cats, young/old rocking J's with their fits. Perhaps, it's a generational
thing or basketball sneakers have lost their niche and appeal... but you don't run into the kind of
donning frequency as yesteryear (i was very keen on noticing these things cuz i wasn't able to stunt
like other cats in the club - hence, being a broke college student will do that to ya. SMH at LOL).
Nowadays, with my job, although nothing to brag or be opulent about.. allows me to relive what i
used to yearn for during my tweens.
Feel somewhat like a doosh bag at the gym for always going so hard on the new kicks, givin' em TNS
as i flex my glutes, but hey:
I buy shoes to wear... not stare... Word to Yogi Bear.

Sneakers are like stocks, sometimes they're up sometimes there down... Quality & over saturation is a big factor though...

i've noticed this with ebay. dudes either want rediculous amounts for their shoes and think that they can determine the market value. they list stuff at high prices, it sits and it continues to sit and they wonder why no one wants their stuff.
dudes will list low and schill bid their auctions so that every week you'll get an email saying "your watched item has been relisted"
or the seller will do things the old fashion way, list an item and let the market determine it's worth and that item can usually be had for a reasonable price.
