Essential BRAD PIFF'S SNEAKER THREAD

[skb1065]

Many backers are asking about extra books. I have had over 800 email requests since the second print run. Initially, there were many sneaker boutiques/retailers who set up book signings. I had a book signing tour set up across the country. However, port issues and delays overwhelmed my time. So I decided to put these books up for those who missed out. I also ordered extra soft cover books as well. Last, I'm finishing up on an amazing poster project. I will have two posters that archive and display practically every Air Jordan sold. I will have a Kickstarter in a week or two for softcover, remaining hardcovers, and posters soon.

I saw the update also, I wonder how much profit he's making off this. Seems like a big hassle from the emails he's sent out. I need to update my shipping address too.

u guys ever went on FCNY and see how much they're charging for some of the shoes u got at retail in your size?

Jordan 3 88: I paid $400 for 2 pairs. They want $765 for ONE.

Jordan 11 Bred: I paid $370 for 2 pairs. Rape for a 3rd ($360). They want $615 for one.

Jordan 13 Playoff: I paid $160. They want $515.

Jordan 1 Royal: I paid $630 for 2 pairs. I sold 2 pairs to pay that price. They want $965 for one.

Jordan 11 Concord low: I paid the $150 x2. They want $400 for one.

I know these are popular models, they're super established but damn, $965 is my rent. $615 is my car insurance, lights, cable AND student loan payments.

Just a thought lol.

Those prices added together is $3260, 5 pairs. My price was $2220, 10 pairs. Sorry guys doing accounting homework, just fukking with numbers....

FC known to do that bullshyt because New York got a large sneaker and hipster community full of fuccbois they know will pay top dollar for re-releases that aint even OG

part of it is also the re-sale value too but putting a sub-pair of air jordans released in late 2000's retail 170 for 4-500 shows theres a special place in hell for these fags that work at these sneaker retailers

I remember one of the guys that works at a champs here...always got different shoes on....he has a "Real" job as well driving beer trucks i believe. this nikka said he DROVE TO FLORIDA and paid $400 for 88 3s a week or 2 after he dropped.

Lets not get too excited, I don't want to be a negative Nancy but Jay turned a great idea into shyt with poor execution

1) Jordan pictures, a lot of picture, but a lot of bad ones. Using sheets of paper as backdrops and seeing the taped sheets of paper or falling over backdrops in a professional book that over $60k was raised to make?

2) TONS of spelling/grammer issues all through the book, including labeling all the jordan XXIII's as XXII's. This didnt bother me as much as some of the other backers, but some where saying you cant even read through the first 2 pages, its that bad.

3) Completely screwing up the backers who paid extra to have their pics in the book, 0 time was put into the 4 page collage he made, a lot of people are missing their picture they paid for, others complained because a blind person must have made the collage, a lot of peoples submitted picture is unrecognizable, even some had their heads and feet cut off with other pics on top of them. This part bothered me the most because you specifically had people paying extra for this option and most of them got screwed.

4) Backers were supposed to get their picture, a shoutout and signed copies for the extra money, none of the books were signed.

5) The date changed 4 times for delivery, tracking numbers didnt work for over a month. A lot of people backed this project as a Christmas gift (the first date was a week before Christmas) a lot of people didn't even get their book yet and its mid March.

It just seems his eyes were a tad to big on this project where he didnt plan it out correctly or allocate the proper amount of time to get it done right.
