Brehs, can we talk about the sneaker game for a minute?

Got two pair incoming.........I got the highs for my son cause I didn't really care for them...but the lows are real nice on this drop....and IMO better...
I was trying to cop two myself because they look nice, but that resale value is nice too. I'm trying to get my driveway paid off. I ain't connected though so I'm not going to try that hard for them.

It’s been like this for some years now, I’ll say it got worse around 2016-17. You now had straight suburban cacs getting hip and they actually had money to spend to do backdoors or connections, rather than us regular brehs.
Then insert Travis Scott who just out of nowhere became the influencer for streetwear. One pic of him wearing dunks and since then it was on. I remember selling my papa dunk bears for like 350 in like 9/10 condition. Now I checked stock x and shyt was going for like 3 grand to 4 grands. I sold so many rare dunks for what would be considered the “ low “ now.
But in the end, if you don’t have a connection or bots, then it’s just luck you have in your corner lol it’s really bad to the point that gr dunks are gone in seconds lol.

Glad I don’t gotta buy none of this obnoxiously overpriced hype beast shyt just to get fly.
imagine putting money in scumbags like Kanye west,Jordan or Travis Scott’s pockets just to impress people.

Bruh I’m sick… I tried to get at least half of those and took an L on every one
Might cough up and pay resale for the 700 Suns

Games been fukked up like somebody above said, the mid 2000’s is when I really noticed a shift. That was when you couldn’t just walk in a store and get shyt in whatever size anymore. I try to stay off the beaten path and not rock what everyone else got. Makes it easier to find shyt and makes you stand out more than the next man with the same old hypebeast yeezys or the Johnny come lately who just started wearing AF1’s last year.
isn’t that the regular priceshyt is gay… I had to pay damn near $250 for the all white 12’s that just came out.
Before the pandemic I was eating off colorways nobody wanted.
only buy retro if u never had it...
i rarely go backwards when it comes to jordans because I had em all..i could careless about the colorway..some of them same colorways that are coming out now..were considered wookies in 2003-2007
jordans in the 30s now...n I haven't missed yet.. I'm waiting on the 36 like a fiend now...
air max 97 u can nike id it...so I jus come up with my own shyt...

Luckily I never need to purchase another sneaker in my life, my stash is quite solid 
That being said, I refuse to deal with cacs and asians in anything sneaker related. I wont even have conversations about sneakers with them
They cant tell me shyt bout kicks or anything fashion related

When I went to work for my first hedge fund years ago, that’s all the cats did in between work was buy up all the new release sneakers and resell the shyt. All cacs and asians. Even had my ass get in on it and I ain’t even a sneaker head.
It wasn’t just sneakers though, it was anything that was limited release, burning man, coachella, watches, etc.

Nah they dropped at $190… most I ever payed for some J’s before the pandemic was $210 and that’s because I was pressed.isn’t that the regular price
I got these off the clearance rack at Finish Line 2 years ago for $150.
