Whoop there it is. I mean standing in line, killing over some wack ass shoes. To add insult to injury it's a black man's brand who can't even stand black people. :mjlol: I don't give shyt about his version of white guilt with "I can no longer be silent" bullshyt. Ghetto black folks need to really stop obessing over materialistic shyt and focus on how to succeed in life. The story below reminds me of old school parenting. Constructive punishment, but it was positive and the kids loved it so now they are doing it all the time. I had to donate myself. Love seeing shyt like this.

I'd rather wear running sneakers than Jordan. they are much more comfortable and look better with jeans/chino. If you want to take my outfit to another level, I'd rock designer sneakers

Popular Jay's sell out in seconds.

Another reason is cause Nike raised the price point to compete with the resale market.

They are also producing more.

If they don't sell out then they go to a Nike outlet and Nike has no middleman, so this discount would be what they would be getting from footlocker anyway.

Shoes sellout cause of availability. Yeezy sells cause they don't make that many.

You can buy air forces every year of every month, you don't think they can do that with every shoe? It's a game and y'all being played.

Exclusive :stopitslime:

Why you think I stopped? I used to be a massive sneaker head... Had all the coveted Jay's from 1-4. SB's too. Resellers and Nike going full retard is what stopped me and had me unloading my collection. Make up some dumb name, make them super limited and jack up the price. That's how they artificially generate hype for a crap product. Not gonna sleep in line for days to pay for some expensive shoes made in China for $2.

Fly knits are more comfortable,understated and go on sale. No hype and easily available.

Also can't stand the stupid jumpman plastered everywhere especially on the OG colour ways. Scust

Man you running with an old excuse regarding the sellouts for the most part. Hell even with the jumpman they starting to put the nike air back on them.

It's a tried and true tactic. Exclusivity generates hype.
