they are definitely still selling. Just not up to they crazy standards set by past releases. Trust me. You won't be able to find even the shoes considered a flop right now (cause they didn't sell out instantly) in a few months.

Jordan is increasing the price, making more and releasing them more frequently so of course some styles will not sell out immediately. People are broke and even resellers have limits.

Plus Yeezys been taking over:banderas:

theres a lot more competition out there:manny:

But Just because Jordans aren't sold doesn't mean people aint buying. When you see shoes sitting all thats left in most cases are the sizes nobody wears.

Ill tell you one thing LEBRONS aint been selling for a while :mjlol:

Yeah I seen Lebrons shoes online recently for a 100 dollars and less and I seen a pair of newer Lebrons at the shopping mall for only 125, and Durant's shoes are doing much worse at retail. I seen Durant's shoes at Burlington Coat Factory for only 30 bucks.:sadcam:

LeBron was never looked at as "cool", a controversial figure for sure but I dont think people aspire to be like him. Durant had the juice when he first came into the league but OKC has lost some steam, it's Westbrook's team now and Durant's been banged up.

It's a shame Steph signed with UA and not a company where people actually wear their shoes :mjlol:

Man you don't know what you talking about with most of this list unless you talking where you live at. Most of them sneaks you mentioned stayed in the stores for a minute definitely not first day sellouts. The ones any of them that aren't some special edition, 4, 5, 6, cool grey if they came out now IMO, 13, 14. All of,these have came out in the last year or two and sat for at least a month in some cases even longer.
