Again, use one store selling out of Jordans in attempt to discredit the threads premise
Lmao....it wasn't just one store though....
I wouldn't cop and nobody I know would cop. I mean unless you flipping them at Flight Club or EBay

But it hasnt though....lol @ trying to discredit Matt Powell...this cac is always right when it comes to this shyt....and for the record I rock adidas as well but they are not more cool or trendy....especially in the streets......I had a talk with a Nike employee and he said the exact same thing I said.
Yeezy with adidas has been a big boostin sales and popularity for adidas and the effect isn't measurable for guys like Matt Powell
it's more of a style thing.
Nike will always do more numbers
But adidas is more cool/trendy
Just go look on the streets and social media
Edit: for example....I was rocking Jordan Shattered back board 1's a few days ago....this bruh who just happened to be walking by me wanted to feel the leather on these....so I let him....that never happens when I rock adidas....
Nobody wears fukking Adidas.I had a talk with a Nike employee and he said the exact same thing I said.

The Yeezys are only popular because of the resell value and people just want to flaunt like they have money. They originally sold for 200 and people resell over close to a 1,000 dollars. A bunch of celebrities and "get money" or wannabe "get money" nikkas cop them and stunt on IG with them. That's not bringing Adidas any money. That's resell money going to the original purchaser you put them shyts on Ebay. Does nothing for Adidas.

Nothing is changing...
I still can sell my shyt at a crazy markup...
Jordan sales been slumping because the coloways the last 4-5 months been straight ass...Only hot pair to drop was the aqua 8s and those always been hit or miss...Even the 11s that just dropped, I passed on them because the colorway is ass IMO...If it was concords/jams/bred rest assured you would of had chaos on the streets again...
Next year they're dropping BC3s and WC4s with the Nike Air...those joints will be selling out within minutes...guaranteed...

Bruh....I KNOW it wasn't just one store in NYC that was sold out of J's.
....that shyt was world wide....even the asians go hard as fukk for these....
That white poser bytch reporting probably never owned a pair in her life.
Complex used to have a certain coolness about back in the day. Now they're just a bunch of try-hards.
If you're black and take them serious, you should re-evaluate your life.

no doubt. I use to be into them HEAVY when I was in high school 00-04 but once I graduated, I just started rocking slip on's and casual shoes. Down here in Jax, I see more of the younger gen into J's more so than the older heads.

Amen. You couldn't have been more right about the Yeezys breh. Also, with them being so limited, it made it VERY difficult for people to cop ..and if people can't cop, you can't make money.
..and all of the shoes complex showed sitting on the shelves/online were some TRASH colorways on silhouettes that aren't in demand.
Lets see them find me a pair of Shattered Backboard 1s, UNC 1s on shelves lol ..

This shyt is a cycle. People say Jordan is played. Next thing you know you can buy you a couple pairs low key. Next thing you know a pair drops chaos happen next thing you know you can't find them no where.
Got damn Bred 1 release fukked me up from getting the Royals 1
But those price increases are ridiculous 190 for the Chrome 8 nah . But I bet you those will sell out
.
Ass colorways will stop sales too. Look at the Foams earlier in the year before they started dropping heat again.

Sneakerheads got some heat next year
