These fukk boys have even made it easier for the replica/fake market to :eat:
Now a days you honestly don't know what you're really spending $300 dollars on.

And one other thing. The notion that the supply is limited, that's a MYTH. Supply is abundant but they intentionally hold back supply to keep demand high. Be it on a global, national or local level companies are hoarding shoes just to maintain their value. Why else would mom and pop shoe stores charge $300 for some Jordans :mjpls: when the suggested retail value is only $175?

I've also noticed retros that are hot for that moment will experience a up tick in price and once everyone has a pair and they become played out the price drops. I got a pair of bred air flight 89's. I've seen the price be as high as $140 and as low as $79.99.
true
I got some jordan team iso's for 49.99 a year after they came out ( this was like late 2011/early2012)

felt like a damn steal :blessed:

lmao it started with white people in...2009? no offense but how old are you? because a shyt load of white people i knew, including myself, wore jordans throughout the whole 90s. everyone did. and before jordans, sneaker culture was still very much a thing with young people of all races. smfh,

if you wanna blame CACs, blame the ones AT Nike. not the ones buying it, you can start by blaming the ones in the Nike SB division. remember the "riot" in 2005 for the pigeon sb dunks at reed space?

people really werent lining up for nikes until SBs, and it was because Nike forced exclusivity, purposely not making a ton of pairs, and making store owners who wanted to stock SBs jump through a ton of hoops. nike wouldnt let places carry SBs if there was another dealer in a certain radius.

but go ahead and blame white kids for wanting the space jams in 2009. lol

i do agree that the old flight club on mercer was better.

its just the world we live in now bro. everything is hyped to death and gentrified. if i were to point a finger id point it at the follow-the-leader culture we live in that social media fosters. and also at the mis information and entitlement one must feel to think that the sneaker game really didnt take off until 2009 when a couple white boys on twitter started talking about the space jams

just because you were a wigger that wore Jz before 2009 doesnt mean all whites did, or even a majority of them.

Quality depending on how much you wanna pay. You can low or high grades. Shipping a week or two

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
What kind of return can you see with that? I been wanting to get into investing


I honestly don't know breagh. LOL! Saw @jayshiggs talmbout it in the Antman thread.


Said what the hey, might as well give it a shot (nike and disney ain't going down anytime soon, figured i can at least buy a couple shares and let it sit). I just got approved this morning after transferring the money to my account last night.


We can help eachother out on this one cuz i'm as novice as stevie wonder at an American Ninja obstacle.
