Why are Nike Dunks almost $200

[Wig Twistin Season]

Pay $200 for Dunks when Fire Red 3s with “NIKE AIR” on the back are available for $200 brehs.

when did this happen?

The fukk

And the Air Penny’s $256 in my size
They smoking freebase like it’s ‘86 with those prices

Retail is $100.

The bubble has burst. OG jordan threes just dropped and didn’t sell out immediately. Dunks won’t be re selling high for long

I was at Aurora Mall today...and I saw two of those sneaker consignment stores I saw all the time living in NYC and it made me happy I was out of the sneaker game.

You see a place like flight club or stadium goods works because you have multiple people selling pairs of sneakers to them, so you can get a pair of sneakers you want in your size. you might pay out the a** for them, but you can get them in your size.

At these stores? Nah.
Only Jordans and Dunks that have been released in the past 4-5 years. That every other sneaker consigment store has.
If you see a pair you want? They probably only got them in a 7.5 or a 13.
But they can direct you to a pair of sneakers probably twice as expensive in your size you don't want.
And theyll have something very wack as a grail in a case like some SBs from 2011 when they took out the fat tongues.

And they all have the same stuff.
Bearbricks? Check.
Supreme skateboard decks for 10 times the original retail? Check.

Yall can keep this new sneaker game.

shyt like this is why I'll never truly invest in the "wardrobe game". I had no idea Dunks was 200.

 

[ThiefyPoo]

That feeling of walking into a skate shop and copping a pair of limited joints at retail in the mid-late 00's

Breh you still had to wait in line lol . A skate shop may have 10 lol . You couldn’t just wake up and then omg they got my size . Depending on the release sure I’ll give you that but some hot shìt nahh still a line . Going on line was a greater chance for sure !!!

Waves and cycles. Dunks are already at critical mass when they fall out of favor you won't be able to give em away.

This is a fact !!!

Before Travis started the wave over no one really cared about dunks lol .

hit on the Argons exclusive access today on SNKRS $130 is still too high for dunks tho.

 

[⠀X ⠀]

Everything is going up. I spent $20 at McDonald’s the other day. The last time I went, 2 years ago, I got the same thing for like $14

White people discovered Dunks and Air Forces a few years ago and fukked up the game lol.

man, i swear everytime I see those beat up white af1's that's tied up too tight it breaks my heart

what's funny is they haven't found out that you're supposed to go a half size down making it look crazier

Lol very true when I was growing up white people didn't know what dunks and air forces were now every other white girl I see are rocking them. Frankly I never ever saw black women rocking dunks back then only air forces.

wardrobe game".

That’s why I started this thread
Getting farther into my 30s and needed more quality clothing

That demo has been on dunks for 20+ years.

And hypebeasts have no race. The masses caught on to dunks. That includes everyone from casuals to sneaker heads.

Nah, when cacs became hypebeasts en masse around 3-4 years ago, that's when the game got fukked up. And once cacs normalized hypebeastiality, other swagless groups like Indians started being fuccbois too.

Cacs had bots to buy up all the limited releases and normalized inflated FlightClub resale prices. Before, FlightClub was overpriced because it catered to rappers, athletes and celebrities. Before, you could always go to eBay for much cheaper resale prices. Now sky high resale is unavoidable for many Nikes.

Cacs gentrified the sneaker game. Asians been known for being hypebeasts since the term was coined on the early 2000's, but nobody who was actually into sneaks and knew the game was paying Inflated prices until about 2019ish, and after the lockdowns in 2020, it was a wrap.

Resale used to be like $50 over retail for most shoes. The shoes that had high resale were like the Galaxy Foams, the Playstation Air Force 1's, the patent leather AF1 Lebron series etc. And only rappers wore shyt like that... or maybe super hypebeast nikkas in NYC, LA, the Bay etc.

Now you see white boys in suburban areas with standard Supercuts whiteboy fades wearing the highest resale kicks to go to Costco and shyt.

 

[Stir Fry]

Old age got me moving away from my beloved air maxes. Copped some York athletic leather henrys the other week and got some koio retro runners coming in the mail saturday. The only nike sneakers i can probably see myself copping these days are some Pre’s if any new colorways drop that im interested in.

Man I was working for and flipping kicks in the early 2000's i got out the game in 07

I was there when white kids discovered what sb's were and they were a new thing. Had to tell their parents to go to the skate shop not hit up Nike town. When collaborations were new. The first generation of hybe beasts when the word was coined. Your timeline is bogus. Cacs didn't "gentrify" the sneaker game anytime recently. And even saying that is corny. It's a commercial product made by white people.. there was always white sneaker heads. I was at all the early sneaker cons. Sole collectors, sneaker pimps. Resellers are what fukked up the game. Not everyone was a reseller back then. Soon as everything had a lineup I was out the game. I don't do raffles or none of that.
