🎾 OFFICIAL AGASSI RETRO THREAD 🎾

[The7onius]

Anything making money the lawmakers get very interested in and seeing people are making some really nice money for tax free it won't be too far away.

I don't give money to resellers at all, but seeing that people are so thirsty for kicks even to the point where they're hacking sites for a pair of shoes it's safe to say there's no end to this nonsense. To be honest y'all can have this culture now, it's pretty ridiculous anyway but I don't want to fight just to buy a shoe because some idiot with too much time on his hands doesn't want to leave his home or knows he wouldn't be nish without hacking.

I doubt nike has invested millions. Millions on what? Movng the placement of the size chart?

Likely "just" a few hundred thousand. They give less ***** than i do.

Based on ur comment I wont go in to deep but licensed software isnt cheap Nike doesnt own those images you click on, on  Saturday.... maintaing  a DB, man hrs, hardware, updates add up. You figure Nike has been at the bot issue for 2 yrs now publicly and who knows how long privately 

But its whateva believe what you feel but expand yourself as well

QfT.
It will never get better. Only worse, for social media and society feed off each other. This popularity contest for "likes" is numbing. But in order to gain massive likes is to post the hottest most limited product. The only way to obtain these items is to cheat the system. This cycle will never stop.

In these days, adapt or get left behind.
I choose the latter.

Naw just my two cents but I didnt know that they didnt own those images. Maintaining hardware and stuff would have to be done anyway. Changing layout of the site can be done by anyone with basic knowledge of java or any one of their entry level web designers.

It's already illegal not to report that income. You think they will go harder on this than waitresses not reporting their tip income?

agreed lol

the amount of time and resources it would take the government to regulate the people making "really nice money" wouldn't be worth there while.

to all the local resellers out there don't lose any sleep yet

Waitress tips in no way amounts to how much a reseller makes, I mean a real reseller who goes and buys full size runs.

This is all subjective any way, resellers think it's ok, people who just want to buy shoes don't. I hate resellers and hackers so I do my part to even the game, this nonsense has gotten way beyond ******ed.

It is what it is... But at the end UK sites will stop shipping to USA specifically END, SNS, Etc. where everything gets sold through the backdoor.

People will find a way... Proxy to re-alocate their location and a forwarding sevice with an address within the UK; a gift card to be used with any address and you're set.

I mean people ordering off Nike EU and Nike AU on limited releases dont mind paying that extra $50 bucks for the forwarding service to get a really hyped shoe.

At the end of the day is all about the hype sadly but true. Is a circle that will never end... Look at the Ticketmaster and tickets resellers... I took my lady and in-law to go see Romeo Santos and i picked some tickets from this dude in SF that actually has an office on Van Ness Ave and all he does is freaking resell tickets, i mean i peeped to the back and dude had about 8-10 computers running i didnt bother asking methods cause most likely he wouldnt say/admit but it was pretty obvious.

This trend has become the new "work from home" for many.... Or that side job that will pick up some bills. Im not hating on anyone props to you if you cooking, but like B Fresco said on IG most of these sites knew about this long time ago and not until now when you got people snitchin and complaining is when they are "acknowledging" the whole thing.

Just my 0.02

Edit: don't expect everyone to read it neither.

Finally got my hands on the Kumquats locally yesterday from Premium Goods. Shout out to them. Idk I'm not really into the GS series other than the US opens. FO grew on me a little and are nice but can't do those resell prices. If they can't drop stateside in good quantity, they can have em. Been wanting these quats since first pics surfaced though. Felt good to not have to wait for these in the mail. They really have that "vintage" appeal that I love. Very dope.

nice pick up bro

Im confused sneakernews has these pic for the red hybrids and they look great

View media item 1036445
But then i go to nikestore and the pic they have is different the laces are white the splatter print is grey they just look wierd

View media item 1036446
Question is which one is it? Or is the splatter 3M and you get black laces too ?

Amazing how the change of little details change the shoe from trash into a good one.

no

Waitresses out there double their salaries with tip income. Ask any waitress or former waitress you know. Same with strippers, they aint goin that hard on strippers. Of course strippers report some of their tips, but not all. The number of waitresses out there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> number of resellers. Some of you give too much credit to the importance of the shoe game.

Way more than the 7 or 8 hundred dollars a pro reseller makes after selling shoes for $70 extra income on ebay. Not even close to every reseller buys full size runs. Most resellers I have encountered sel 1-3 shoes.

Even so they would rather tax income than make it illegal since no one is hurting anyone who isnt overly sensitive.

agreed lol

Resellers after this release

Its all good homie. I still see that sz 10 on the horizon for u
