I’m with y’all. I was down to pay resell for the St. John’s, but paying over 400 is brazy. My Max was 260.

I would've copped for 250-275. Definitely not this 400. I grabbed 4 pair of Syracuse and 2 UK's for less then 220 each. Covid fd everything up.

Like I mentioned before in here, it just makes me appreciate what I have even more. I actually feel bad for those having to pay these inflated prices on GRs most of us copped at well below retail 15 years ago. I mean if you got it to spend, more power to you. But I personally I couldn't knowingly pay double retail on basic colorways and inferior materials. Hell, we were complaining about what Nike called 'leather' in '06. Cant imagine what they're using now.

Honestly I stopped letting striking out for retail bother me at this point. Every release I just hope that resell is reasonable. If it isn’t I’m out.

I own all the non-SB Dunks that recently dropped starting with the Viotechs. Only Plums were copped for retail on SNKRS & that was due to wifey actually scoring. I’ve yet to pay over $300 for Viotechs, Syracuse, Kentucky, Brazil’s or UVA’s/Champs which I just copped for $280.
Now for some hidden reason, in order to complete the set I have to pay $400 plus for St. John’s?!
Guess I’ll be one short. I may be a lot of things but a moron I’m not.

Can’t believe these are 4 years old already.
Maybe I’ll Un-DS them this weekend?

Much prefer when we were calling them bomb pops than the "tri color" nickname you see sometimes also.

I know we've talked a lot about dunk hype now vs dunk hype then, and some cats say it's the same. It's the same to the extent that it's all manufactured hype. But I never once remember seeing CNN, or any other news for that matter, reporting on oversold stock. Unless someone got stabbed, shot, or lit **** on fire, dunks did not make the news in 00-06. This **** is different. I don't know why and I won't pretend to. But this hype today is of the toxic variety. It doesn't even feel like sneaker culture.

Gonna put my tin foil hat on.
That article did seem pretty damn fishy. Almost like it was a paid article to drum up even more hype
. Something like that doesn't feel like it's worth writing about. Websites oversell stuff all the time.And it was under the 'Investment' section of the website.

Pretty much agree but I saw those 2005 pigeon dunks make headlines.
