1. I think that those who collected when they came out would still look to those as grails. However, if you started collecting long after and/or just generally like the look without caring too much about the history of the shoe, then you wouldn't really care. Grails will probably remain grails
2. I think that a lot of older SB heat were very unique and had little things that are unlikely to become an ID choice. I don't think it's going to go anywhere.
3. It might bring the demand down a bit, but i think that prices have had enough time to settle, to the point where they're pretty much going to stay the same, even with a lower demand.

First time answering some of your questions John00...
Question #1: With Nike adding the elephant print option to the ID menu and many people opting to make a ID dunk version of the SB Supremes, how will this effect the way that grails are sought after?
I think not. I think that people that still want the originals will still want the originals. As being one of the older collectors here, I really am happy that they decided to do this. Heck, I just made my "poor" man's versions of the Black Supreme Low but that does NOT stop me in finding an original pair I had 8 years ago.
Question #2: Do you believe that if Nike ID continues to give more OG SB material choices that the "SB grail" may become extinct?
I don't think they wiil give the same quality materials that we saw in 2002-2006. Sure they will give us elephant print, but will they ever give us the same quality leather? Suede? Can you imagine if you can copy the UNKLE print? Doubt that will ever happen.
Question #3: Could these developments solely bottom out the "resell" market for older SB heat?
[/quote]
I hope it kind of bottoms out the resell market. I know instead of paying upwards of $700 and up for DS Supreme Lows, I would like it to go back to prices like $300 or so when I first bought off the resell market. $300 was a LOT of money back then and now, we are dropping almost just as much for Nike Basketball shoes. My, have times have changed.

More power to the person that Id's them a low supreme-esque cw. I'll create one but it will def be a high, I'll leave the lows alone. I'll eventually find a real pair of low premes in the future.

This culture has become the Pokemon craze all over again. People feel like their **** don't stink as long as they land that holographic Charizard.
The fact that folks actually get worked up over the aftermarket value or lack thereof of their shoes and hop on their perch as if owning a certain pair somehow means they've earned some unofficial sneakerhead gold star is the biggest reason I stay away from sneakercons and all that other stuff. Do people actually realize that life exists outside of $10 pieces of thread, rubber, and leather? It's almost as if dudes have a complete inability to separate a hobby from other aspects of their life.
No shots intended towards the two quoted individuals, just quoted to make a general point.
I'll be happy once this craze dies and it goes back to being a small niche. Can't wait to buy out someone's collection for flea market prices.

The varsity red is darker than the Supreme's fire red leather, the regular dunk tongue is not stuffed, and the shoes come with flat laces... but it's still better than paying $450 for a pair of supreme dunks... You can make the tongue material suede or elephant print, and the ankle height high or low, so that's a plus.

I would wait man that resell price will drop, unless its the whole package for that price then I would jump. I really think it will be like the SPOT dunks in which people couldnt really resell them for a high flip.
