I wasn't going to comment, but I feel like I need to.
I normally stay quiet, do my research, and pray for releases of any kind (tickets, sneakers, clothing, etc). This has worked quite well in recent years and I am extremely thankful for that.
However, I believe sites like NT, which serve as a resource for releases like this, should not be public sites. The access should be limited to members and the member application process should be more stringent. I understand this is a hard policy to implement, but it is do-able. I also understand that this goes against freedom of speech/freedom of information.etc. However, it really is a shame when people who are passionate about sneakers (and have been their entire lives) are shut out due to people that know nothing about the culture, other than the fact that it is profitable.
I am not against the resale of sneakers because we live in a capitalistic country, but this industry has really gotten away from the roots I was so passionate about as a kid.
Rant over. Best of luck to everyone on ADC.
