This. Dudes be like VVNDS and shoe have mad dirt on it and they still want 80% or more over retailJordan's ain't never been an exclusive commodity.. All I'm sayin which I said yesterday was I hardly see people in NYC wearing them.also, people rocking jordans in large masses is definitely not anything new.
I remember when the 01 black/red XIs dropped. I swear everyone in my high school had them on. all we did was say "you too!!!" and keep it moving. definitely nothing that can be done about wearing a popular shoe.
In comparison to the past years when people were wearing them. Now it's just a bunch of little kids buying em to sell em.. To buy hermes belts and Gucci sneakers

i love when dudes on kixify and ebay list there sneakers as brand new and than in the description they say shoes were worn 1-3 times but there like brand new hahahah

i don't have a problem with seeing a bunch of people with the same kicks on after they release because i don't even put mines into rotation till about a year or 2 later so it never bothered me as much.
They def help hype everything up. Whether it's subpar quality or not.I think the blogs help JB sell their crap. Most OG colorways will sell but now, the crap colorways sellout before they hit sales and clearance.
and the described "worn 1-3 times" actually looks like it was worn 10 times or more. I know what worn once for a few hours looks like. Hell, I've worn certain pairs 5 times and simply wipe them and they look nothing like what people are describing.i love when dudes on kixify and ebay list there sneakers as brand new and than in the description they say shoes were worn 1-3 times but there like brand new hahahah

ive worn a pair of shoes once for 3 hours and sold em off as brand new before... just watched where i stepped and got home and cleaned the little dirt that was on the bottom, they had no creases.. no way anyone could tell so hey why not at that point? took care of em as if they were brand new so not gonna sell them as used if i dont have to...
also buyer was 100% satisfied with them and positive repped me so whatever.

The problem with that is, you don't physically hold the shoe so you become a slave to hype and become a dumb customer. Just buy what you're told. It's sad, but also fits the target demographic. I'm a little old for it, but I still like shoes, like most of the people here who are out of their teens. I can't tell you how important seeing a shoe and physically holding it plays a part in determining if you buy or not.
I think blog hypes it in terms showing you what to wear. This day and age where everyone loves taking selfies, focus is more about appearance it's easy to go to a site and see how you want to look. Most are familiar with JB and think that they'll get instant prop for sporting them. This indirectly creates its own hype. I mean, Kith and those other collabs are throwing out dope shoes and at times for a lot less than a retro J but majority are not running to them in masses because they're not familiar with that brand.
Familiarity and self images is the hypebeast.
My question to you is, if you wore them for 3 hours and sold them, why buy them in the first place? Was it a one time thing or do you do it regularly? Shoes, like many things in life and other articles of clothing, depreciate in value once worn. I don't get why people who are into shoes don't understand that. That's why I say we (those who buy kicks) are responsible for these increased prices ultimately because we buckled a long time ago giving into paying over retail for a newly released shoe that's been worn. **** is crazy.
