so what? hes selling them. big deal. be quiet.
influence can include price but i beleive its all personal choice. the masses shouldnt have a major impact but could have some.
Do the "masses" influence your buy decision?

I think it affects some of you more than you may think. When I started buying sneakers, it affected me. I realized I would like a pair that was more exclusiveor received more hyped. Def not like that anymore. What ever I like, I purchase.

there are definitely other factors that come into play when it comes to my purchases, other than just what i like. we dont get all the releases in canada. sosome releases ill want more because ill know that ill be one of a few in my city rockin them. i dont know anyone else in vancouver that has a pair of cool grey3s. so do the masses influence what i buy??? yeah! but i dont want the ones everyone else wants. i wouldnt ever buy kicks just for that reason. that might justmake me want them a little more

If everyone bought the Bred 11s and wore them. I'd still love them as much as I do now.

No.
I believe as consumers we have to be very picky about all our purchases, lets make our money speak for us.

9/10 would lie sayin they'd buy what they like but it isn't true. For me and for those that love writing thesis's, I think that the reason whyI pull the trigger is because I don't wanna lose the opportunity nor regret not buying when I have the chance. Hype is part of everything. You can alwaysrefund, tastes and shoes grow on people. So it goes hand in hand. I feel sorry for the circus 6s, because those skittles are excessively flooded in the 2ndmarket which fuked the resellers.

I always see people on this site always saying (they are growing on me) were do that come from. Its the 24/7 beat down of the shoes being in people face. Casein point 100 plus pages of XX3, Aquas, DMP, etc. People starting out saying they do not like the shoes but then later on they say they are growing on me. So Ithink its more HYPE then anything else.

i buy what i like...
BUT if theres a pair im on the fence about, and the hypebeasts are on the prowl, it does play a factor in my final decision
id rather buy for retail (or less) than have to pay the resellers a grip later on

Half of the people in the masses are idiots anyways, I need positive role-models. So no I buy what I like regardless of what others think or buy themselves.

The only way the masses influence me is by letting me know how difficult a release will be to purchase if I want it. In no way am I affected by otherpeople on what I want.

I do, for example, the Jordan 10/13 pack was so hyped, I bought a pack. I later saw I didn't like either, so I sold them. Hey, what can I say? I thinkabout other people's reaction too much.

Unfortunately.......yes
BUT I've gotten rid of some pairs thatjust weren't doing it for me anymore such as peapod 8s, fire red 5s, fire red 3s, and black/ red 12s. Sorry after awhile certain pairs just start losingtheir luster for me.

No, not at all, but it sure feels good when I know I'm not the only one jumping on a rediclous JB bandwagon release like the new Oly 6s.

Yes I buy on hype. I roam the streets looking for the latest "word" in regards to shoes. Then I do an informal poll, and ask a bunch of peopleabout colorways, which one is FIYAH or which one is an easy pass. My latest research says that the Jordan 23 is indeed, hot FIYAH. The Spizikes are notFIYAH. The six rings are not FIYAH. Also, when I did my poll in San Francisco, the Olympic Sixes were definitely deemed FIYAH, so take that haters.
So yeah, I buy on hype and what is FIYAH. I don't buy shoes for me to look at, but for all the world to stare at the FIYAH on my feet.

Nope, that's why I didn't get any Spiz'ikes (?) or Dub Zeroes.
