yep.. i hope adidas can kill off resellers because nike loves to see people fight rob die and sell their shoes for entertainment.. i betcha in the meetings.. each time someone gets in a fight.. they get a bonus or something.

for a "limited" "Hyped-up" shoe.. i highly doubt it will be some unclaimed and IF they are.. the employees will have them before a regular person would

Adidas will never hurt Nike in the US as far as hype/resellers/sellouts go. Their secret weapon was just relvealed and looks like a preliminary drawing for the original Nike release... usually I think you're joking then sometimes I think you actually belive that booty chatter you're always spitting.

I didn't even know these were dropping on NDC.
I saw and RSVP site asking 100 bucks for a slot...LMAO.
I'll give it a try manually but if not that 275 saved.

but this is Yeezus.. the Yod's only son here to challenge the evil Nike and create the new generation of shoes.. All it takes is this release and Yeezism will begin.. Nike will slowly begin to fall from the top.. and adidas at least are trying hard to prevent resellers from cooking from their release.. if this was nike.. they could drop in alaska only and fools would fly there to camp out in -25 degree weather to flip.

It's a crap shoot... We can all speculate about Nike's Marketing tactics, inventory levels, putting things in the vault, collaborations, but there is no recipe for hype. Shoes either have it, or they don't and its not dependent on one particular metric. I often wonder why people gravitate to certain shoes... is it groupthink, elitism, aesthetics, comfort, scarcity, technology, nostalgia. I look at my shoe collection today and I can't even make sense of it. To think that Nike knows me better than myself, is just flat out laughable. The only thing they know about me is that I am loyal to the brand.
As far as the days of walking in and walking out with pairs. I don't remember it being that easy... I remember in 1996 having to deal with a pair of black Penny II's that were 1/2 size too big because Footlocker in Miami back then was only getting 2 full size runs; and moms had to wait in line before opening to get those(xmas present). Hell, I wore size 13.5 1997 royals when my true size was a 12 just because I had to have them and they were sold out everywhere. When the pearls dropped like 2 months after, I stood in line before opening to guarantee to get my 12, and those also sold out that day. Back then, the hype was "this is nike's most expensive shoe ever", limited availability because of construction method, autoclave technology, Pippen's new shoe(Pearls), celebrity X wears em, blah, blah, same old story we've been hearing all along. And people were wondering if they would sell out because they thought 180 for Ones, and 170 for Pros was too high. It was a story in local news, and GMA back then and it is now. People were getting mugged, shot, etc. Hyped shoes are just mythical.
Iversons, Griffeys, Sprewells, Pippens, Grant Hills, were all tough to get in the exact size or color-way you wanted back then...The only ones that were sorta easy were J's, but how is that any different than the same thing we see with countless Brons sitting today. And when playoff time came, they were near impossible to get, I having lucked out on getting OG Jordan 12 playoffs. So if you want that feeling, go buy (insert current premiere athlete) shoes now. Cause when their career is all said and done, by virtue of brand history, accomplishments, whatever, there's just gonna be more people in the line with you; but there is also going to be more shoes produced.
So you say things have changed and all I remember is the same old, just more of it.

well downsouth the big sneakers werent aht big back then.. when i would come as a kid id see a couple people with Foams and they were going up north to get them.. but almost all the hot kicks in the 90's were easy to get.. Jordans.. we would just go to mall beside the middle school and come late to class in fresh jordans.. i think the only time i saw a line pre-2000 was the black and red 11's.. that weekday it was a beast.. everyone skipped school for those..lol just to stunt during lunch.. the only shoes i remember not being able to get in my size where the Foot Action exclusive grant hills.. i was not happy.. (so funny now that fila was selling like nike for that shoe..lol) but deions air missions air up's air max 95's air penny (not foams) werent hard to get.. i remember just waiting to go to the nike factory store.. i could get jordans and pennys for 50 bucks.. i got my diamond turf 2's for 39.99.. it was easy pickings back then.. and the hype was high back then.. people had slam magazine.. and lets not forget eastbay.. so everyone was talking about them.. and then we all found out shoetrends.com.... the hype got bigger..lol we knew what was coming out and still was able to get them.. the ONLY shoe i could remember where it got serious.. the grey jordan 11's.. those had the mall spit up in 2 lines.. 1 for footlocker and 1 for foot action.. it was tight in there.. the mall was across the street from low income housing.. and my friend had to run back to his car cause he got the last size 10 and someone dry snitched on him.. all he heard was.. thats the dude with the size 10 get him.. they were letting only 3 people in store at once.. it was crazy..lol besides that.. everything else was normal.. it was like "he got game".. man yall got me thinking about the good days..lol
Nike knows what its doing but we refuse to boycott them.. we are the consumer so we have the power to make them bow to our demands.. but since we dont want to nike will make foams $350 by 2020 by recreating galaxy and concord hype for their shoes.. we just need to say.. screw this.. dont buy them for a bit and catch them on the price drops.. then we can all save.
me i buy shoes because i like them.. not because of hype or price.. since foams are costing to much im going to try to get the lebron 12's or get the rookies.. all red and all blue.. put some sole protection on them and "ice out"
my shoe collection now is majority foams lots of OG sneakers.. old kicks that i bough from 1998 on forth.. hell i got deadstock receipts..lol that was back then when Foot locker had the 30% disco0unts without any limits.. no lines.. discounts.. i pay 94 bucks for the jordan XIV low Carolina blue.. still have the DS receipt..lol
and as far as sneaker theft.. dudes were not rocking new kicks on gym day.. we knew better.. but as far as foams.. they stayed in stock when i was growing up.. i just couldnt afford them.

Here is an interesting little bit; foams cost the same now as they did back then. It was a hard pill to swallow price wise to buy foams in 1997 and the same is true today. $180 in 1997 is the market equivalent of $ 265 today. Economies of scale and R&D cost be damned. I guess it doesn't help that Nike destroyed the original foam molds from 1997.

i dont believe in inflatino when it comes to shoes.. look at video games.. as a kid street fighter 2 on the SNES was 69.99.. now if i want sf4 ultra its 60 tops and back in ps2 days games were 50 bucks.. it is cheaper to make foams now than before so theres no reason for a crazy price increase... only people who justify that talk are mostly resellers and hyper beasts
