Why is there so little demand for these?
the first 2 releases on the year are not first day sell outs for some reason

Why is there so little demand for these?
What sucks is that people like you and me who buy the shoes to wear get screwed over by higher retail prices.. I can happily say I've never paid over retail for any of my shoes but it sucks that we're getting stuck with this price increase even for low demand models.I'm wondering of the price increase is really starting to deter the nickel and dime reseller. Assuming these go for 225 or so on the aftermarket, that is virtually no profit to a loss for resellers selling online. Besides limited shoes and maybe some very particular general releases (xis) the days of resellers might be coming to an end. I mean loom at the infrared 6, people can't move them for 275 online. On ebay if you got 275 you would be plus 80 dollars before ebay fees, PayPal fees and shipping. Assuming they were 197 with tax like they were for me in CT I would only make like 30 dollars off them depending where I shipped them to. As of now there is no general release this year that will even be close to the demand of the infrared 6. Add in the price bump and things just might start getting back to normal.
Done. Had no idea that mattered. Just for future reference, what could someone do with an order number?@'pdcmachine',,
Some advice for ya.
Take that screenshot down before you get got.
uhhh Thunder and Sport Blue XIVs were marinating on NDC only a few months ago...^Good its been so long since i seen a retro sit on ndc
Today is the 2nd time I've ever been successful on Eastbay... most of the time they're sold out instantly. I wear a size 8 so my size is almost gone instantly on most hype releases. I feel where you coming from.Hey I have a question?
Seems like I can never ever everrrrrrrrr get through to eastbay. For years. Is this a regional thing? Finishline has always been my gem. I get in, click click, done. NDC is ok, footlocker is affiliated by and I get through yeah, but never eastbay.
Price increase doesn't matter, Just Dons are going to be $350 and will easily sell out.I'm wondering of the price increase is really starting to deter the nickel and dime reseller.

'the remastered' thing was just an excuse to raise prices by $20 vs the $5-$10 increment of years before.
Nike is reselling to US, vs. resellers getting us for that extra money.
You're gonna see more price changes this year with certain releases. i.e. $190 for this 7, but another 7 is gonna get you for $200

AHA DOUBT! Not only are they in higher demand since most people would rate those as the #1 7 model, but also, people getting their tax refunds in the months prior.
Hope Hares and Bordeaux are this easy.
They both were easy grabs last time they released but times are very different now.

people carting just to cart is corny to me
I practice carting all the time. I cop 100% online manual. NDC, FTL family, FNL, JJ, SNS I work them all. Never camp...never raffle. I have not purchased a shoe at the mall since 2012. Online is not luck and I have never struck out on a GR or semi-limited release...never. Just sayin-some collect raffle tickets others learn how to skillfully cop online. If you're going to have consistent success online you have to practice.
maybe they just practicing for the next releases lol
+1I paid like $230 for these in 03 because i missed the 02 release date. So getting these for 190 is a come up for me lll
whats going on with FNL? Getting all my healthy cards declined and ****
Yep! Keep trying but get ready for $5000 in authorizations on your card/account
Nothing. That's their normal practice.
Exactly. It's B.S. because now everyone is forced to pay higher prices if they want a shoe. At least before you had a chance to cop for a lower retail price...
