hell I just through out some dress shoes that came to mind.... But anyway you slice it no matter how you do the shoes...it will ultimately lead down the road of the same results. Any change of method would in essence be placing a "bandaid on a bullet wound" The problem is simply put the mindset and society outlook worshipping etc... of certain individuals over a pair of sneakers. Even with pre order...these folks still end of the day will probably go out and wear the shoes.... Yea it would reduce the overall robbery/incidents etc... on initial release. And the massive amount of incidents/violent acts that occur all in one single isolated incident or day.Allen Edwards though ? ... Really ?
First of all.. MJ didnt say anything on the matter.
Secondly, releasing them exclusively online will only lead to harder attainability, more desirability and more problems in the longrun. Contrary to what many people may believe, there is still a digital divide in much of the US and not everyone has ready internet access. Making them exclusive to those with web access will likely lead to well to do re-sellers buying up massive amounts of stock and leaving even more people craving the shoes they could not get their hands on. I see how this would cut down on release day violence but in the long run I feel like this method would make the shoes seem even more exclusive and unattainable to many people causing more people getting robbed and potentially killed for their shoes after the fact.
I said it before, but I think the best solution is to reinstate the pre order system and allow people to fill out their pre orders in store. This would also ensure the revenue from each pair sold gets accredited to individual franchise stores/accounts as opposed to all going to NDC, Eastbay etc.
I agree with you to an extent.... but you have to look at it from others perspective.... you are buying a shoe that is constantly being released in a small time frame, with each release being reduce and degraded in quality... not to mention the shoes aren't of a high quality, top performance anyhow to begin with. And on top of that they are increasing with price...while decreasing in quality and likeliness of the originals.. (not all but def in most cases of retro/hybrid etc shoes) So I could see someone seeing a pair of shoes like iuno a pair of flyknit lunars and see a pair of re re re retroed and see one cost more despite being a lesser shoe...many ppl will see it as ok he just buying it to be "cool' or to impress/fit in with others.
