There's some truth in what sephu6 is saying, not that the numbers will change anything aesthetically about the shoe. Once you slap that "ONLY 2000" pairs on 'em, it will change the perception of the shoe. A lot of the sneaker community is attracted to that label. Current example is the NYC1's since when they dropped heads were dropping a stack and now after numerous restocks and not "ONLY 800" pairs, heads won't try to drop more than 3. Nothing about the shoe looks different it's the same from RD but the perception has changed. Sometimes the supply creates the demand. JD's aren't a good looking shoe but with ONLY 800 pairs people copped 3 hunnit dollar hats to cop...
NA I's are still more limited than a typical release.
You could say the same about the black and gum release. If they were like NY's yada yada
It's just that they're charging $185 for them.
Tack on 20 releases each weekend of February, them not being an OG colorway and it's easy to see why they are sitting.
The Knicks, black/gum and Celtics all were around for a while. And I thought they were ok.
I like I's, but $185? I can't even see myself paying $165 out of principal. The leather is nice as hell, but $185 without tax?
A kid has a choice of some Kyrie's for $110 or some $185 for some I's? Which one do you think he'll pick?
