I can't relate to the science of things now, I'm from a time where multiple shoes wasn't a necessity and random people had a large amount. If you didn't have money to buy a certain shoe you could wait a few weeks and go back and get it, now it has to be release day or you're missing out or paying a ridiculous amount.
I've been doing this for years, over 300 shoes and it just astounds me the state of the sneaker game right now. I don't use bots or buy to resale, if I miss out so be it but I don't like it or respect what these young cats have brought to the game.
You shouldn't have to do home work or hustle to buy a pair of shoes and it's these younger "sneakerheads" who usually say stupid ish like that, they came into a trend that wasn't their own and totally ruined it. To me it's just like the state of the rap game, people realized they can make money and just intruded what was once a respectable art form and ruined it entirely for everyone.
