Seems to me that Nikes old business model made more sense, seed these shoes with almost zero prior knowledge to a few shops, personally deliver X amount of pairs to trendsetters, tastemakers, athletes and entertainers and let the sneaker heads and early adopters have "something different" that sets the trend for the general public.  I can guarantee this Galaxy release does not give any non sneaker head any type of incentive to go out and purchase a different pair of Foams or any Nike for that matter.

This release ain't about making money bro.  If that were the case, they'd be on NDC where there's no middle man and they can break off 100% of the profits instead of selling wholesale to a retailer at 55% of MSRP.  And surely you don't really believe that only sneakerheads are out to cop; I would venture that of the campers, the majority are amateur resellers, a fair amount of hypebeasts and a few devoted sneaker heads.  NSW in particular is driven by the hype machine; when is the last time you've ever seen ANY marketing for a Nike Retro? 

There's no going back to the quickstrike because it's just not possible anymore.  We live in the instant age, with blogs and social media and even ancient old Niketalk always getting the jump on unreleased product.  While it would be nice for more pairs to be floating out to make an easier cop, the demand isn't going down for the sneaks anytime soon.

Yep, this release wasn't about money now, it's about keeping that hype built up for consistent money later.  They don't want this "shoe game" to become what happened to the card collection scene in the 90s.

eventually, there will be enough Apple products for people, sneakers are limited...a better comparison would be Black Friday...

When we finally ran, some dude actually fell and dropped a gun, and another dude who paid a couple people to run for him tried to sneak up to the front and got pulled out by the cops, got hit a couple times, then got thrown to the ground and maced. I watched it happen. It was ridiculous. I was about midway through the line and the cops kept yelling to back up, so I stepped out of the line to help the cops, tried to get back in and people were saying I was cutting. Had to go to the end, missed out on any shoe, then went to the champs on the north side of the mall to try to get the other shoes. They had maybe 60 people in line with over 150 shoes available, but they let people buy all 3 shoes. I was near the end of that line and missed out, but some dude outside told me $200 for a pair of Dave White 1's in size 12 and i quickly jumped on that.

Don't think I'll be trying a release like this ever again. It was insanity.

Holy ****. Never knew Seattle sneaker heads would stoop so low. Damn, good thing I didn't bother going there. Screw that.

How many pairs of Galaxys did that HoH end up gettting?

 

[broomall4life]

#%% happened to the shoe game? this is really getting out of control. these kicks are hideous and still the kids beast out and riot. it's unreal.

The other major difference is quantity available.  If you want the new iPhone and you dont get it in the initial release, you know that you can still obtain one later down the road for retail.  With Nike's, they are limited, it is now or never for purchasing the shoes at retail.

Do I need to be the first one to point out the obvious answer to this question? I'm certainly not racist by the longest stretch, but stereotypes exist because they are true. Don't need to go any further.

Of all the releases I've been to, I've never witnessed someone of European or Asian descent act unruly. Just African-Americans. Is that politically correct enough for Niketalk?
