Your last paragraph was dead on and accurately well said..Why?
In an ideal world for whom?
This is Nike's ideal world.
They are a private business making use of marketing tactics that allow them to dominate their industry at a level and duration rarely seen by any brand in any industry whatsoever.
Is there some sort of provision for access to limited edition luxury goods within the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of which I am not aware?
The only rights here are Nike's, as a private business, to produce what they want in whatever quantities they choose.
And, mind you - I don't even buy any of these releases. I don't try. And, I don't really care. Every DB Jordan has been hideous, with the exception of the 6. (The 9 isn't horrid, i guess). These would all get clowned like crazy if they were GRs. So, I fund it comical when I see dudes turn into Vladimir Lenin when half the times their root desire for the item in the first place is based in the most superficial form of commodity fetish-ism there is.
But, carry on, young revolutionaries...
