its hard to compare to the first release colorways because it was a new model (you know what I mean) and people had mixed feelings about the shoe and colorways. Even I wasn't too fond of the window sill midsole lol. When I was picking up my pair at NikeLab, tons of people were saying they won't go past $400 and got cashed out for $300 immediately right there. I kept mine because I saw potential in them, but didn't expect them to ever hit more than $500 after RD.
After people saw how the sacai waffles can do on the resale, people have been raising the bar higher for resale. I'm surprised the Nylon waffles didn't do as well as the predecessors
