I've been saying the same thing for the longest time. Resellers aren't effecting JB's bottom line one bit so why would they care? The real culprits are the pseudo sneakerheads themselves. They are their own worst enemy and they're to stupid to see it. The Pokemon mentality is at the root of the problem. People just have to have EVERY release. Sometimes even 2 or more pairs of the same damn shoe LOL. They're so delusional that they don't even deem said behavior as a problem. It's always easier to just point the finger at someone else though.Yep, Nike could care less about resellers. If they did, they would increase production numbers of every retro they released. Why risk having shoes sit though when you don't have to? Especially when you can use it as an opportunity to push out a different shoe and have that one sell out as well.
If anything, they probably relish the fact that people are willing to pay so much for products that cost them pennies to make. Why else would they be pumping out 3+ retros a month? There has never been a time where they've released this much. The people to "blame" for the aftermarket prices are those who willingly pay those prices. It takes two to tango. You can't sell products at a markup to imaginary buyers. People love to blame resellers for everything. How about saying no and living without a shoe you miss out on?
