u are obviously NOT a marketing major. althought we don't like the limited release marketing strategy, it is obviously good for the brand. it's quitesimple. limited/hyped releases = more money for nike IN THE LONG RUN. stop ur whining already.

i know i can't be the only one who is sick of this lame crying like a little b!tch day in and day out. take that $+!* somewhere else man, damn.

I will try my luck to get a pair of the pearls. Also to the guy asking about the army foams, there's a seller on ebaywith a couple of pairs of b-grades asking $400 obo.

On another not charm I sent you a pm about your yeezys.
 
You all have been bamboozled.

On another note, someone tried charging me $400 for some Black/Black Foam 1s. Buggin.
 
CharmCity kid, you did a very good job at shutting your herb down, but could u not post directly after yourself?
It is rather distasteful.
How would the community feel if everyone started double posting?

i guess u are huh...?.....

You must consider yourself awise or OG NTer gettin all offended. I WASNT TALKIN TO U TRUST ME....dont flatter yourself. If you were smart you'd know Nike would the same amount ofmoney whether they did exclusives or not. More money if they didnt. Maybe only 15% of the country even knows or cares these are coming out. I bet some peopleboycott buying Nikes cause of this....good for the brand huh....?

Sorry i feel bad for people who want a shoe they will never touch. I know the feeling when the Royals and Dark Army's dropped. Everyone deserves whateverthey wanna pay for. You cant even get these and you defending Nike for doin it....WOW. Open your eyes fam.

it ain't all about initial sals son. they want to keep u coming back for more. look at the yeezy fiasco. all those who missed out on the 1st 2 c/w'sare going hard for the tans. and that's exactly how nike planned/wanted it.

if u saturate the market with a shoe, it loses it's luster. if it is readily available, it's not as sought after. when a shoe sells out instantly,there is added mystique to the shoe. it becomes greater than it really is in the minds of those that weren't able to obtain the sho. this goes for anyproduct.

look at xbox 360, ps3, iphone. they all use this srtategy for a reason.

when has any of these companies only put out a limited number of they're products....? Only 240 PS3's on release day......only 240 iPhones.....i dontthink so. Anyone who wanted a PS3 has one. Not to mention all these companies make more than one version of theyre sh**. You gotta do better than that. No onewill ever convince me that this makes sense. And no one has to try. If you wanna get sucked into it then do u. I just wouldve expected more from acompany empire like Nike. Whatever happened to supply & demand.....good ol American business.

Royals On The Other Hand If I Remember Correctly Didn't Sit Long At All....... I Will Say That The Available Pairs For Sale Of BOTH Nowadays Are Few And Far Between.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm not feeling the clear soles on these with the Pearl upper...

I thought that no show would be wack with an icy sole... I stand corrected...
