Sometimes I feel Jimmy Jazz says they're releasing something at 12. Then at 12:01 they just put up the product page that says sold out. Good marketing scheme, salty people might cop something as a rebound weather its a pair of socks or a pair of kicks

Nah they do actually release the product, seems like the same people always are able to checkout on JJ
 
90% of people want these only to resell, market will be oversaturated.  People willing to drop insane amounts of money on them will outnumber the pairs available, too many people are getting these just to re-sell.
Makes sense, +1 for an educated assumption. 
 
I honestly don't think that internet speed matters much. I was able to get the cement 3 88s on my terrible college connection.
 
Finishinline huh? I don't see them even when entering the item#. Some of you guys have the game genie in hand
 
HaterBoxden, Local Celebrities/Rappers (Not Named Bun B) acquired some.

Gescobe, that's good to know. At least a few pairs get out to the regular people.

Boost, it's about the same in quantity. From what I heard though, less Blue 1's were available in the U.S. More Corks were made.

Some popular boutiques who didn't get Blue 1's got these. Ty's store being one for example.

When Jimmy Jazz puts up a new release, It's under the "Mens New Arrivals" button on their homepage right? I can't seem to remember.

That's what "sneaker heads" do these days, buy to flip. Which is cool when a consistent group does it, but the reseller market is flooded with them. Then comes the followers who see how much resellers can potentially make. 

But like you said, everyone is buying for resale. flooded markets = more money in Nikes pockets, they know that they can up the numbers and sell out, raise the MSRP, sell out. 

Eventually resellers will start to lose out because they are generating income based on someone else's product which is never a stable thing to do without a contract or any other type of agreement. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm young and definitely have a lot to learn, but I was hooked back in 3rd grade with my Concords (loved the jumpman on the bottom of the GS sizes). I buy what I like and love the story behind them, I even copped some Nike Free's at the outlet the other day for $16 and I could care less who likes them. (I wonder how many sneakerheads know the reason behind the corks).

Cool story though, I know

I'm pretty sure it's because Lebrons Doctor told him that his hairline is receding at such a fast rate, they're using cork dust (ground up cork from bottles of wine) to rejuvenate his hairline. Correct me if I'm wrong.
