It's definitely something worth writing about and definitely worth reading about, which is why they wrote it. Plus they didn't crop out Gumsoles' eBay tag for a reason.Originally Posted by Ayipapi

But anyway, if you don't have the 09 Space Jams by now, you probably won't be getting a pair any time soon.
The issue that I have with both the article and sneakernews in general is there articles are not written by people with tons of information on the topic but rather bloggers who get paid per story submitted which is generally why they post wayyy more then others....I've been hunting outlets for at least 5 to 6 years now..I was around when Tangers in PA was killing it with $29.99 Paris and Pigeon..when 5's was all over Woodbury...when the 1st CDP's hit Utah for $49.99....the article implies the "ease" of finding b-grades at outlets...yea right!!!!! I've networked over the year...got info dropped etc..and I still MISS a TON of #**@ cause it just is what it is...most of the people who frequent this thread understand how to search outlet and how to find what they need..but make no mistake about it..we are the very small miniority...when I try to explain it to dudes that are heavy into kicks they don't even get it...trust..your average person thinks heat just sits at outlets..
