I wanna say you have to k own your stores/neighborhoods/crowds/releases and that should mitigate the safety and shenanigans.......BUT, then we have wht happened in California at Shoe Palace last year where a staff member got shot over a raffle for black and camo dunks which barely had any resell value and didn't look that good at all.
They do this for Bourbon in my area too believe it or not. They follow the delivery truck. Old retired dudes sitting outside the liquor store at 3-4 AM waiting till 9 hoping to score a hard to find bottle. It’s nuts. It’s worse than sneakers.
Wait, what?
I get this, but this isn't every reseller. I mean, I applaud the stance. But, it's not this virtuous thing necessarily. We all have our personal approach to sneakers and our non negotiables. And everyone going after hype leaves a ton of dope kicks on shelves at steals. I was team anti resell until about 2019. Heck, I was basically team anti retail. I would literally only pay retail a few times a year and everything else was under $100. Before then, I would wait for the outlets, Marshalls, sales, pre-owned, etc. It didn't make sense for me to pay increasing prices for sneakers with decreasing quality and decreased quality control. And the petty in me enjoyed telling a someone I paid $50 for a shoe they pay $150 for lol. I also enjoyed styling a pair that flew under the radar and a breaking other heads necks and hanging their opinion about a shoe. But, to be honest kicks kind of became like traveling for me or any kind of experience. I kinda got tired of having to appreciate it from a distance, especially once I was able to afford it. So rather than buy or keep 3 kicks I barely wear, I'll pay retail or resell on 1 or 2 pairs I'm genuinely excited about. And if I don't like them, I'm usually the guy on StockX or goat or eBay pissing off sellers because I don't mind taking the lowest offer lol. Unless I bought a pair specifically for resell (which are majority outlet finds) imnjist trying to get enough for then next sneaker.

posted justifies my position, for me.
Metro Detroit actually the area I'm talking aboutWait, what?
I’m from metro Detroit (don’t live there now), where is this happening?
How does that even make sense of any kind? Are there that many random drops and/or “quick strikes” these days to justify doing that? That ish sounds beyond wild to me LOL
. I get doing this at the outlets because you could come up on something and that's where the bulk buyers go. But, yeah, these kids are waiting outside for a couple hours with zero guarantee of getting anything. Then when they finally open they harass the staff asking for "heat" and returns. It has to work sometimes but not enough to do this regularly. There's a new footlocker across from where Northland Mall used to be. They do it there and at other footlockers. I was watching YouTube and apparently it's a thing in New York too.
I agree. Most of my resell purchases are air max and new balance and formerly sb dunks. Unless it's an OG or a good Collab, no Jordan is worth resell to me, most are barely worth retail. Not because I don't like them but to see the price go in one direction and quality go in the other is a slap in the face. If resellers don't finesse you Nike/Jordan definitely will.
I rarely double up but when I do it's for a sneaker I want to wear often but I'm hesitant to unDS because I like the shoe so much I don't want to just wear it to the grocery store. Having a second pair makes me feel alot more comfortable about wearing the first pair knowing I have a crispy pair on ice. And I usually only do this when 8 can get a deal on at least one of the pairs. I've only done this with air force ones, Maroon AJ6s, most recently Fire red AJ3s and these Penny 1s.

I double on shoes I know I will wear a lot and are easy to go with a lot of things. Once I’ve worn em a while later on when I’m going somewhere or need a fresh pr. They don’t look right with a new fit. So after pull the double pr, probably in a yr or so, I’ll use one for getting dressed and one for running around.
Hell yeahApparently I got the last 13, we’ll see I suppose
