), prolly cuz they got money to blow like that... but then, shortly after, the market is usually flooded, and prices start to come down to reasonable levels... i've seen it happen on any shoes with any type of hype to 'em, from yeezys to asics...
usually, if you hold tight, you can catch 'em for a much more reasonable price (just don't wait too long cuz once the market becomes less flooded, people get desperate again and start paying sandusky prices again)...
i really hope these don't go all OD and see 2 and 3k resell prices, but considering the madness lately, how everybody is a sneakerhead and/or reseller these days, it won't surprise me (at least initially)...
but i'm with y'all on not giving into the resellers on these, we just gotta chill, stand our ground, cuz ultimately we do control the resell value (along with how limited they are, the hype surrounding them, etc)...
